    Pick five fights that you would like to see most in 2017.

    Imagine you are a multi-billionaire and want to give boxing fans all over the world some nice presents to make up for a dismal 2016. With enough money, of course, any fight can be made, even if it isn't likely. So fire away!

    GGG v Canelo
    Gonzalez v Estrada II (or Inoue)
    AJ v Wlad
    Brook v Spence
    Thurman v Garcia

    All fairly predictable but I'm a simple man. These would all help clean up their respective decisions and are fan-friendly with a good clash of styles. That'll do me.
