    I voted Haney/Loma. I feel this is a changing of the guard. This fight is also for all the belts. This is a young Lion vs experienced lion. Does Loma have enough or will Haney be too much. I still think Loma takes it.

    Obviously the most important fight is the undisputed heavyweight fight, I think there would be an argument for Loma Haney if it was a unification fight and not a defense.

    That being said I'm most looking forward to Davis vs Garcia.

    You can argue about 2-5.

    But number one in terms of importance is undoubtedly the one that matches two undefeated heavyweights for all the major belts and the lineal championship in the sport's marquee division, for the first time this century.

    I agree with that, however… I still say Usyk vs Fury is the most important Heavyweight Fight over the last 20 plus years. It’s for ALL the major belts. And whoever wins will be the first HW to hold all 4 major titles at once. But Loma vs Haney is definitely 2nd.

    Lennox was the last to hold The WBC, IBF and WBA with The Ring Belt. But he never won the WBO also. I expect Usyk to accomplish this.

    Let’s hope Beterbiev vs Bivol is made before years end. That is a huge one

    Can't argue with you. Haney/Loma & Fury/Usyk are top notch,A level fights. Skills will be on display for sure. Gonna have to turn in my aluminum cans to cover the PPV expenses for this coming April. LOL

    Most important fight is Fury-Usyk for undisputed at heavyweight.

    The best fight will either be Inoue-Fulton or Davis-Garcia.

    Jake Paul vs Floyd Mayweather.

    Seriously, there is no more important fight than the Undisputed Heavyweight Championship of the world.

    Fury vs Uysk heavyweight undisputed trumps all
    Fulton vs Inoue would be next 2 prime p4p fighters this the type of matchup you dream of.
    Haney vs Loma undisputed defense bs former unified champ
    Plant vs Benavidez fighting for #1 contender at 168


    Tank vs Ryan both these guys been running from the best no title on the line I don’t think Ryan is even ranked currently.. another tank bum of the month fight.

    To be fair Lewis wasn't allowed to hold the WBO at that time. It was considered a subservient title to the big three. But he beat their champion in Akinwande in 97.

    I am curious about this result as I just saw a popular American youtuber saying Usyk v Fury is undoubtedly the most important. But with the caveat that Davis v Garcia is the biggest fight this year; it having sold out in one hour being evidence of his point.

    Is the American audience really going to circle the wagons around a matchup between two lower weight contenders?
