    Happened:

    Rigondeaux-Donaire
    Canelo-Trout
    Chisora-Scott
    Kovalev-Cleverly

    On the menu:

    Mayweather-Canelo
    Haye-Fury
    Marquez-Bradley
    Wlad-Povetkin


    I'm sure I'm missing a lot but this year has been full of fights that I'm genuinely surprised are being signed. 2012 was all posturing and no fruition, 2013 has been very good for megafights.

    Feel free to post yours.

    I was going to put this one on, but I wasn't so much surprised as I was happy to see this fight being made. Both guys have made a name for themselves as tough mother****ers who hit hard and still have pretty good boxing skills.

    Alvarado has no dancing partner, and Provodnikov is eager to prove that he really won the Bradley fight by getting right back in there. It makes sense from an action and money standpoint, so not so surprising.

    Should be one hell of a fight :bbb:bbb:bbb

    I was surprised that Cleverly took the Kovalev fight.
    Many people did not Think Floyd would fight Alvarez
    Price going for seconds against Thompson really shocked me(big no no to rematch a guy that KO you so soon)

    I was surprised it went through too, tbh.

    But thinking back on it now, Danny was what, 5-1 underdog against Khan? If he'll walk into those odds no problem then it makes more sense.

    Alvarez/Trout

    Void was afraid to fight Trout, but Alvarez took a chance and fought him, actually beat him to my surprise, which was no easy task...........

    I thought Canelo would lose too, before and during the fight.

    He did not look good in that fight. It could have been scored the other way easily. So it's not exactly like you were wrong.. just should have put more stock in high profile fighters not losing close rounds.

    Suprised Floyd is fighting Canelo.
    Reality though is that Showtime forced his hand after bad PPV numbers in the Guerrero fight or Mayweather vs Canelo would not be happening this month. :yep

    Matthysse vs Garcia - thought some bull**** would happen to make it not happen

    Stevenson vs Cloud - Stevenson is risking a big money fight by taking on Cloud, he shoulda waited for Hopkins or a Dawson rematch
