As far as rating these only based on excitement I'd say
Lucas v Garcia- this one has actual implications to the division, and is one a lot of us have wanted for a while now. Both punchers, and odds are one of them is going to sleep (Garcia IMO) but it will be tense and exciting while it lasts just knowing it could well end at any second.
Manny v Rios- I don't expect this to be even as competitive as Margarito vs Pacman was, but it will be a brutal display of fighting by these two in what will likely be a really cool atmosphere. Plus, I'll be happy to see Rios get knocked out.
Floyd v Canelo- This will be a huge event, and Floyd struggles every time he fights much bigger men (well, struggles for him anyway, meaning he actually loses some rounds) and I think there will be some surprises here. The timing of this fight seems awfully strange to me considering how many fights Floyd has left on his contract...but if all is on the up and up I expect Floyd by ud.
Marquez v Bradley- I fully expect this fight to be a stinker. Bradley can win this fight going away but he has to fight an ugly, ugly fight to do it. He isn't going to war with Marquez because he would lose. Timmy can't crack an egg with his best shot and he is going to have learned some lessons from the beating he took trying to be exciting in his last bout. I expect (sadly as a huge Marquez fan) to hear a post fight interview from Marquez basically complaining that Bradley fought dirt and didn't want to engage him. Bradley by ugly ud in a fight I'm looking forward to far less than most people because of how slow Marquez looked against Manny, and because of how Tim will have to fight if he plans on winning.
and without looking at the other responses I'd say the top two are probably the consensus though I did wonder about the bottom two and wouldn't be surprised if bradley JMM turned out to be a great one but put floyd v canelo higher as I'm hoping more than thinking it will be entertaining lol
I don't know why people think Matthysse-Garcia will be an all-out action packed fight, it will be over in one round!
Seriously though, I can't pick favorites, I will enjoy them all. Matthysse-Garcia and Pac-Rios for the action, May-Canelo and JMM-Bradley for appreciation of the sweet science. Awesome slate of fights.
