Kovalev v Ward Who is the A-side now?

[cantor5150]

For Ward is the best fighter, but if they fight at 175lbs then Kov should be the A side on the promotion bill (not money wise since he is making less then Ward), if at 168lb then Ward is, if at a catch weight Ward should be he has good ratings, #2 p4p and the linel champ at 168lb which Kov is still not the lineal champ, but all this could change soon I am saying this would apply if the fight is signed today.

Ward is not known by the average boxing fans here in America... After this weekend kovalev has surpassed wards popularity but then again ward was barely known to begin with...

Ward is for beating the better competition. Ward has beaten Froch, Kessler, Abraham. Kovalev has beaten just Hopkins. Though Hopkins is better than Froch, Kessler, and Abraham, Hopkins is one person

the name hopkins is worth more than froch, kessler, and abraham.

Why is Kov making less money when he is the star, so to speak?

[Scipio2009]

Surely its Kovalev now. Ward has done nothing to stay relevant in three years and is largely regarded as boring as mud to watch. Kovalev on the other hand is damn good to watch and has just pitched a dominant shutout over a guy nobody has come remotely close to doing that to.

Ward fans have been hiding behind that whole a-side excuse and have tried to apply it to the concept of him fighting both Kovalev and GGG, insisting laughably that these two busier, equally well known and more relevant fighters, should go to him in a division he has already cleaned out. I can kind of see that argument for GGG, but for Kovalev its just dumb.

Thoughts?

Will be based on how much money Hopkins-Kovalev actually ended up bringing in and at what weight the fight will be fought at. And also how much money HBO is willing to put up for the fight.

Kovalev has three belts at light heavyweight (though not the lineal championship) and Ward is the lineal champ at 168, and p4p #2 fighter on Earth.

Not any more. He has done nothing in the last three years to consolidate that position.

I think they like Bhop for the clinching
I think they like Mayweather for the cowardice
