-Canelo vs GGG -Thurman vs Spence
-Santa Cruz vs Russell
2017/2018 is likely a better bet for that fight, tbh; with Floyd leaving the sport, 2016 will largely be about determining settling who the new top dog at 147 is supposed to be (with the rumors of Pacquiao-Bradley3 in the offing, all of Floyd's belts are literally up for grabs).
Thurman gets elevated to WBA champion (opening up a path to the wba title for Erroll Spence Jr; a wonder how that works, lol), Danny Garcia likely stands tall as the new WBC champion, Kell Brook stays as the IBF champion (i still think he beats Amir Khan, handily).
Garcia: vs Guerrero(PBC), vs Ray Robinson[assuming he beats Duva's fighter in January](PBC), vs Sammy Vasquez Jr (SHO/PBC)
Thurman: vs Porter(PBC), vs. Mosley(ugh...tbd), vs Berto(PBC)
Brook: vs Bizier(SHO or ESPN), vs Khan(SkyBoxOffice/SHO), vs Diego Chaves (SkySports/SHO).
In 2017, you run through the Brook/Thurman/Garcia/Maidana faceoffs (Maidana using all of 2016 to get back fighting fit makes the most sense to me).... and then you start mixing Erroll Spence into that mix.
