Keith vs Pacman - I'm a fan of Pacquiao. Especially his epic run at the lower weights and thrillers with the 3 amigos.
I was once a fan of One Time, but as of late he doesn't move me. On paper it looks great and all but I cant seem to warm up to it. I'll get the PPV to watch Luis Nery vs what I'm hoping will be a credible opponent but that's pretty much it so far.
Ryan Garcia - maybe because I'm not big on the social media craze or I'm far too old for his antics but I could careless about the kid. Haven't followed his career too closely but I'm not sure why he reminds me of Verdejo before he lost his luster.
Spence Jr vs Porter - Porter makes for some extremely sloppy and dull fights in my opinion. I just hope Spence Jr can make it a short night.
Unpopular opinions perhaps but meh, they are my own.
I'm honestly done with Russell .
All this fighting Once a year shet got old quick .
He wants big fights though, he has a world title and it seems like the other champions don't wanna try to get that one off him. I'm not gonna blame him because I'm sure he wouldn't have a problem fighting Warrington in UK, he just wants a payday and I just wanna see a big fight.
Even If it is them, I still think he beats them very easily. I'd still be hyped for that though.

Fury / Schwartz
Wilder / Ortiz
AJ / Ruiz
Gary Russell ( unless it's vs Leo or Berchelt ) .
Crawford / Brook
Charlo / Adams

Joshua Vs. Ruiz
Fury Vs. Shwatz..?? Whatever the hell the guys name is
Callum Smith Vs. N'dam
Pretty much 70% of the big name fighter this year, they fight guys who have no chance.
I can't argue with any of these. Good post.

I definitely agree with the porter spence fight. I just do not find Porters style enjoyable. In spots its fun but too much mauling, clinching, and can get sloppy when he throws.
Davis doesn't get much hype from me neither. Sure he can fight and crack but bleh... I can go without.
Crawford continuously fighting weak opposition is really not helping his cause. I was a huge fan of Bud but nowadays I'm lukewarm towards him.
It almost seems like the Welterweight division is more hype than anything in my book. You have alot of well known and respected names but I just can't seem to get too overly excited about their fights. Thurman, Crawford, Porter, the Garcias.... sigh.
I think I'd be able to talk myself into the worst of the fights I see mentioned..
not sure how I talk myself into Trout vs Gausha?
Oh, Browne vs Pascal - that seems like an unnecessary beating Pascal will be taking
Yea, good point on Spence-Porter. I was thinking PPV (not excited to see that), but will definitely watch on FOX/SHO. I still think Loma will walk through Campbell. Hope I'm wrong and it becomes competitive
Forgot to add GGG-Rolls, but thats obvious
I think it will be for some rounds. I can see this fight going 10. Campbell is better than Crolla.
I don't count GGG-Rolls as a fight.
Any Rey Vargas fight. The guy has Nacho Beristain as his trainer but doesn't seem to be improving at all and gets more boring every fight.
I am not into the teeny bopper fanbase of Ryan Garcia. But I am excited to see what the Reynosos can mold him into.
Porter can't afford to be boring vs Spence. I can't stand Porter's style at all. Spence KO. I wanna see this, just not on PPV.
Loma will prove too good for Campbell. With the sprained right hand, Campbell might have a chance to make it competitive, in spots.
I like those fights.

I halfway agree on Ryan. The social media campaign is annoying but easy to ignore but for me I think Ryan can become a really good fighter its just GBP and his handlers will keep him away from hard fights because they see too much money in this kid. I fully expect him to win a title then make tomato can defenses.
Not looking forward to Hughie Fury fighting, especially with his promoter declaring that Hughie is going to fight 4 times this year, to me that just means Hughie's going to fight 4 C list guys.
Joseph Parker. I believe Joe is cashing out his career. He's been consistent on retiring when he's 30 so he's fishing for a last payday and will probably bum around the C tier guys until he gets one.
Gary Russell jr. He's had a 10 year pro career, 31 fights, but as far as I'm concerned he's only had 3 fights against actually good opponents. Despite this he feels people are ducking him and that he's in the same money making tier as Leo Santa Cruz. He's standing on an anthill thinking its a mountain.
Daniel Jacobs. I thought a lot on this and Jacobs doesn't rub me the right way. I feel like he's a fighter that takes advantage of rules and fighters to give himself an advantage. In the GGG fight he intentionally blew the second weigh in while GGG obeyed it because Jacobs thought it could give him an advantage. And he pulls the same stunt again with Canelo, blowing the second day weigh in while Canelo honors it. And in that fight one of the first things the guys I was watching the fight with said was 'Why is Jacobs backing up?' That was round 1 with Jacobs the bigger, heavier guy voluntarily being backed up by Canelo. I think Jacobs is very skilled but deep down he's not confident.
