    Let say Brook v Chaves lands on Dec 12th Matchroom card with Joshua v Whyte, and the fights currently being negotiated happen, which of these two is the better card.

    Dec 12:
    Kell Brook v Diego Chaves
    Anthony Joshua v Dillian Whyte
    Chris Eubank Jr v Spike O'Sullivan
    Luke Campbell v Tony Luis

    Tony Bellew and Kevin Mitchell will also be on the card, not heard about opponents yet.

    Dec 19:
    Andy Lee v Billy Joe Saunders
    Liam Smith v Shane Mosley
    Terry Flanagan v Derry Matthews

    Paul Butler & Jack Catterall also on the bill (no opponents yet)

    I'm probably gonna get slaughtered for saying this but in my opinion the December 12th card. Lee vs Saunders is a very good fight, however Smith would beat Mosley easy, as for Flanagan he outbox Matthews will absolute ease. As for the 12th card, as for names it is bigger, as for the fights, I think Brook vs Chaves will be entertaining but maybe not all that competitive, particularly later on in the fight, AJ should beat Whyte comfortably in my opinion, Eubank vs Spike could be a very entertaining fight and build up and one I know many are looking forward to, although one that in my opinion Eubank should come through, Campbell would be in a good step up but in reality its a guy that got beat by Matthews who in reality is no better than Tommy Coyle so Campbell should win that very easily. Bellew rumoured to be in a very big fight for him so either way that will be a world title fight or against a world class fighter and Mitchell will have a 4/5 round job I would have thought. As for Butler on the 19th card I would be surprised to see him taking on anyone near his level as he is still rebuilding, Catterall should have a good step up though.

    I'm probably looking forward to the Dec 12th one more than the 19th, because I'm a bit more invested in Brook & Joshua than anyone fighting on the 19th.

    Not sure which is the better card, although obviously of Brook v Chaves doesn't get added, it's clearly 19th.

    December 12th will be a load of one sided fights, no expects brook, Joshua or eubank to lose, people will be tuning in the hope that Bellew gets sparked out

    Both look a lot better than they actually are.

    Isn't Flanagan off the Dec 19th card now?

    In the press conference Francis ****** said Flanagan would not be fighting until 2016 and has just come back off holiday.

    Both are whopper cards!! December 12th us is definitely a bit better IMO. But I'm looking forward to Dec 19th more cause of Andy Lee v billy Joe saunders

    19th probably better in terms of not being mostly one sided fights.

    Though I'm probably more interested in the 12th (JUST) for the reason Hans mentions

    Andy Lee vs BJS is the best fight of the two cards, however the December the 12th show is the better card overall in terms of match-ups, in my opinion. Though neither are great, if we're being honest.

    That 19th card won't look anything like that. Flanagan isn't fighting and Smith isn't fighting Mosley.

    On the basis I gotta pick 12th

    DEC 12th a better overall card. DEC 19th has the better main event.

    Why not just watch both then it really doesn't matter. That's my plan.
