    ATM boxing is in a lull. But I'd like to see Tank Davis vs Lomachenko.

    That would be a viable match up. I'd pay $2500 US Dollars for a ticket to that one.

    Of those currently fighting in the same weight class, I would take Jai Opetaia against David Benavidez. My second choice would be Boots Ennis versus Vergel Ortiz Jr.

    Of those not currently in the same way class I would go with Devin Haney taking on Shakur Stevenson, and, of course, Bam Rodriguez versus Naoya Inoue.

    If we going not in the same weight class I would love to see Devin Haney fight Moses Itauma, what a glorious day that would be.

    Opetaia vs Benavidez
    Nikita Tszyu vs Murtazaliev (in two years)
    Opetaia vs Billam-Smith (to shut him up)
    Junior Green vs Junior Mundine (about 5 yrs) Crawford vs whoever Zuffa match him with
    Verhoeven vs anyone good
    Teremoana vs Itauma
    Justis vs Leutele II
    Lots more, but that will do.

    I get those thoughts too, such a shame size is so impactful.

    I think it's a temporary lull NC, there are some good ones coming, and Opetaia/Benavidez is being built into a mega event.
