    Joshua-Fury would be the biggest fight in boxing.

    Ray Leonard wasn`t as good in his three fights at light middle compared to 147lbs, he was slightly slower, Duran who was a natural lightweight was great against Palomino and Ray at welter but was slower at light middle and only gave one good performance at that weight, Don Curry didn`t do well at light middle, if you watch the McCallum fight again he was getting caught far more than he did pre Honeyghan, sometimes fighters aren`t the same when they move up, their KO ratio often lessens, the reach they fight against is sometimes too long at the bigger weight and you don`t know if they can take the bigger shots that will come their way, if Spence has a reach as long as his opponents he might do well, you can`t tell until a fighter moves up.

    I don`t know if Fury is bigger than Wilder but it may be a bigger fight in the UK, in America the Wilder v AJ fight would be much bigger.

    All good points
    But the last sentence is why chose the two
    Imo i think Spence is pretty capable we think it he works hard i imagine to keep the weight stable
    Still want to see it

    For me it is Canelo GGG 2. Out of the 2 choices that is. Im just not feeling it for Pacquiao any more, ive felt he should of retired after he didnt get the Floyd rematch. I dont know what weight they would be willing to meet at but Lomo against Manny of 5 to 10 years ago yes, Lomo vs this Manny. Not for me.

    Pac/Loma is more of a fans fight than a blockbuster. Lomachenko doesn’t have much of a profile outside hardcore fans and Pac doesn’t have the same appeal he once had. I would go with Canelo/GGG 2 as it is a bit more spicy now since the drugs scandal.

    Otherwise it’s Joshua/Wilder, because it’s the blue riband division and would be for the undisputed championship between two undefeated bangers. It will be a marketeers dream and attract casual fans worldwide.

    There aren’t that many fights that would attract the public imagination these days.

    The BIGGEST fight is definitely Golovkin-Alvarez II.

    But as far as best fight, it would probably be Crawford-Spence (or either vs. Thurman) or Lomachenko-Garcia.

    You mean right now? It's definitely AJ vs Wilder.
    And to prove it: just ask yourself how many random people know about AJ and Wilder and how many know about canelo and golovkin, cause in my country like 1 % knows who the **** canelo is.

    That's the impression I get as well. Joshua-Wilder.

    I'm not convinced it would be so massive.

    It has to be Joshua-Wilder.

    Take a look at the amount of discussion about it on this forum. It dominates the board day after day.

    In my country (England) about 1% of the population know who Wilder is!
