    Canelo vs Jacobs was good, but it doesn't qualify for me. Jacobs has had an up and down career (KTFO by Pirog) and not really achieved much.

    My Huge fights list:
    Joshua/Wilder/Fury/Usyk facing one another
    Bivol/Kovalev/Beterbiev/Gvozdyk facing one another
    Smith/Benavidez/Ramirez facing one another
    Canelo vs Golovkin 3
    Spence vs Crawford
    Lomachenko vs Davis

    If I'm being real honest, whilst I feel all the guys I listed at Light Heavy and Super middle are very talented guys, they probably don't qualify as a 'huge fight' anyway.

    Taylor vs Prograis
    AJ vs Usyk
    Canelo vs Andrade

    Hearn hinted that Jacobs might move up so so Jacobs vs Smith a possiblity.

    As much as I don't care for it personally, Mayweather vs Pacquiao II would be a huge fight.

    Joshua V Usyk is certainly gonna happen within a year from now , depending on Usyk ability at HW . Remember it is possible Takam can break Usyk and show Usyk is not a HW boxer , unlikely but possible .

    Joshua V Fury is another possible fight in the year . Depends if Fury feels he is ready .

    Wilder V Whyte is another tho unlikely fight . Again depends if Wilder actually wants to fight decent level fighters .

    Joshua V Pulev is another fight , Joshua has his mandatorys coming up so I expect some busy fights from him .

    Whyte V Rivas is a great fight honestly , possibly fight of the year in the making so far .

    Chisora V Povetkin both still got something to give the HW division and both solid wins for each other .

    Dubois V Joyce unlikely but a good British HW slugfest .

    I would like to see Kownacki V Martin that would be a telling fight and a good American boxing fight .

    Usyk V Takam a solid level entry fight in the HW for Usyk one that can tell if he can fight at HW . Not to be taken lightly and one that will prove a lot , Takam is no pushover .

    Honestly loads of great HW fights coming and to be made this year , it's only Wilder holding the division back and slowing everything down . What is Wilder's next opponents (depending if he can get through Breazeale) we got an Ortiz rematch (Urgh!) and Kownacki (nothing special) certainly nothing to get eyes focused from the other fights . I can see Wilder and possibly Tyson Fury getting drowned this year by other HW fights . Usyk V Takam is better than Fury V Schwartz and Wilder V Ortiz again .

    Wilder v Usyk
    Wilder v Whyte
    Wilder v anyone who will fight back would be good lol or has AJ got to do it first as always.

    He said jacobs is on the slide so that's not a big fight for him

    I’m actually coming round to the thought that Callum Smith might prove be the biggest and most dangerous challenge for Canelo than either GGG or Andrade.

    Joshua vs. Wilder — no. Maybe Wilder vs. Fury. But that's a big maybe. And Fury is even talking about retiring again.
    Well, Joshua vs. Usyk is somewhat possible.
    Beterbiev vs. Kovalev is quite realistic (if Kovalev beats Yarde, that is). Maybe even Beterbiev vs Gvozdyk.
    Canelo vs. Golovkin is somewhat possible.
    Spence vs. Crawford — no.
    Lomachenko vs. Davis — no.

    I think this year will be summed up by Price v Allen being one of the highlights
