    i vote Ward based on super6 even tho he hasn't fought all the original lineup or away from home like everyone else. He does have 1 good win over Froch and a half decent win over one eye Kessler. RJJ has nothing, he waited for Toney to get fat and then dehydrated him, his only notable win at smw

    RJJ would make a fool out of ward. Put both fighters in their prime RJJ would straight up clown all over Ward.

    h2h roy has the edge, but ward is arguably the most highest achieving at the single weight division, though calzaghe and ottke have greater duration spent racking up lesser wins there.

    Another objective post. :lol:

    Ward's win over Froch was great, especially as Ward had a fractured hand.

    Roy only fought at the weight about 7 times.

    It wasn't his fault that Toney ballooned up and had to drop a lot of weight. Also, he'd only fought 3-4 months earlier. Of course Toney's weight struggles take the shine off of the win, but nobody ever beat Toney as easily, and in my honest opinion, the outcome would have been the same even if Toney had been 100%. It was just a bad match up for him stylistically.

    Roy also had good-very good wins over Malinga and Lucas, who he beat easily.

    Jones because what he did to Toney was out of this world. Amazing.

    Ward is smart and quick with a good inside game but roy was just too fast

    With RJJ"s reflexes and speed it's hard to imagine anybody beating him in his prime at that weight.

    Ward would be starched by prime Roy. I don't think he'd even fight him to begin with.

    I'm a Ward fan. But, RJJ was just phenomenal in his prime.
