    Please stop. Not even you believe that Ward would be the a-side if this fight were to happen. Ward was never a big draw. Nor has he ever had a big following/fanbase. Kov is hot right now and is drawing massive interest from the fans. His latest win over Hopkins made him a household name.

      i didnt say he was gonna be the A side but its not like kov 100% for sure is.. Ward has been on hbo-sho more times, number 2 pfp and got ratings. Getting kos doesnt make you the A side

      if bradley and thurman fought, who would be the A side?

        Boxing is all about "what have you done for me lately" And in Wards case he hasnt done anything! In this sport you must stay relevent.

          Erm..he has just beaten Hopkins, a fighter known all over the world. Ward was known but the super six was three years ago and unless you are a SRL, Oscar, Floyd or Manny then this sports appeal to the wider public is what you create fresh in their memory. That should be friggin obvious, even to a *****id.

            Ancient history and likely to get even older by the time Ward has his next tune up.

              In this case Bradley would be. He's the more relevent fighter and has had more exposure than Thurman. He shared the stage with Pacquiao 2x.

              Bad comparison though. Even when Ward was active he never really created any real buzz accept from the diehard community.

                ok it peaked at 1.4, ward-rodriguez peaked at 1.2.. ward has been showcased alot more. people know him.. and like i said 'excitement' doesnt make you the A side. Its close but kov being the a side isnt some foregone conclusion

                    The fighter who generates more money is the a-side. At this point I dont see how Ward would generate more money than Kovalev.

                      At this point I think Mayorga would be the A-side to Ward. LOL
