    What fight or fights are you most looking forward to seeing in the last couple of months of 2014.

    We have some great match-ups to look forward to but which ones are you especially excited about?

    The criteria I’ve used in deciding 10 fights for the Poll is if either it’s relevant historically (Hopkins-Kovalev), an exciting style match-up (Lemieux-Rosado) or could produce a future star or superstar in boxing (Benavidez-Herrera).

    Therefore fights like Bradley-Chaves, Andrade-Charlo and Korobov-Lee don’t make the cut. I would have added Frankie Gomez vs Thomas Dulorme to the Poll but that fight hasn’t been officially announced as of yet.

    What are your picks and why?

    No

    As i explained it fits none of the criteria above i listed plus i think as a match-up it's a COMPLETE STINKER of a fight and could well turn out to be a borefest full of hugging, holding, running and pitty patty punching.

    Also the Poll only allowed 10 choices or else i would have added it along with Bradley-Chaves and Korobov-Lee.

    Money isn't fighting so there really aren't any good fights left.

    Its 2 top ranked, young, undefeated fighters, fighting for a title.

    Theres reasons to want to see a fight other than seeing a slugfest

    You're right it's a good match-up on paper, i'm just not that high on JErmell Charlo and find him almost impossible to watch. I say this even though i'm a fan of technical boxers and love to watch Hopkins but i have my limits.

    If it'd been JermAll Charlo then i definately would have added it as he's much more entertaining then his brother and the fight would have been more stylistically pleasing.

    Also i wanted to focus on new guys like Sadam Ali, Benavidez jr and Eubank jr as if they win their upcoming fights they have far more chance of becoming real breakout stars in 2015.

    Tie between Hopkins-Kovalev and Herrera-Benavidez Jr. Good, good stuff.
