    If Fury beats Wilder in convincing fashion, this would likely be the biggest fight in world boxing. Barring unlikely bouts such as GGG vs Canelo 3, May-Pac 2, or Pacman vs Canelo.

    Loma vs Lopez =No
    Spence vs Crawford = No (sadly)
    Canelo vs anyone not named GGG = No, however Canelo would have the best chance.

    Am i overlooking some big earners? I could be.

    Would Canelo GGG 3 be legit bigger?

    I wouldn`t personally be interested in Canelo v Manny at 154.

    AJ vs the winner of Wilder Fury is the biggest fight in boxing. Would have been bigger if AJ was still unbeaten but at least he bounced back.

    The biggest fight in World Boxing and for Britain a ready made replacement for the bitter divisiveness of the Brexit debate.

    Instead of being labelled and sneered at for being a remainer or a leaver, the nation will split down the binary line of whether you want Fury or AJ to win. Every single street will have at least one PPV.

    Of course it will.

    Canelo and GGG are both much bigger names than AJ and Fury. People barely know AJ and Fury outside the UK.

    If Fury walked down a street in New York they would think he was a circus freak and AJ they wouldn't even notice.

    Fantasy fight any way because Wilder is going to decapitate Fury

    If you fetishise heavyweights maybe, but I would imagine among genuine boxing fans in the UK this still would fall a bit short of Froch vs. Groves tbh.

    I happen to think Wilder wins too but hardly out of the realm for Fury to outbox him and not be put away - like last time.

    AJ v Wilder/Fury is far bigger than Canelo GGG 3

    It would be a size mismatch, but you better believe it would be an absolute blockbuster

    Fair dos. I had no idea GGG had more global and money-making appeal than AJ. I'm a brit so AJ's sponsorship's etc are rammed down our throats 24/7. Not that I blame him one bit. His social media is also incredibly well supported.

    He doesn't... lol

    I was at Canelo vs GGG2 in T-Mobile Arena and I've also been to a Joshua fight too. Canelo and AJ are close but Golovkin is no where near.
