Better than 2013?
2015 could be The Greatest Year for Boxing in more than a Decade.

could be if everything goes right
with the two big possibles
froch v chavez?
there are also lots of fringe possibilities
we could also get a big GGG fight towards the end of the year(winner of cotto v canelo?)
... a big Wlad fight (wilder/stiverne/fury)
Kovalev v Stevenson?
kahn v brook v the winner of may pac later in the yearComment

As a boxing fan I hope you are right, but it it will be hard to top 2013, but 2015 can be a great year if these fights happen.
1. Mayweather vs Paquiao
2. Cotto vs Canelo
3. Froch vs Chavez Jr
4. Kovalev vs Stevenson
5. Mares vs Gonzalez 2
6. Khan vs Bradley
7. Swift vs Crawford
8. Provodnikov vs Matthysse
9. Klitscko vs Wilder vs Stiverne winner
10. Gonzalez vs InoueComment

It's looking like a good first half of the year. Boxing fans deserve it after how horrible 2014 was.
Golovkin/Murray would have been one of the better fights made in 2014. It's an afterthought right now.Comment

Ward v GGG doesn't transcend the sport, neither does Cotto/Canelo beyond the hispanic or American PPV audience.
In Europe and across the rest of the world, those fights are only big deals for the boxing public but nothing wrong with that. The best years in boxing, imo, shouldn't have to be judged by the casuals, it should be judged on the size of the fights being made.
If Pac/May, Cotto/Canelo, Ward/GGG, Stevenson/Kovalev, Wlad/WBC Champ/Fury, Gonzalez/Inoue, Bradley/Khan, Khan/May/Pac, Brook/Thurman, get made then yes, this could possibly be the best year of boxing that I can remember.
Edit: Never even managed to speak about Donaire, Walters, Crawford and so on, there is so much room to make 2015 a great year.Comment

I think you are just going to see more division and more ducking. Showcase fights for everyone while ducking the real opponents. The mayweather model.Comment

Dont forget Gonzalez vs Estrada 2, Mares vs Santa cruz, Loma vs Walters,walters/loma vs Gonzalez..Kovalev vs Pascal, GGG vs his toughest fight in murray..2015 could be the year in boxing!i thought 2013 was a really good year for boxing, but 2014 not so much. Potentially 2015 might be the best one in a long time.
Potential big match ups:
Manny-Floyd
Cotto-Canelo
Khan-Brook
Ward-GGG
Adonis-Kovalev
Klitschko-Wilder
Froch-Chavez Jr
All are pretty mainstream, but i doubt most these fights get made.
Man if the best fight the best in boxing all the time like they use to, boxing would easly be one of the biggest sports again.Comment
