Name 5 matchups you'd love to see in 2014

Name the best 5 matchups you'd love to see at some point in 2014. Also, rate out of 10 how likely you think they are to actually happen. I'll start with 5: Wladimir Klitschko v Kubrat Pulev 8/10 Adonis Stevenson v Sergey Kovalev 6/10 Erislandy Lara v Canelo Alvarez 7/10 Manny Pacquiao v Floyd Mayweather (yes, we can dream here) 3/10 Lomachenko v Rigondeaux (end of the year if Lomachenko beats Salido) 4/10 Those are just 5 off the top of my head, I know i'm missing some other fights i'd really like to see...but let's hear your matchups. EDIT before creating thread, also feel free to add 5 honourable mentions as a selection of just 5 fights does seem a bit restrictive. Discuss :boxing: Rigo wouldn't get anything of jumping on Lomachenko so early in his career other than amateur bragging rights really id rather see Rigo vs Santa Cruz at this point. Instead of Wlad id rather see Gamboa vs Mikey Garcia as well.

Mayweather vs. Pacquiao (2/10) Cotto vs. Martinez (8/10) Molina vs. Canelo (5/10) GGG vs. Ward (3/10) Rigo vs. Ali Raymi (0/10, Rigo is scared)

wlad vs pulev is a mismatch, would never be in my top 5 to see That was my least wanted/important matchup from the list, but I wanted to have a heavyweight title fight on there and Pulev seems to be the best challenger in terms of SKILLS. However, I guess there are more interesting fights for sure between contenders, maybe something like Fury v Wilder would be fun to watch and would eliminate either 1 or both of them as hype jobs.

Lara vs Mayweather at 154 Stevenson vs Kovalev Cotto vs Kirkland at 154 Santa Cruz vs Frampton GGG vs Martinez

wlad vs pulev is a mismatch, would never be in my top 5 to see

Maidana/Thurman 7/10 Mayweather/Lara 3/10 GGG/Martinez 4/10 Kovalev/Stevenson 6/10 Mares/Rigondeaux 2/10

All these fights can be and should be made next year Maidana vs Mattyhsse GGG vs Kirkland Stevenson vs Kovalev Provodnikov vs Rios Wilder vs Fury

GGG vs Kirkland is a good shout if GGG can't get the bigger ones.

Maidana vs Provodnikov would be awesome, but what a blood bath it would be! Yeah, for sure. I made a thread a while ago about this fight with a poll, I said that if it goes to a decision both guys will be ruined, but since they havnt been stopped before I do see that as a possibility (going to a decision). :boxing:

Interesting! International Wilder vs Fury Stevenson vs Kovalev Ward vs Hopkins Garcia vs Provodnikov Porter vs Brook Domestic (UK) Quigg vs Frampton Groves vs De Gale 2 Smith vs Buglioni Ryder vs Eubank Jr Rose vs Smith Butler vs Yafai Should be a great year for the British domestic scene if some prospect vs prospect fights happen. Good list mate, some unique picks there. Yeah, I have been keeping some track of the domestic scene in the UK...I know there are some good matchups to be made - Groves v Degale 2 would be awesome as a domestic yet also world eliminator matchup, but I don't think Groves would want to step down in any way, especially since Degale gave him such a tough fight the first time. High risk to potentially throw away his hype and momentum from the Froch fight.

I think Stevenson - Kovalev will, Donaire - Rigo II could well be, other than that the others do seem to be on the wish list rather than likely meetings, but you never know. Maidana - Garcia could be a good fight too but I dunno the likelihood of that, and I'd prefer to see Maidana - Provodnikov tbh. Maidana vs Provodnikov would be awesome, but what a blood bath it would be!

Martinez vs Golovkin 6/10 Mayweather vs Pacquiao 0/10 Stevenson vs Kovalev 8/10 Garcia vs Uchiyama 1/10 Pacquiao vs Bradley 2 8/10 Obviously, the Mayweather Pacquiao fight isn't happening. I don't think Stevenson and Kovalev have enough options outside of each other. I can't see Garcia having any interest in fighting Uchiyama, nor Uchiyama in fighting him. Martinez has repeatedly stated he wants to fight Golovkin after his injuries heal, but there is the issue of the mandatory with Rubio. As for a Pacquiao Bradley rematch, not many other options for those two.

Mayweather vs Pac GGG vs Ward Donaire vs Rigo II Stevenson vs Kovalev Maidana vs Garcia That's definitely a wish list, not even sure even one of these fights will be made. I think Stevenson - Kovalev will, Donaire - Rigo II could well be, other than that the others do seem to be on the wish list rather than likely meetings, but you never know. Maidana - Garcia could be a good fight too but I dunno the likelihood of that, and I'd prefer to see Maidana - Provodnikov tbh.

Cotto - Martinez - 9/10 - Sounds like a done deal, who knows though Lara - Canelo - 5/10 - Just doesn't seem like it'll ever happen Garcia - Maidana - 8/10 - I think if Garcia moves up and beats Paulie - this fight happens! Kovalev - BHop - 8/10 - I think BHop goes for this Ward - Froch II - 5/10 - I think the rematch is more entertaining that the first Honorable mention for a fight that nobody cares for except me: Cotto - JMM - 1/10 - I've always dreamed of this fight - leave me alone!

Some interesting picks there, thanks for the feedback. Thanks bro =]

Floyd vs Pac 8/10 Floyd vs Martinez 8/10 Kovalev vs Stevenson 7/10 Froch vs Groves II 7/10 GGG vs Martinez 7/10 GGG vs Sturm 6/10 Damn I rated them as to how much Id like to see them. If it was about likelyhood of happening, the ratings would be: Floyd vs Pac 3/10 Floyd vs Martinez 1/10 Kovalev vs Stevenson 7/10 Froch vs Groves II 8/10 GGG vs Martinez 5/10

Estrada Leo SantaCruz vs Abner Mares or Johnny Gonzalez (Depending on the outcome of their fight) Antonio DeMarco vs Josesito Lopez or Jesse Vargas Keith Thurman vs Marcos Maidana Gennady Golovkin vs Peter Quillen or Sergio Martinez Sergey Kovalev vs Adonis Stevenson Don't know the probability of the fights happening but some are more likely then others.
