    All of them pretty much, except the boring ones. I like the power punchers so i would love GGG,Lucas,Maidana etc to come over and entertain the fans.

    I wander what has happened with the "Golden Boy UK" concept? when they announced it they were going on like they were going to have stacked cards every few months with plenty of foreign fighters coming over but upto now they have only done the Khan-Diaz card in Sheffield.

    I know its never going to happen but I would love to see Ward come over for the Froch rematch and see how fighting away from home in a hostile atmosphere would effect his performance.

    There's a lot of them... certainly a bunch of Americans who never have even fought abroad.

    I'm very curious how they would do, because mostly the big name Americans only go overseas when they're old and used as record padding cannon fodder for young upcoming fighters.

    do you know when they brought American football to London not long ago most of the players didnt even have passports?!?!?!?

    well they idid when they travelled but not when the decision was made to come over here.... so i dont think the Yanks feel the need to leave USA

    I'm sure everyone wants to see Floyd fight in the UK. I'd also love to see how Wladimir Klitschko deals with a taller heavyweight e.g Tyson Fury in the UK.

    Mayweather and Golovkin are my two favourite fighters, so them.

    To see Mayweather live would be something special. Would love to see Sergio Martinez also.

    I'd pay good money to see a Ward vs Froch rematch in the UK.

    Froch VS Ward rematch, I cant understand why Froch went over there in the first place if the fight was in Britain Froch would have probably won, Froch did Ward a massive favour going over there for that fight it was stupid I don't know why he thought it would be a good idea when they would have got a bigger crowd in Britain anyway.

    Rigo vs Frampton in a stadium in Ireland would be amazing in 18 months time
