A fight that trancends just the sport of boxing but reaches to the general sports fan and even the public interest. In recent years its been.....Tyson-Spinks, Tyson-Lewis, Mayweather-DeLa Hoya and now Pacquiao-Mayweather. It would have to be built toward a huge event (please don't say Canelo vs Cotto...its not a mega event but is in the for boxing fans category)
Ward coming back and dominating Froch in Nottingham. Because of weight issues moves up and fights Stevenson ( Stevenson was calling Ward out) while Kovalev defeats Beterbiev would set up a big event in my eyes between Ward-Kovalev but in reality Ward has barely any fans and can't make 168 but still won't fight at 175 . It's not a transcending fight but big for fans of boxing.

Stop reading at Ward traveling. Realistic scenario's I think the OP was requesting. :hey Plus a mega event doesn't normally involve someone with the personality of a dustbin.
technologically advanced but physically weak aliens invade and enslave earthlings using powerful robots. their ancient cultural code dictates that if their best (in this case a robot) can be beaten by a man in a challenge of his choice, they grant our freedom and leave peacefully. lb for lb #1 all peds allowed v an alien robot over 12 for the liberation of all mankind. i'd watch.
Superfight? im not so sure..but i can see a scenario where Wilder vs. Joshua could theoretically turn into a super fight. If Wilder were to ice Klit and then have some solid defenses against maybe a jennings, irish cuban, and a couple other american heavy weights. Joshua needs to go through david price, david haye, chisora, a couple solid russians and then take out tyson fury. This scenario could lead to a big heavyweight fight in the Garden or MGM...
Wlder has the best chance of making a huge fight if he's matched carefully, gains a bigger U.S following and gets a fight with Wlad in say 2017.
Oh thanks for clearing this up....thats what I really meant by the thread.... not a trancending the sport mega event but just one for boxing fans.
Canelo-GGG at middleweight. If Canelo beat Cotto and then a proven middleweight such as Lee, Quillin, Geale, etc. And if GGG kept doing what he does but maybe showed some vuneribility/weaknesses. It'd be a huge event for the lineal MW crown and would be popular with casuals too.
