    Groves/DeGale - DeGale winning this time, possibly leading to a 3rd fight down the line.

    Fury/Price - Fury wide points IMO.

    Martin Murray/Darren Barker - Murray KO.

    Donaire/Mares or Rigo - Donaire KO both.

    Broner/Burns - Broner stoppage.

    Golovkin/Geale - Golovkin KO.

    Froch/Kessler - Froch points.

    Vitali/Haye - Haye points.

    Cleverly/Bellew II - Cleverly points again.

    Trout/Alvarez - 50/50 fight, just want to see it.

    Khan/Matthyse - Khan has the skill to outbox him and stay away from any big shots. Also brings back huge credibility against big puncher.

    Just an opinion but think Matthyse is way overrated. Would be a lot less sure about Khan/Garcia rematch. Surprises everytime I see someone rating Matthyse higher than Garcia.

    Its the style mate, He my look like a bit of a plodder but that's not the case, his movement and ability to get in position to get his shots off is pretty good, he has a good chin and is a handful for anyone at the weight, with Khan obvious flaws I can't see how he can win.

    His movement isn't that great, it's just his constant pressure. Not saying it would be easy but Khan definitely has the ability.

    Look at the early rounds of Judah/Matthyse and you'll see what Khan coukd do to win. Fast, in and out shots. As long as Khan can keep his chin down when coming out of range, which would probably be worked on heavily in training, he should be fine. Khan has better stamina than Judah anyway so he could keep that up longer.

    Possible, but Khan is a lot less intelligent than Judah and you have to ask yourself can Khan keep Matthysse off for 36 minutes? I doubt he can, all it needs is one slip up and Matthysse will bombard him with heavy shots, will Khans chin hold up?

    Its also worth noting that these flurry's that Khan throws have no substance behind them, he will not keep Lucas at bay.

    Khan couldn't keep him off but could time his punches well enough. Khan is quicker than Judah.

    Khans flurries were a lot more effective Sunday morning, look at Molina's face. I know it wasn't against the most skilled boxer, but Matthyse would definitely be there to be hit, and therefore pick up rounds for Khan. Hopefully these more effective flurries are because of the new trainer and not just the low quality of Molina.

    To be honest I mainly just want to see the fight because it would be excting. Would either be a Khan UD or Matthyse KO, but at this stage I would lean towards a Khan victory.

    Domestically:

    Fury/Price
    Barker/Macklin/Lee fighting each other. Been waiting for that for ages, especially Barker/Macklin.
    Quigg/Frampton
    Rees/Murray
    Murray/Mitchell II
    Gavin/Purdy or Vassell
    Buckland/Simpson or Lindsay

    Internationally:

    Lebedev to stop fighting OAPs in Russia and take on somoene like Hernandez
    Pirog/Golovkin/Geale/Quillin fighting each other
    Trout/Alvarez
    Kirkland/Angulo II - just because
    Mattyhsse/Garcia and Maidana
    Guerrero/JMM :think
    Rios against anyone who isn't a mover :D
    Daud Yordan to get a biggish fight in the US. Maybe against someone like JuanMa?
    Donaire/Mares - obviously
    Santa Cruz vs anyone

    In the same way Carlos Baldomir was "THE" champion when Floyd Mayweather gotta hold of him! Nishioka is done, he's over the hill, just like Jorge Arce, you really should study boxing more mate, and i mean that in the most sincere terms, because you argue about things you clearly know very little about!

    Vic Darchynian is still Donaire's premier name on his resume, and that fight was 3 years ago!, he should of kicked on into "super fight" territory and he's still knocking off pretenders
