    which one? exciting or big? because theres a few exciting fights that aren't necessarily big. We got the WBSS every week up until the end of November, Saunders/Andrade, October 27th Matchroom card is exciting but not even close to big, Usyk/Bellew in November, Stevenson/Gvozdyk same day as Fury/Wilder, Loma/Pedraza week after

    I’m talking about the big names. Canelo, Golovkin, Joshua, Loma, Pacquiao, Khan, Brook, Crawford, Errol Spence etc.

    Wilder-Fury is big. Respect for both fighter to take the challenge.
    Lomachenko-Pedraza is just another mismatch, but it’s not Lomachenko’s fault, he is among those very few boxers who would like to fight against real opponents.

    These are fights I would LOVE to see but most probably won't get made:

    Callum Smith vs David Benavidez
    Saul Alvarez vs Rocky Fielding (some peope see this fight as a joke but I think it could prove a worthwhile spectacle given Fieldkngs's height and considerable reach advantage.)
    Spence vs Crawford or Thurman
    Crawford vs Thurman or D. Garcia
    Joshua vs Wilder or Usyk
    Wilder vs Usyk, Miller or Joyce
    Usyk vs Bellew (another fight which I believe could prove to be more entertaining than its being given credit for.)
    Ortiz vs Whyte, Povetkin or Chisora
    Pulev vs Povetkin, Ortiz or Whyte
    Porter vs Spence
    Lomachenko vs Linares 2
    Garcia vs Spence
    GGG vs Murata, Charlo, BJS, Derevyanchenko or Jacobs 2
    Hurd vs Charlo
    Kovalev vs Alvarez 2 or Beterbiev
    Beterbiev vs Alvarez
    Dorticos vs Breidis
    Jacobs vs Canelo or BJS
    Canelo vs BJS
    Khan vs Pacquiao or Brook
    Mungia vs Charlo or Canelo
    And if I could wish upon a star: Wlad to come out of retirement for a one off vs Wilder

    Golovkin vs Charlo/Canelo/Jacobs/BJS

    Canelo vs Charlo/Golovkin/Jacobs/BJS

    Pacquiao vs Crawford, Brook vs Khan, Loma vs Mikey, Loma vs Gervonta, Joshua vs Wilder, Joshua vs Fury

    Why these fights are not happening? I know the answer and most of you guys know too, I just wanted to make a point.
    There’s a reason why HBO dropped boxing, and there’s a reason why PPV numbers are dead.

    You mean the sort of fights that could.transcend the sport. I'd say:

    Joshua v Fury/Wilder
    Spence v Crawford
    Canelo v GGG III
    Inoue v Srisaket (should he move up)
    Lomachenko v Garcia


    I would.say those are the five biggest or best/meaningful fights the sport can make at present. Usyk could cut in at heavyweight too depending on how he fares there.

    Paulie vs Conor. In 2019. Watch. The lead up will be hilarious.



    Serious big fights... Usyk vs Joshua, Gvozyk vs Bivol/Beterbiev for unification, Loma vs Garcia, Derevyanchenko vs Canelo.
