So there's clearly dissatisfaction with the cards being put on, and some Haymon supporters are upset at this and some are even pulling the race card because of it (:omfg:, my personal favorite), but let's look at the positive here instead. I feel PBC has hit a point where the timing for better match-ups has to be now, right? We're heading towards the end of the year and it's a good time to close out strong. So how would you like to see them close out the year?
My 2 cents - more action from the welterweight division...Khan-Thurman and Porter-Garcia.
And also Rigo-Frampton @122 if the fight with Loma falls through because of weight. Rigo is long overdue for a big fight and after the Santa Cruz bullsh, I'd like to see Frampton step up.
Thurman vs Porter/Khan
Algieri vs Maidana
Wilder vs Povetkin
Frampton vs Rigo if he signs
Russel vs mares/LSC winner early 2016
Quillen vs Jacobs
Beiterbiev vs Stevenson
Just some I can think of off the top
Garcia v Porter
Wilder v Povetkin
Spence v Broner
Thurman v Kahn
Algieri vs Peterson
Thurman vs Porter
Spence vs Guerrero
Jacobs vs Quillen
Garcia vs Khan II
Rances vs Broner
Beterbiev vs Fonfara(if kov fight doesn't happen)
Wilder vs Povetkin
LSC vs Rigo
Frampton vs Mares
Figueroa vs Shavikov(wishful thinking)
Any of these would work for me.
i'd like to see more tuneups personally
Naw son,I'd like to see more "TBA" opponents. Screw the big name fighters,those are all divas. The no name fighters with 24-19 records,who take fights on a 15 day notice,those are the real young hungry lions.
Is Algieri with Haymon or was that just a one time thing vs Khan?
One time thing. Granted they expected Khan to dominate, I'm assuming Haymon and co would be willing to work with Algieri again against the right guy (as long as he's not with Haymon I think he'll be offered fights that they think he'll lose).
limiting the list to PBC
Quillin-Jacobs
Thurman-Porter
Garcia-Maidana
Wilder-Briggs (Wilder-Povtkin likely gets pushed to 2016, also likely on SHO)
-Erroll Spence Jr in a meaningful fight
all the other matchups that I'd like to see have too much in flux to honestly start looking toward them (Khan-Brook, Frampton-Quigg, Stevenson-Kovalev, Wilder-Povetkin, Degale-Jack/Groves, etc) or outside of PBC's orbit (Ward-Golovkin).
tons of great matchups available especially involving thurman, porter, garcia, khan and maidana. But its Haymon and I doubt we will see any big matchups. I foresee tuneups and showcases for 3/5 of the fights and 2/5 being decent/good fights
Algieri vs Peterson
Thurman vs Porter
Spence vs Guerrero
Jacobs vs Quillen
Garcia vs Khan II
Rances vs Broner
Beterbiev vs Fonfara(if kov fight doesn't happen)
Wilder vs Povetkin
LSC vs Rigo
Frampton vs Mares
Figueroa vs Shavikov(wishful thinking)
PBC has been just incredible so far to us non-racists who aren't racist
All I can ask for is more of the same!!
Hopefully Garcia-Malignaggi Thurman-Collazo get rematches signed and Wilder steps up to Antonio Tarver's challenge for the most prestigious belt in boxing
LMAO :rofl:
More Deontay Wilder advertisements, his own line of athletic gear, put his face on billboards in every major city, etc.
Then he fights Chauncy Welliver.

Thurman-Khan
Garcia-Porter
Algeri-Broner
Spence-Guererro
Quillen-Jacobs
Stevenson-Bertibiev
you know, I'd rather see Broner-Guerrero, I think that's a good come-back fight for Adrien and there's some added history there. And I'd rather Spence fight....Sammy Vasquez would be cool. A step-up is ideal given the hype around him now.
Thurman vs Porter/Khan
Algieri vs Maidana
Wilder vs Povetkin
Frampton vs Rigo if he signs
Russel vs mares/LSC winner early 2016

I like the Algieri-Maidana suggestion, but very unlikely.
Thurman vs Porter/Khan
Algieri vs Maidana
Wilder vs Povetkin
Frampton vs Rigo if he signs
Russel vs mares/LSC winner early 2016
Quillen vs Jacobs
