    November - Ward vs Kovelev
    December - AJ vs ???
    January - Degale vs Jack + Cruz vs Frampton
    March - Garcia vs Thurman

    At least one big fight a month for the next few months - who said boxing was dead?

    Thurman Garcia is a great fight.

    Winner should face Bradley.

    Then with Khan and Spence, plus Porter and a returning Pacquaio this division s s really alive.

    Not to mention if Brook stays at WW.

    How is the division "really alive" if the top guys are not really facing each other?
    Brook and Khan might not ever return to 147.
    Bradley has been thinking about retirement.
    Thurman vs. Garcia is happening.
    And Pacquiao is coming back to fight Vargas.
    There are a lot of good fighters, but not much is going on.

    Well Thurman v Garcia is happening. Two it'll holders unifying.

    Pacquiao v Vargas is happening. A former champion vs a current title holder.

    Spence v Porter is likely to happen for the vacant IBF.

    Khan will no doubt have a big fight when he returns from injury.

    Bradley has nothing in the pipeline but that could change any time now. I wouldn't be surprised to see him v Brook at 154 or him v Cotto at 154.

    It's just HW boxing that needs to find its pulse. There are good fights coming up south of the division.

    Kovalev-Ward

    Loma-Walters

    Lebedev-Gassiev

    Degale-Jack


    All of these are also noteworthy. Also highly interested in Shabranskyy-Barrera.

    Khan has no choice but to return back to 147 , he cant move up to 154 due to his chin .

    Brook should definitely move up and begin his greatness .

    Bradley has a few good fights left in him IMO . He's not completely done .

    Thurman is going to give the boxing world what we all want to see and finally put DSG out of his misery . So that's good to hear .

    Speaking for myself, the night this fight occurs DSG will win back some respect and maybe a great deal of it depending on how the fight goes.

    Props in advance, Danny.

    DSG wouldn't take the fight unless he knew he could do it. I've never been a major fan of one time but I'm guessing he'll be favourite for most people
