I think the best matchups that can and possibly will happen this year are
Usyk-Gassiev already signed
Hurd-Charlo
Andrade-Devreychenko
Ramirez-Prograis
Anything mixing and matching Nietes, Estrada and Rungvisai
Joshua-Wilder BIG fight but a mismatch IMO
According to the WBC, Ramirez vs. Progais must fight each other next, if that for some reason is not happening, Mohamed Mimoune is a good fight for Ramirez or Regi.
Former WBO jr. Flyweight champion Kosei Tanaka has made his debut at flyweight a few weeks ago, in attendance was current WBO Flyweight champion Sho Kimura -- who just took the crown from Zoo Chains; they are suppose to get it on.
Roman Gonzalez should be challenging for a title at Superfly by the end of the year, Khalid or maybe whoever holds the WBO as 'Chocolatito' is highly ranked by both sanctioning bodies ; #1. for the WBA.
Forgt about Prograis-Ramirez..
Ramirez is defending in his hometown next and it better be against Prograis
Joshua vs Povetkin will be a great fight.
Wilder vs Joshua is not going to happen in 2018.
Wilder vs Ortiz 2 would be a great fight but let's be honest, Wilder is going to fight bums again for his next few fights... not that Ortiz was a champion either.
Kovalev vs Bivol in late 2018 will be great.

Boxing journalists attacking and demolishing the "big four" - KO'ing WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO.
Oh, realistically?
Unfortunately, today's boxing journalists are no Bert Sugars.
