Which contenders do you want to see get a shot in 2024.

look out for Soslan Asbarov at cruiserweight in particular. Excellent fighter being fast tracked, really impressed with him.

Filip Hrgovic Soslan Asbarov Christian M'billi Meirim Nursultanov Bakhram Murtazaliev Serhii Bohachuk Eimantis Stanionis Cody Crowley Denys Berinchyk William Zepeda Nick Ball Sam Goodman

David Benavidez. Full stop. Yeah idk how I failed to mention him.

tank davis its time to take the kid gloves off of this little man

Frank Smith and George Warren, so that the Matchroom FC vs Queensberry FC bitch fest can last another 25 years.

Bakole at heavyweight Ngabu and Zurdo at Cruiser Gvozdyk and Bivol-Azeez winner at 175 Mbilli at Super middle Nursultanov at 160 Charles Conwell at Jr middle Stanionis at 147 Gary Antuanne and Hitchins at 140 Muratalla and Zepeda at 135 :dunno: at Junior lightweight Ray Ford at feather Sam Goodman and Nery's bitch ass at 122 That's all I can think of

God I hope we can see Boots v Crawfish before Crawford leaves the sport.. also big bang Zhang v Joshua/Wilder Boots is no longer a "contender". The IBF just gave him a belt for existing.

Another fighter I want to see get a shot is Nick Ball. 5'2 fiery guy. :boxing:

For me, I'd add... Nakatani vs Jason Moloney at 118, as Nakatani seems to not be able to set up an unification fight in 115 to save his life and after he destroyed his brother, it will make a decent revenge fight. Nery vs Inoue at 122 will be nice (especially in USA) but if not, I'd also take a Sam Goodman vs Inoue at 122 but that will more likely be in Japan if it happens. Fulton vs Figueroa (assuming he gets raised from Interim status) at 126, as it was brewing before Inoue decided to come up and take Fulton at 122. Reiya Abe to actually get a shot at a title for 126 before Inoue comes up, even if he doesn't win at least he deserves a chance to attempt.

Strong list. I'd add Stanionis, Lubin and Ohara Davies as fighters looking almost certain to get a shot soon. Nick Ball also, and Shabaz Masoud once Inoue departs 122. A few outsiders, but all I think could potentially get a 2024 title shot at 160; Elijah Garcia, Ammo Williams and Hamzah Sheeraz. All fairly exciting fighters. I’m really looking forward to Ball-Dogboe next weekend. Think that’s a great test to see how good Nick really is. Gutted Sheeraz-Williams got called off, that was a really good step up fight too IMO.

Zhilei Zhang- Whilst I don’t think he’s necessarily a huge threat to the Fury-Usyk winner, he had two very good stoppage wins over Joyce and I felt he beat Hrgovic too. He’s definitely earned a shot. Richard Riakporhe- Had a really frustrating 2023 with title shots falling through but remains a big threat to all the champions IMO. David Benavidez- Canelo needs to fight this man. Simple as that. Vasyl Lomachenko- Definitely on the slide but deserves another crack after getting jobbed against Haney. He’d be a nice scalp for Shakur too. Otabek Kholmatov- Looked sensational against Ward, no surprise Wood is vacating and moving up to 130. Feel free to post your own… Strong list.

Kholmatov/Ford is supposedly coming soon, so he won't have to wait much longer. You mentioned Riakporhe, but isn't it partially his fault that he hasn't had a title shot yet? That's why I didn't list him or Buatsi. He was meant to fight Goulamirian in France which fell through due to promotional issues for the Champion I believe, then he was rumoured to fight Opetaia but then he signed with Matchroom making the fight a lot more difficult to make.

Raymond Muratalla whose going to be gunning for the WBO belt against William Zepeda or Denys Berinchyk as primary options according to Robert Garcia. David Benavidez against Canelo Alvarez after fighting two ranked opponents for the WBC belt this year. (If he beats Andrade I mean) Ruben Villa against a more experienced Luis Alberto Lopez for the IBF title (Venado lost in their first match). A young 23 year old Villa had been derailed by an upcoming Navarrete and has been unactive for more than two years until 2022.

I want Hrgovic -Wallin for vacant IBF title And Zhang against somebody for vacant WBO title.

I want to see Tim Tszuyu fight a belt holder.

God I hope we can see Boots v Crawfish before Crawford leaves the sport.. also big bang Zhang v Joshua/Wilder

Adames, Gvozdyk, Madrimov

EIMANTAS STANIONIS - Was looking forward to his fight with Vergil Ortiz but he kept falling ill. :(

Tank has never been given a true shot at a true elite champion. Poor tank.
