    BJS will be 5x underdog at least. Flying feather fist are out of season. Air soft vs hot lead.

        Good he didn't say "best fight" since Estrada/Chocolatito just happened.
        Yep. To me, that was bigger. It was the most important match that could be made in that division, was a huge rematch years in the making, and featured 2 fighters who have zero idea even how to spell "dull fight", much less produce one. I get what he is saying. More eyes and interest will be on Alvarez/Saunders. But Estrada/Gonzalez was bigger. Period, end of story.

          Talent wise, probably
          Hype wise, AJ vs Fury is and will probably get FOTY

            Can't knock nelo. B js is underdog But a tough underdog. He's not a ber to for floyd, or connor/tenshin.
            Floyd weren't prepared to fight the toughest underdogs of spence, thurmans, Crawford types level one after the other.
            Littered with maidanas, guerrero, o rtiz, berto types. You never got impression Floyd's opponents were toughest available, them having belts made the fights barely acceptable. Without the belts they would be fights with no credibility.
            Without belts they'd be nobodys​​​

As far as best fights this year its Valdez/Berchelt fight and Estrada/Gonzalez fight. The good thing is that this is a unification match.
              Your simply wrong. It does come down to definition etc but of course most would consider mass appeal/viewers as the main deciding factor. In terms of popularity this fight easily is well ahead of those you mentioned, that doesn’t mean it will be the best fight....but there is a difference between biggest and best.

              obviously once AJ vs Fury is announced this will quickly be moved into second place.

                So many people who can't understand the words 'so far'.

                  As for Taylor/Ramirez:

                  If that fight was bigger than Canelo/Saunders, it wouldn't have got bumped to a later date to avoid clashing with Canelo.

                  The only big fights this year that I can think of off the top of my head are Plant vs Truax, Berchelt vs Valdez and last weekend's Estrada vs Chocolatito. The latter two were both good fights. Most likely both better fights than Canelo vs Saunders. But Canelo vs Saunders will be bigger.
