    What are some fights you would like to see made that may not be on everyone's radar but you would like to see made because you find them interesting or for whatever reason? Here's some of mine.

    Broner v Figuroa
    George Kambosos v Ricky Burns
    Lipinets v Prograis
    Lucas Browne v David Price
    Brook v Horn at 154
    Jermall Charlo v Sulecki

    Eubank Jr vs Kell Brook @ 168lbs

    Would be entertaining while it lasted and a bit of a grudge element to it

    135 imo. has great match ups.

    teofimo lopez vs ryan garcia
    or teofimo lopez vs devin haney
    or devin haney vs ryan garcia

    those are under the radar fights that arent money fight right now. but down the line these could be some huge fights.

    Either beat Ryan Garcia so you won’t see those anytime.

    How is Browne versus Price not a blockbuster?
    Browne has disrespected Price and Price is very angry about it. It's hard to make Price angry and he wants to viciously KO Browne.
    Browne is very angry that Hatton Promotions wouldn't secure a mascara sponsorship for him and he wants to take it out on Price, a naturally more handsome man.
    From the opening bell this will be edge of the seat drama, two massive punchers one connect away from ending the show, and somebody is getting cold KO'd by the end.
    Price has the better skills, Browne has the better engine. As for chin, I give the edge to Price. Browne getting KO'd by Chisora in sparring is a bit strange.

    • Jose Pedraza vs Alberto Machado (intelect fight of two ex-champions)
    • Rob Brant vs Jermall Charlo (battle between underrated vs overrated, is it so..?)
    • Naoya Inoue vs Nonito Donaire (it's surely a blockbuster, but... :D)
    • Yuriorkis Gamboa vs Javier Fortuna (total football...eh sorry I mean total boxing, all offense, no defense :p)

    Allen, Browne, Gashi, Carman, Price, Ahio, Kean, Lippe Morrison, Plechko, Rudenko, Mansour, De Mori... throw all the B grade heavyweight brawlers into a round robin. Theres money to be made on the heavyweight B circuit.

    Anthony Yarde v TBA. Just for the comedy value of him and his management bigging up his opponents. Always cracks me up.

    Those look like aome pretty good matchup, good job. I like Kambosos a lot and that would be a great scrap between he and Burns, ive always loved Burns win or lose.

    Prograis vs. Lipinets............... This, I think woild be a pretty gruesome massacre or has the potential to be. Prograis is a murderous puncher and Lipinets I think is tailor made for a Prograis highlight reel. Prograis no doubt puts him on a poster.

    Charlo Sulecki......... I like both fighters but there is a MASSIVE talent gap between the two. Sulecki is a good, tough fighter but I think a hungry and motivated big Charlo lights him up and pulls the plug on his consciousness.

    Very good list though.

    Personally I badly wanna see Andrade vs either Charlo and Brian Castano vs Liam Williams or Austin Trout.

    Sergey Derevyenchenko vs Matt Korobov could be a he'll of a fight.

    Browne v Price? Ouch, why do you hate Price so much. Sure Browne is shot, but Price folds against punchers and against 50/50 or better opponents, and Browne would be both of those.

    I don't hate Price I think that this would be a pretty even match up that either guy can win by KO

    But when has Price ever beaten a guy he wasn't dramatically favored over? Add in the fact that Browne hits hard and its a recipe for disaster.

    Have you seen Browne's last 2 fights since he got KO'd by Whyte?
