i was lookin at all these lists, they're all trash with or without GGG on it. Fat Dan has Cotton in his top 10 :mjlol:

Ring has a flyweight and Canelo :lolshaq:

Ratings wise GGG is still one of HBO's more popular fighters. Most reasonable people know he hasnt reached the level of superstardom with fans, but either have most fighters.
GGG has built himself up about as much as he can until he fights another mainstream guy...guys who I believe are: JCC, Froch, Cotto, or Canelo. Personally dont believe Ward is in that class either. Both are popular among boxing fans, but dont have the mainstream popularity yet.
Take out Froch and add in Floyd and Manny and there really are just 5 guys who sell beyond just solid ratings for a Showtime or HBO non-PPV in the US.

GGG-Ward would be a huge fight for the die-hard, but underappreciated by the public.
Ward and GGG would want A side money, it would be an A side fight from both sides talent wise. The problem is I dont think it generates A side money.

out of interest, what was the viewership of froch/groves 2 on hbo?

i know it did 80,000 seats in the stadium plus over 1.2million ppv in the UK
