    To be fair, we had Garcia/Haney last week.

    We just need to accept that boxing is global these days. And the notion that foreign superstar boxers need to fight on US soil is a relic of the past.

    Whenever Americans are involved in the big fights there is always some BS like rehydration clauses all sorts of weight games and bad judges, terrible referees. All the fights listed in this thread are on a level playing field no BS just straight up boxing I love it.
    Edit- Apart from Canelo Munguia lol

    Like Ryan beating / upsetting Devin
    Munguía KOing Canelo would be great for boxing.

    we would then get Munguía vs Benevidez (after a rematch of course)
    That would be an amazing fight.
    Gatti vs Ward level.

    I haven’t decided yet but lean towards Beterbiev.

    Just personally ... this fight will be great when round 1 is underway ... but until then I barely want to hear/read/think another word about it.

    Fury Whyte was 2 years ago and Usyk Joshua almost that. There's been threads and media all that time and the sooner that this fight finally gets put to bed, the better ... and there's every chance this will drag on for even longer due to some last minute BS.

    They could be too, they just won't fight strong opponents
