    Allow me to shamelessly steal a topic from Skysports, however I thought it was quite interesting to listen to Bellews and Froch's ideal fights that they'd like to see in 2017

    Bellew's

    Wilder vs Joshua
    Canelo vs GGG
    Khan vs Brook

    Froch

    GGG vs Ward
    Degale vs Callum Smith
    Joshua vs Tyson Fury

    For me I'd like to see

    Kovalev rematch Ward
    Lomachenko vs Frampton
    Khan vs Garcia
    Parker vs Hughie Fury
    Eroll Spence vs Keith Thurman or Kell Brook
    Joshua vs Tyson Fury
    Wilder vs Ortiz
    GGG vs Canelo
    Saunders vs Eubank Jr

    The point isnt to nitpick regarding the likelihood of fights occurring, but to post what fights you'd like to ideally see this year, since in boxing it's pot luck these days of credible fighters stepping in the ring with a live body.

    1) Floyd gets goaded into Triple G fight at 160.

    2) Kovalev v.s Ward rematch

    3) Ward decides to bypass Sergey rematch and makes that moves to HW and fights Wladimir for the title and "Dares to be great" :devil-flip:

    4) Usyk v.s Joshua

    5) Povetkin v.s Wilder FINALLY

    6) Beterbiev v.s Stevenson

    Any combo of

    AJ/Wilder/Haye/Tyson Fury could add Parker too

    Any combo of Usyk/Gassiev/Breidis

    Stevenson vs Ward and Kovalev

    CEJ vs GGG/Degale/Groves/BJS/Brook just to see Brook get a thrashing

    Any combo of Andrade/Canelo/Jermall

    Khan vs Garcia 2

    Brook vs Spence and Jarrett Hurd

    GGG vs Ward/Kovalev/Degale/Jack

    Mayweather vs GGG at MW (as Todd suggested)
    Canelo vs GGG
    Gonzalez vs Inoue
    Estrada vs Cuadras
    Mayweather vs Pacquiao II (as long as Pac is willing to get KO'd trying to beat Mayweather, like the old days)
    Pacquiao vs Crawford (at 140)
    Lomachenko vs Salido II and Gamboa
    Beterbiev vs Stevenson, Ward and Kovalev
    Povetkin vs Wilder
    AJ vs Haye
    AJ vs Fury
    Khan vs Brook and Garcia II
    Broner vs Crawford
    Crawford vs Top Welterweights.
    Rigondeaux vs Yamanaka
    Usyk vs Briedis and Gassiev
    Spence vs Brook and Thurman

    There are a lot of good fights that can be made. I wonder if they happen this year.

    I genuinely forgot all about Haye

    I'd like to see him fight Klitsckho again in actual fact for 2017.

    Why would you want to see Floyd vs a giant like GGG?

    Floyd has been retired for years now and will be 40+, its a farce of a fight

    GGG should fight someone his own size, he's a typical bully and as soon as he fights someone who punches back he's in for a rude awakening

    I hope he stays undefeated until he fights CEJ

    Unfortunately, CEJ will be too busy cleaning out the useless padded records at domestic scene until GGG retires.
