    No disrespect to your thread but your question is part of the overall problem with boxing. Which the biggest fight not being the BEST fight.

    Cotto vs Canelo unfortunately is the "biggest" fight money wise for the fighters but IMO the best fights would be either Stevenson vs Kovalev or Ward vs GGG. Those fights should be getting more push to get made over Cotto vs Canelo.

        Cotto vs Canelo has the potential of >1M PPV

        Stevenson vs Kov

        and I personally love to see:

        Cotto vs FMJr. II

        Loma vs Rigo

        Loma vs Verdejo (in about 2 years from now)

          I disagree with a lot of you all about the ppv #s for Cotto vs Canelo. Its not a crossover fight IMO to reach 800K - 1M its have to be a crossover fight bringing fans of all races and I don't see this fight doing enough of that for it to reach those high #s

            Yeah it is sad especially considering he does'nt deserve the boring label he is stuck with. He is a treat to watch fight in my opinon.

              If we are talking in terms of PPV sales, then i think Cotto Vs Alvarez is the main one by a long shot.
              That fight is also a good fight for the fans though, so it's a win/win situation.

              Brook Vs Khan is a really big money fight over here.

                there is no question the biggest fight not involving those 2 is cotto vs canelo no doubt about it nothing else would come close it would be entertaining as well but the fight i still want to see is ggg vs ward in my opinion thats the fight there is also stevenson vs kovalov but team kovalov ruined the dream for that fight to ever happen. imo that was the death nail to that fight both fighters are getting old they are not young and its obvious main events never had any intention of fighting stevenson after he left hbo it was all talk to sell their fighter. There are still a lot of dream fights for fans i would like to see ward kovalav as well can add that one in there but i would rather see ward ggg by a long shot makes more sense as kovalav is gigantic compared to ward. well see but there are a ton of fights that can be mad unfortunately hbo is getting in the way of making most these fights happen.

                  id like to see canelo vs ggg more then cotto ggg but it seems like gbp is avoiding ggg like the plague. i just hope the cotto canelo winner fights ggg there are so many fights that can be made and it seems like the main thing keeping them all from happening is gbp top rank and hbo but then again what else is new

                    While I think Cotto can beat Canelo ..... is Canelo who I think that has a real shot of beating GGG and in a dominant way.



                    As far as entertaining fights

                    Cotto - Canelo
                    Khan - Broner
                    Provo - Brandon
                    Mathyse - Brandon
                    Mathyse - ____________
                    GGG - Canelo
                    GGG - Ward
                    Bradley -Crawford


                    Some pending
