What makes you the A Side?

[BrometheusBob.]

You keep on with your lists.

I'll go by actual fights made, and in ring performance.

Glad we had this talk.

Have a good day.

Dafuq do you think the ratings come from? My bad, you're right, 20 KOs back to back and never being in a close fight with reasonable contenders count for zilch as far as "actual fights" and "in ring performance" is concerned. Glad you clarified that for me.

[-PBP-]

Oh shi*. Golovkin vs Sweet Pea in an all out war.

I just gave you two names that separate the two.

It really isn't that hard to figure out.

Since you like lists so much, here is one that while I don't necessarily agree with in terms of placement, place Kovalev higher.

Lists are just that. Lists.

GGG has nothing on his resume to have him ahead of Kovalev, in my mind. Much less several spots ahead.

Nah.

I think both guys are top 10 worthy. I like both.

I'm not a list maker, but if I was, I'd have Kovalev rated higher then GGG.

All I'm saying.

Estrada > Kovalev and GGG doe? Lol shrug. Can't lie though, Kovalevs a monster and I'll agree that Pascal and even old ass BHop were better victories individually than any of GGGs. Don't think they eclipse GGGs consistent brutal destruction of somewhat less solid opposition.. but we can agree to disagree.

Right on.

Glad we could shake penises like two adult men, and sort it out.

Ward only fell out of being p4p #2 due to inactivity; the moment that he gets active again, and continues to look like the Andre Ward that got him rated , there's no reason why he shouldn't be put back into the spot he was before being taken down by inactivity.

Yeah but if that activity is against Paul Smith style bums then he doesn't deserve to be in there...boxing has moved on in the last 19 months. GGG, Kovalev, Gonzalez and co all have better claim being in the p4p. But Ward still probably gets ranked back in...which just goes to show you how ridiculous p4p rankings can be.

Paul Smith (two-time world title challenger) was a better opponent than basically every fight on Golovkin's resume, and his rise up the p4p list hasn't been hampered much by the **** competition.

Just keen to see people's opinions on this?

Seeing as GGG has acclaimed himself the A side vs Ward? . . . But has he even earned the right to do so yet?
He has higher viewing numbers I think (correct me if I'm wrong) but has accomplished less. So who is the A side and what makes them that?. . . I know there's some obvious answers to this, but let's just have a discussion for the sake of it.

A side is all about how many seats you fill. Ratings popularity it has nothing to do with skill. GGG is a side when it comes to Ward easy. Put him against Froch in the UK and he becomes b side. Against Cotto and Canelo he is b side. Ward is only a side against the scrubs of the world. Against kovo it's pretty even

It's not about resumes it's about who brings in more revenue. Resume is probably the last thing that is looked at
