    Don't know the probability of the fights happening but some are more likely then others.
    Some interesting picks there, thanks for the feedback.

      Damn I rated them as to how much Id like to see them.

      If it was about likelyhood of happening, the ratings would be:
      Floyd vs Pac 3/10
      Floyd vs Martinez 1/10
      Kovalev vs Stevenson 7/10
      Froch vs Groves II 8/10
      GGG vs Martinez 5/10

          Cotto - Martinez - 9/10 - Sounds like a done deal, who knows though
          Lara - Canelo - 5/10 - Just doesn't seem like it'll ever happen
          Garcia - Maidana - 8/10 - I think if Garcia moves up and beats Paulie - this fight happens!
          Kovalev - BHop - 8/10 - I think BHop goes for this
          Ward - Froch II - 5/10 - I think the rematch is more entertaining that the first

          Honorable mention for a fight that nobody cares for except me:
          Cotto - JMM - 1/10 - I've always dreamed of this fight - leave me alone!

            Mayweather vs Pac
            GGG vs Ward
            Donaire vs Rigo II
            Stevenson vs Kovalev
            Maidana vs Garcia

            That's definitely a wish list, not even sure even one of these fights will be made.

              I think Stevenson - Kovalev will, Donaire - Rigo II could well be, other than that the others do seem to be on the wish list rather than likely meetings, but you never know. Maidana - Garcia could be a good fight too but I dunno the likelihood of that, and I'd prefer to see Maidana - Provodnikov tbh.

                Interesting!

                International

                Wilder vs Fury
                Stevenson vs Kovalev
                Ward vs Hopkins
                Garcia vs Provodnikov
                Porter vs Brook

                Domestic (UK)

                Quigg vs Frampton
                Groves vs De Gale 2
                Smith vs Buglioni
                Ryder vs Eubank Jr
                Rose vs Smith
                Butler vs Yafai

                Should be a great year for the British domestic scene if some prospect vs prospect fights happen.

                  Martinez vs Golovkin 6/10
                  Mayweather vs Pacquiao 0/10
                  Stevenson vs Kovalev 8/10
                  Garcia vs Uchiyama 1/10
                  Pacquiao vs Bradley 2 8/10

                  Obviously, the Mayweather Pacquiao fight isn't happening. I don't think Stevenson and Kovalev have enough options outside of each other. I can't see Garcia having any interest in fighting Uchiyama, nor Uchiyama in fighting him. Martinez has repeatedly stated he wants to fight Golovkin after his injuries heal, but there is the issue of the mandatory with Rubio. As for a Pacquiao Bradley rematch, not many other options for those two.

                    Maidana vs Provodnikov would be awesome, but what a blood bath it would be!

                      Good list mate, some unique picks there. Yeah, I have been keeping some track of the domestic scene in the UK...I know there are some good matchups to be made - Groves v Degale 2 would be awesome as a domestic yet also world eliminator matchup, but I don't think Groves would want to step down in any way, especially since Degale gave him such a tough fight the first time. High risk to potentially throw away his hype and momentum from the Froch fight.
