Ward/Kovalev 2...who wins?

[erics44]

@Fenster usually the bigger fighter is the better fighter, and no we don't know if Floyd could beat wlad, just like we don't know if mcgreggor could beat Floyd

but not knowing isn't the same as Floyd or ward or whoever being put as the best fighter in the world when then most likely situation is that they aren't and not by a long way

@Primo Carnera do I fuck

Ok , just curious. Because apart from the safety aspect (which admittedly is a huge priority) if the big guys generally are the best, they should be able to prove that by beating all
comers, thus generating the income that they deserve for being the best, no?

are you asking if the bigger men deserve more money?

I definitely look forward to a good HW fight more than I do any other weight, I am more willing to part with my money, although those are general statements, there are a lot of aspects to consider

I'm not sure if everyone else feels the same way, although top HWs in the past probably earn more in general

and I think in history the HW division is the most fondly remembered, and rightly so

but again it tends to be where the Americans are, particularly for us English speakers

In answer to the question in the first sentence, the answer is no.
But I believe the best should earn the most. I know that's a bit idealistic and things like watchability come into it.
But going on that basis and using your theory, Dillian Whyte should conceivably earn more than Mayweather, Because he could probably beat him in a fight .
Would you venture an opinion on that please?

But I believe the best should earn the most. the best lb4lb or the best?

Do the best earn more? well In general, over history, the heavies earn more than the lower weights for what ever reason

but the earning power of fighters is dependent on a lot more than their weight

Comparing whyte to mayweather tho, ive not watched a mayweather fight since OLH and enjoyed it, in fact I don't think ive sat one out since hatton

id gladly pay more to watch whyte than mayweather for entertainment value

and mayweather was in the right place at the right time, yeah he sells himself in a way that attracts audiences, but he was the only elite American at the time and his fighting style and weight was almost irrelevant
