    IMO these are the biggest fights that NEED to be made between undefeated fighters. Surely some of these fights will be potential FOTY barnburners, although there's also a chance that some of them can also be boring or one sided as well. In terms of excitement and entertainment which fights would you say will bring out the best clash of styles?

    In descending order of interest:

    1) Lopez vs Tank
    2) Crawford vs Porter
    3) Ennis vs Ortiz Jr
    4) Usyk vs Fury

    Could maybe swap 2 and 3.

    Just imagine if all 4 fights were on the same card. We can only dream...
    The last thing we really want is for any of these fights to go to waste and end up becoming another Gamboa vs Juanma or Kovalev vs Stevenson, exciting fights that didn't materialize.

    1. Fury/Usyk (because of the significance, the fight itself is just OK)
    2. Ortiz vs Ennis
    3. Tank vs Lopez
    4. Crawford vs Porter

    Crawford vs Porter is nice but not as exciting as the other 3. I might prefer Crawford vs Ortiz/Ennis at this point. Those two are on such a great trajectory.

    In order:

    Spence vs. Crawford (A war on the highest level, A seek and destroy guy and a guy with a chip on his shoulder: both are both)
    Tank vs. Teo (Somebody is likely going to get stopped, both are quick bangers and could clip the other)
    Ennis vs. Ortiz (Both are gunslingers, not sure yet how much adversity either can take)
    Fury vs. Usyk (This would be a chess match/great match but not exciting)

    Crawford vs Spence (why is Porter being mentioned?)
    Usyk-Fury

    The other two.

    Spence-Crawford is so stale I no longer care. I hope they don't fight, don't make any money, and have negligible legacies. **** them.

    Probably Lopez-Tank for hardcore fans, but the heavyweights are the flagship of boxing, so in another sense, Usyk-Fury.

    Lopez vs Tank and Spence vs Crawford are the real standout 50.50 fights but all great match ups.
