    Hearn stated he is looking to make all all HW card in February with Whye, Usyk, Chisora, Allen and the Hunter vs Potvekin winner as all possible fighters.

    What fights would people like to see?

    I'd like to see

    Usyk vs Whyte - The unified CW champ taking a top 3 HW.

    Chisora vs Povetkin & Hunter winner

    Hrgovic vs Bakole - a great 50/50 fight in my opinion.

    Hughie vs Allen - makes sense , Hughie needs a win and Allen would be Hughie's best career win. Allen gets another PPV payday and against a pillow puncher thats not a risk damage to his health.

    I prefer to see a mixture of weights. All HW sounds great on paper but I think it's like any sickly dessert, too much and it starts to tire quickly.

    That said you've picked out some great fights.

    Usyk vs Whyte? nogonnahappen! Usyk is 80% sure up for a vacant WBO strap and IF (very big if) Whyte is cleared to fight at that date, he will not risk his chance on becoming full WBC champ by doing nothing when the WBC "promotes" Wilder to Windmill Franchise champion. Maybe at a later time they might be up for a big money unification fight, but now it doesn't make any sense.

    Hunter vs Chisora is possible.

    He's been saying this for years. I'd love to see it but yeah i guess it could get "samey"

    He's got a pretty decent heavyweight line up so he could do it all in house if he wanted.

    Be great if they’re all matched like you’ve said but more than likely we would get them against puddings (copyright @Jurgen ).

    I’d also worry about putting all the heavies on one big card would be to the detriment of other shows. With them being spread out they can improve the quality of other shows quite easily just because of Knockouts/slugfest entertainment.

    Remember how Hearn's last HW bonanza card turned out?

    Hughie Fury might not be with Hearn by February.

    Are you reffering to Whyte vs Rivas, Chisora vs Takam and Allen vs Webb? I thought that was a very entertaining card.

    I know Hearn was quick to get tid of Ortiz after his poor showing s for Matchroom but I'd be surprised if he gets rid of Hughie that quick.

    Any news on Hughies opponent for the Monaco card?

    Add Michelle McManus v Gemma Collins to the card for the British Beachedwhale Title and you have a true HW bonanza.

    *Whyte-Parker

    It was alright, nothing that great. I'm sure that card started life as Chisora-Parker, Whyte-Povetkin and a couple of other solid HW fights before becoming what it was. Which was decent enough but my point was more not to get excited by any rumours from the off.

    Let's see what happens. Absolutely no desire to watch Fury-Allen though, what a stinker.

    It’s a two fight deal with Hearn with the option of a third fight if all sides wish to progress with the relationship.

    Will Hearn keep him happy in well paid, high profile fights? He’s at best the number three heavyweight in the Matchroom stable level on the same level as Chisora. Any idea who he is fighting in Monaco?

    Needs a big win to keep Hearn on board. That's for sure!
