As 2014 is winding down this lackluster year has left disappointment in boxing fans, especially with the amazing year 2013 was. 2015 however may be a different story as we salivate on the potential fights that can be made with the cold war between promoters seeming to have finally winded down.
My list in a perfect world would go as follows:
First half of 2015
Mikey Garcia vs Terrence Crawford at light welterweight
Danny Garcia vs Manny Pacquiao at light welterweight(assuming Pac wins)
Floyd Mayweather vs Miguel Cotto TBD(assuming Floyd wins)
Yuriorkas Gamboa vs Nicholas Walters at featherweight
Tyson Fury vs Wladimir Klitschko (assuming Wlad wins)
Vasyl Lomachenko vs Guillermo Rigondeaux 124 catch-weight
Keith Thurman vs Kell Brook at welterweight
Chris Algieri vs Ruslan Provodnikov 2 at light welterweight
Lamont Peterson vs Adrien Broner at light welterweight
Lucas Mathysse vs Amir Khan at a reasonable catchweight
Second half of 2015
Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather at welterweight
Miguel Cotto vs Canelo Alvarez either light middleweight or middleweight
Winner of Pac-Floyd vs Gennady Golovkin at a reasonable catch weight (late december)
(winner of Peterson-Broner vs Algieri vs Provodnikov winner)
Lucas Mathysse vs Danny Garcia 2 at 140
Amir Khan vs (winner of Brook vs Thurman)
Wladimir Klitschko vs (winner of Stiverne-Wilder)
Wladimir Klitschko vs Shannon Briggs (late december)
some of these are worth a mention:
