    9 april : Golovkin vs Murata
    16 april : Spence vs Ugas
    23 april : Fury vs Whyte
    30 april : Valdez vs Stevenson
    7 may : Bivol vs Canelo
    14 may : Charlo vs Castano II
    21 may : Benavidez vs Lemieux
    28 may : Davis vs Romero
    5 june : certainly Kambosos vs Haney
    7 june : Inoue vs Donaire II

    It will more likely be added Beterbiev vs Smith and Usyk vs Joshua II.
    Even if one or two posters will surely be canceled for Covid or injury, it's exceptional.

    5 very good fights there.

    The rest are ok.

    Dont know but very muxh doubt in the 120+ Year history there wasnt a greater quarter.
    Robinson and LaMotta fought twice in 3 weeks.

    Golovkin vs Murata - Okay, GGG rightfully favorite.
    Spence vs Ugas - Meh mandatory, Spence rightful favorite.
    Fury vs Whyte - Meh mandatory, Fury squash job.
    Valdez vs Stevenson - Valdez won't lay a glove on Shakur, borefest.
    Bivol vs Canelo - Solid very interesting matchup. Beterbiev would've been preferable
    Charlo vs Castano II - Shouldn't have been necessary Castao was the clear winner. Good match though.
    Benavidez vs Lemieux - Squash job stay busy, meh.
    Davis vs Romero - Romero is trash, another squash job.
    Kambosos vs Haney - Solid genuinely interesting competitive matchup.
    Inoue vs Donaire II - Needless rematch, but will certainly be fun.


    Nah.... not quite.

    Ggg vs Murata - two inactive 35-40yos going at it (it'll be fun watch I'll give it that)

    Spence vs Ugas - two hyped weight bullies going at it. Ugas is shite too

    Fury vs Whyte - this should be a great watch unless Fury revert to a Wlad like performance

    Valdez vs Stevenson - good fight but basically.. Kindaish.. Two prospects really

    Bivol Canelo - it's going to be a fixed fight boring sparring affair like Canelo's fights against Kova, Yildrim, Smith, and Plant. Canelo literally hasnt had an enjoyable to watch fight since GGG 2

    Charlo Castano - good fight

    Benavidez vs Lemieux - really? Joke fight Lemieux basically washed.

    Davis vs Romero - unproven weight bully vs guy whose technique looks like he's been boxing 4 weeks tops.

    Kambosos Haney - should be a good fight


    Inoue Donaire - this will no doubt be entertaining but Donakre is at the wrong end of 30

    There are some certainly entertaining match ups in the coming months but what you've said is bit of a stretch

    I doubt that it is the greatest quarter ever, but it sure will be fun.

    If anyone would like an example of how fickle and difficult to please boxing fans are, just take a look at the other comments in this thread!

    It's a hell of a lineup. Boxing has had some high highs in the past few years (mostly heavyweights) but there hasn't been a lot in-between. We deserve this.

    It looks better than it is becuase we're coming off arguably the worst quarter in boxing history where old man Ortiz beating Prince Chuckles was the highlight.

    I think it looks very good. Boxing matchups arent where they were even just ten years ago (which wasnt where they were ten years before that) so as the above poster said, it is much needed.

    Are you really seeing the best they have to offer if they only have 3 weeks between fights?

    Robinson actually took a tune up in between the two LaMotta fights:).
    That’s how it was,guys fought more often,had short camps and were in good shape year round barring any injuries.

    It doesn't matter if you are in shape year round or not. That isn't exactly an uncommon thing. You aren't going to be able to give the best you have to offer if you don't give your body time to recover.
