    What is the best potential matchup for remainder of 2015?

    Looking for opinions on which matchups are most sought after for the rest of this year.

    While personally I think Froch/GGG would the most stacked possible matchup, there are several others I've heard about that are debatably better...
    69
    Saul Alvarez vs Miguel Cotto
    37.68%
    26
    Carl Froch vs Gennady Golovkin
    27.54%
    19
    Wladimir Klitschko vs Tyson Fury
    8.70%
    6
    Kell Brook vs Amir Khan
    21.74%
    15
    Guillermo Rigondeaux vs Leo Santa Cruz
    1.45%
    1
    Other or Not looking forward to any
    2.90%

        Sounds like I should have done some more asking around before choosing the poll options! Ward/Kovalev and Lomachenko/Walters definitely deserve to be choices.

        Thurman/Maidana would be huge but idk if Maidana can make the weight in time.

        I heard about Roman/Estrada rematch before but idk if there is really much faith that Estrada can win a rematch. Or at least I wouldn't think so.

        Manny/Marquez 5 is problematic given Marquez's age/injury issues but otherwise I'd totally watch that.

        EDIT: Obviously Wilder vs Fury or Klitschko is an excellent fight but I put Fury/Klitschko since that's the mandatory defense at the moment.

          Cotto vs Canelo will win the Fight Of The Year award for 2015.

            After the way maidana has blown up he would get ktfo making weight for 147. Walters/Loma is an awesome matchup but I got Loma getting sparked in 9

                Klitschko vs. Fury is the fight I'm most eagerly anticipating.

                It's a very intriguing matchup. For the first time in years, Klitschko will be in with an opponent who has a good chance of beating him.

                I think it's a 60-40 fight, with Klitschko still being the more likely to win, but Fury with an advantage of youth and size having a real chance.

                  Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs TBA


                  Hope it's Danny Garcia cuz his time has come to fulfill his destiny and come to rest in the spot of #49
