    Why don't you think Manny v Provo won't happen? It's much more likely than at least half of them on their list.

    Manny would be too scared to take such a dangerous fighter still in his prime without being able to drain him to death

    FMJ vs PAC tops the most wanted fight in boxing this year and they can still make it happen. Beats all fights in all weight classes. People who want to watch boxing have been and are still clamoring for it.

    The only ones I am most excited about are:

    Martinez vs GGG, Rigondeaux vs LSC, Pac vs Mayweather, Maidana vs Matthysse and Kovalev vs Stevenson. Some wont happen because of the TR/HBO and GBP/Showtime feud.

    People are really calling for GGG vs money at middleweight ? That seems crazy

    wow, there are some great fights in the mix there, your right about the boxing politics though a lot of that will see a lot of these bouts not happening. I pick ggg over Martinez, late round (say 9-10) tko or ko, maidana vs. matthysse, that's a fight I really would like to see... a lot of people say matthysse has bin exposed but I would pick matthysse for this one but I suspect it would be nothing short of a brutal bout! some big punches thrown by both men. wilder vs. fury. I pick Tyson fury, I believe with hard training & his heart, & putting 100% into boxing clever he can easily beat deontay wilder & many others in the hw division. he is from a long-line of fighting men & I belive fury is really underestimated. at this moment in time I'd pick rigondeaux over any of his opponents, really excited to see rigondeaux fight this year, fantastic boxer! maidana vs. provodnikov, another fight with the potential to get bloody, I'd pick maidana for this one but I can't see it going to points, although provodnikov is tough, ko round 8 for me. mayweather vs. pacquiao if pacquiao has the same fire within him as he has shown in previous dominant performances in his career I believe he could handle mayweather. there must be a reason why Floyd hasn't fought pacquiao all these years and that's it . I think carl Frampton would best scott quigg, nothing against quigg, but I think Frampton would beat him. froch vs. groves 2... I really want to see this! rematch or retire for froch I believe, I think George will finish this fight as soon as he can if this goes ahead for the 2nd time & I believe froch knows that too. Stevenson vs. kovalev, I would pick kovalev. bellew was talking utter rubbish in the studio last Saturday saying kovalev hasn't faced any big punchers he's bin in with a guy that KOed Stevenson,, and he's faced ismayl sillakh a big puncher so dunno what bellew was on about there. khan vs. broner... I despise broner so silly mayweather wannabe but I think he'd beat khan although I would love to see khan beat him. wlad would smash wilder. Garcia would beat Bradley. theres some great fights in there but many will not go ahead :?

    Well, some of the fights above seem like mismatches to me and would not be competitive at all. IMO the list would be:

    1. Floyd vs Pacman
    2. Martinez vs GGG
    3. Stevenson vs Kovalev
    4. Canelo vs Cotto
    5. Froch vs Groves 2
    6. Wlad vs Pulev
    7. M. Garcia vs Gamboa
    8. Wilder vs Fury
    9. Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko
    10. Provodnikov vs Broner
    11. Floyd vs Bradley
    12. D. Garcia vs Mathisse 2
    13. Ward vs BHop
    14. Lara vs Canelo
    15. Khan vs Brook
    16. Maidana vs Thurman
    17. Huck vs Diablo
    18. Donaire vs Mares
    19. GGG vs Quillin
    20. Arreola vs Chisora

    * special mention to D. Garcia vs Thurman

    And Ruslan was beat by Herrera. I get that Ruslan is a different fighter now than he was then, but the same can be said about Maidana. Since being under Garcia, this version of Maidana is the best we've seen.

    I'd favor Maidana he has some legit wins vs. Ruslan who's career best win is Alvarado.
