According to my scientific ranking system Ward is higher than John based on the 'what have you done for me lately' criteria.
Ward dominated Mikkel Kessler,a fighter held in universal respect and also impressively outclassed Edison Miranda and Allan Green and beat Sakio Bika last time out.
Chris John battled to a draw with Rocky Juarez, a fighter who was 3-3 in his last before facing John and has gone 0-3 since.
He has fought only 3 times since 2008, winning twice with all three fights going to decision.
Ward meanwhile has fought 6 times in the same period, winning every fight and against a higher quality of opposition.
John's disputed win over Juan Manuel Marquez was 5 years ago and since he has hardly been significant.
Ward rates higer according to the now patented Baggin's Scale (B.S).
