    100 boxinginsider staff members were asked to compose a list of 10 match ups
    We could realistically see in the 2015-2016 calendar years with FOTD POTENTIAL then
    1500 boxinginsider subscribers who have maintained a 10 year subscription were asked to
    Vote on a 0-10 scale whether they believed the proposed match did indeed have FOTD
    POTENTIAL 0 = NOT LIKELY 10 = ABSOLUTELY out of the 1500 subscribers asked to
    participate 1286 did so and the list bellow is the outcome.
    NOTE:(list is in no particular order)

    MARCOS MAIDANA vs. SHAWN PORTER @ 147lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD

    JERMALL CHARLO VS. LAMONT PETERSON @ 147lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD

    DANIEL JACOBS VS. CANELO ALVAREZ @ 154lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD

    DEMETRIUS ANDRADE vs. PETER QUILLIN @ 154lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD

    KEITH THURMAN vs. MATT KOROBOV @ 154lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD

    OMAR FIGUEROA vs. TERENCE CRAWFORD @ 135lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD

    SERGIO THOMPSON vs. JESSIE VARGAS @ 135lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD

    RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV vs. TAKASHI UCHIYAMA @ 135lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD

    ADRIEN BRONER vs. ZAB JUDAH @ 140lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD

    ANTHONY DIRRELL vs. RAKHIM CHAKHKIEV @ 175 = POTENTIOAL FOTD

    WHAT SAYS YOU?

    I like MARCOS MAIDANA vs. SHAWN PORTER as a FOTD candidate

    aswell as ADRIEN BRONER vs. ZAB JUDAH

    rest of the fights are interesting to me but don't scream FOTN let alone FOTD

    Most of them aren't even in the right weight class

    JERMALL CHARLO VS. LAMONT PETERSON @ 147lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD -Charlo is a big lightmiddle

    DANIEL JACOBS VS. CANELO ALVAREZ @ 154lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD- Jacobs is a big middle

    DEMETRIUS ANDRADE vs. PETER QUILLIN @ 154lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD- Quillin is a big middle

    KEITH THURMAN vs. MATT KOROBOV @ 154lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD- Korobov is a big middle


    SERGIO THOMPSON vs. JESSIE VARGAS @ 135lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD- Vargas is a big light welter

    RUSLAN PROVODNIKOV vs. TAKASHI UCHIYAMA @ 135lb = POTENTIOAL FOTD- Provodnikov is a big light welter


    ANTHONY DIRRELL vs. RAKHIM CHAKHKIEV @ 175 = POTENTIOAL FOTD- Chakhkiev is a cruiser.

    Kinda of funny that the two top P4P guys, 'Money' and Pac, aren't forecasted to be in a potential FOTY.

    Actually, that's really just a sad summation of the sport of boxing today....

    AND Dirrell is @ 168 which accounts for the @ 175 "catch Weight"

    cant u see how that is fair for both guys DIRRELL has to gain a massive 7 lbs while CHAKHKIEV only has to lose a meager 25lbs <<SARCASM
    every time they put out a list like this there is always at least 1 that makes me :?

    MARCOS MAIDANA vs. SHAWN PORTER N E ONE? out of all of the fights listed I for one really like this one not as a potential FOTD but IMHO it has a good shoot at FOTY what says you?

    Kaneko Vs Jomthong @ 130 is signed and sealed, that has potential FOTY written all over it.
