    One newly inducted hall of famer, one future first-ballot hall of famer, and two guys who have held the position of pound-for-pound king at some point.

    Discuss.

    Right now Ward. Canelo could still go on to be greater.
    I would love to see the fight between them. Ward has always kept in shape and he has a Bernard Hopkins type style that ages well so I don't see why it couldn't happen.
    Huge money for Ward and much less of a health risk than the Joshua fight he wanted to take.

    ???

    It's Canelo, and it's not remotely close.

    Ward for me. Canelos awesome and truly an elite fighter. But Wards just a bit higher at the moment, imo.

    Canelo has plenty of time to change that though.

    It’s Ward clearly who beat a high level of competition including everyone before him. Canelo has 2 draws and lost to Mayweather in basically a shut out.

    We can evaluate properly once Canelo’s time is done.

    Cuz I rate Froch, Kessler, and younger Kova, over Cotto, Trout, Jacobs, Lara, old Kova and old Golovkin.

    Canelo lost to an old G, and got shut out by a smaller Mayweather. Ward lost to a not too far past it Kova and avenged it by knockout.

    Dont see how its the blowout youre implying.

    And thats with me scoring the Golovkin 2, Trout and Lara fights for Canelo. Plenty of people felt he lost those 3.

    It's understandable why some would pick Ward right now but Canelo's resume will end up rating him above Ward when it's all said and done.

    "Low blow king" Ward or "Juice master" Canelo. The absolute state of this question.
