    The next super fights in boxing

    What do you think could be the next super fights in boxing?

    I'll go with:

    Verdejo vs Crawford
    Thurman vs D.Garcia
    Canelo vs GGG
    Wilder vs Joshua

        Cotto v Canelo

        All the others are too far in the future, who knows if these guys will ever reach true elite level and be classified as "super fights".

            I agree with all except canelo vs GGG,,, canelo is a ***** and was scared to fight Chavez Jr so I can't see him fighting GGG, canelo will only fight you if he can out weigh u by 35 Pounds on fight night. Canelo vs cotto I can see because canelo is way bigger than cotto. I like verdejo a lot man, he reminds me of a young Floyd mayweather but with more power

                  For me these are the match ups that have to happen because of sheer rivalry or the amount the money that will be generated.

                  May-Pac (thank God they are going to)
                  Cotto-Canelo (PR-Mexico)
                  Kovalev-Stevenson (Light Heavy Supremacy)
                  Kovalev-Beterbiev (amateur days rivalry)
                  GGG-Ward (two p4p fighter somebody 0 has got to go)
                  Khan-Brook (UK rivalry)
                  Frampton-Quigg (UK rivalry)
                  Rios-Ortiz (genuine bad blood)
                  Rigondeaux-Lomachenko (2 amateur superstars)
                  Groves-Degale 2 (UK rivalry)

                    'Super' fight is a big deal. That's two PPV A-siders going at it and there aren't many of those. In fact there are only three significant names outside of Floyd and Manny: the ginger mexican, the fat mexican, and the metrosexual puerto-rican. So you have Cotto-Canelo for your superfight and that's it.

                    But the great fights that would be a huge deal include:

                    Canelo v Golovkin

                    Golovkin vs Chavez Jr

                    Golovkin v Ward

                    Ward vs Kovalev

                    Kovalev v Stevenson

                    Kovalev v Chavez Jr

                    Froch v Golovkin/Kovalev/Stevenson/Chavez Jr

                    Walters vs Lomachenko

                    Gonzalez v Inoue

                    And even some of those are a stretch.
