    If the rematch goes ahead I think it could be the greatest boxing event ever staged in Britain, there are real possibilities this could be the card with the way hearn has been hinting in recent interviews, obviously some depend on results within the next couple of months and the fury vs Joshua I don't agree with but hearn does! but all the below could happen to provide an amazing night

    Froch vs groves 2
    Brook vs porter
    Burns vs Vasquez
    Joshua vs T Fury
    Mitchell vs crolla


    what other fights could you add?

    Tyson Fury not a hope he will fight Joshua more chance of Hughie besides what has Anthony done to deserve a fight with a top 5 HW in the world nothing.
    No way will Hearn put his hands in his pocket to make that type of undercard. At a stretch maybe one of either Burns Vazquez or Brook Porter for the undercard but i doubt it. Remember Hearn is the guy who told us Froch vs Groves 1 would have a stacked and ridiculous undercard and remember it was a shocking card. Hearn is full of **** if the rematch goes ahead i'd imagine it will be another crap undercard

    Yeah I totally agree about Joshua but hearn has been saying it, I thibk fury would destroy him if they fought, but he seems to think Joshua is really special

    Joshua just needs to develop. It's too early for him to fight Fury.

    3 years down the line and he will be better than Fury ever was.

    Joshua v Tyson Fury 4 fights down in May! Come on that just isn't realistic. Joshua v Hughie possibly.
    Froch v Groves 2
    Burns v Vasquez
    Bellew v Fragomeni (WBC Eliminator)
    Mitchell v Molina (IBF Eliminator)
    Joshua v H Fury (British Title)

    That's probably unrealistic still but that's about as big as it could be

    Yeah he thinks he is special which is why it appears crystal clear to me he doesn't actually rate a guy like Brook he talks about throwing Anthony in deep but having Brook fight nobodies clearly shows to me who he thinks is world level and who isn't.

    Yeah very true, but I guess the heavyweight division is really poor at the moment

    Hughie isn't well enough known by the general public to be in there with Joshua. Us fight fans would like to see it but, atm, it financially wouldn't make sence for either man.

    Give it a year and that fight will be a big one.

    Fury sparred Joshua and got stood on his head.Fury said as much himself in an interview. He was raving about how Joshua was the future.

    Hearn would be mad to put on an undercard like that.

    Second won't top Hatton vs Mayweather that was the biggest fight in British boxing history probably. Still if you asked 10 people in the street who Froch is how many will know ask people around the Hatton Mayweather fight who hatton was 9 likely know.

    I went to both the fights in the biggest week in modern British boxing: Benn/EubankII and Bruno/Lewis.

    There is nothing at the moment that I can think will top that...

    also Burns Vasquez is a headline event in Scotland why would Hearn give that away on an undercard?
