If you take Floyd after about the same time in the game as Ward, their resumes are pretty comparable I'd say.

I was going to type more but then I remembered who made this thread.
I swear I'm not trolling or trying to hate on Floyd, but I have to respectfully disagree with u on Floyd having a similar r comparable resume. Even at this point, I can see an argument that Ward has beaten superior competition. Froch, Kessler, Abraham, Bika, Green and Dawson is a phenomenal line up. Especially considering each guys prime and standing at the time Ward beat them.

As long as you swear... I'm pretty sensitive

Not that's totally fair, in fact as far as time spent as a pro it's hard to argue for Floyd when I actually boxrec it Ward has been in the game almost ten years now, but I think Floyds biggest wins actually came after he had moved up past his natural weight and been pro for longer, so hard to say overall.

I put quite a bit of stock in fighters being able to move up in weight myself, and I don't think Ward is likely to match Floyd if he stays at 168, the challengers just aren't there anymore.
