    So it looks like we are getting AJ vs Parker in March. Now that Fury is almost back in the fold (once he gets back to fighting weight), along with Ortiz coming back,

    What are you preferred match-ups? let's forget about the politics for now.

    For me AJ vs Parker and Wilder vs Ortiz in the spring and then the winners square off in the summer to make the first real unified HW champ since the great Lennox Lewis.

    By this time hopefully Fury is back to fighting fitness and can challenge the winner after a tune-up (David Price).

    Obviously I am a AJ fan so I think he becomes the unified champ and then battles out a close but clear victory vs Fury (this opinion can change easily with up coming performances). I still think Wilder is going to find any excuse to not fight anyone, even AJ, I think he will try to retire with a perfect fraudulent 0 losses record against bums.

    I think AJ will overpower Parker in the later rounds, thee both have suspect tanks, but AJ's size will diminish Parker's resistance around rd 9 or 10. His straight punches will counter Wilder all day long, or when they get in close his in game will dismantle Wilder (who has NO inside game). I also believe that if they were to fight in England the hostile atmosphere will rattle Wilder who is used to his home town knuckle dragging fans, and therefore allowing AJ to capitalize. AJ vs Fury is a tricky one - Fury is mobile, solid technician but he can be hit and has been hit before. But then again Fury has the skills and size to cause any heavyweight problems.

    Could be a big year for Heavyweight boxing in 2018.

    What would you like to see? what do you think will happen?

    Joshua parker

    Joshua wilder (most anticipated matchup )

    Parker wilder

    Ortiz wilder

    Ortiz Joshua

    Basically any matching between those four top undefeated fighters

    To hell with seeing that drug-addicted, mentally-unstable clown, Tyson fury

    1 ) AJ vs Parker.

    2 ) Wilder vs Povetkin.

    ^^ Ortiz vs Pulev, winner to fight for the above winners.

    Fury vs a top 20 guy, then to fight one of the champions.

    That would be a top year for 2018. The talent level among the current top ten is very thin.

    Yet you don't mind Ortiz who has also been busted for peds? How odd.

    Bogdan Dinu vs Significant Opponent. BD is almost past his peak. It's a shame if he rots on the vine.

    2 - AJ vs Fury
    3 - Wilder vs Fury


    Ortiz probably ruins all of this.
