When we say an arguement is only based upon the words of two persons. Do we use
1 "One word against the other" or
2 "One's word against the other".
The second one seems more correct grammatically but i found both are used so much in the Internet.
Any help pls!
Thanks in advance!

Beware the Internet, my son,
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch.
These are acceptable:
'It's his word against mine.'
'It's their word against the Pope's.'
'One's word against another.'
