For me, it is DDD and Hrgovic. This is the fight who will end up fighting AJ in September/October likely for the IBF.

Zhang / Wilder and it's not even close.

[Clubber Zhang]

Fish Eyes vs. The Worm

Never thought I'd be longing for the old days of Don King flapping his gums in the ring or in interviews - at least he had a personality and said some funny stuff (intentionally or not).

These two are an absolute bore and the whole "5 of Frank's guys versus five of Eddie's guys" self-aggrandizing promotion is downright cheesy.

DDD v Hrgovic us the most important fight. One of these is probably going to fight Joshua for a world title.

But Wilder v Zhang is a freak show event I can't help but want to see. Two old guys who could both knock the other out. It's not particularly relevant when it comes to belts but could, if Wilder can do it, set up a big event in the future.

"Looking forward to" all of them but the Zhang Wilder is the most exciting - it could be brutal while it lasts.
If I was Wilder I'd fight off the back foot with a stiff jab. Let Zhang follow you round. Mix in some lateral movement - but .... Wilders footwork is crap apart from the very quick step forward. Fugh it!!! Bombs away

Luckily they pay no heed to you and we have these excellent matchups.

Hopefully PBC Vs GBP/TR can follow but I'm not holding my breath

Wilder vs Zhang, it’s practically a loser retires fight

Wilder v. Zhang the most, but its going to be a great card all around.

One would think, right?
Sadly, more often than not they stick around fighting way past their competitive expiration date.
