if you were a PBC matchmaker...

[El Tejano]

Which 5 logical fights would you make in 2016 ?

[about.thousands]

Khan vs. Anybody

Spence vs Aaron Martinez

Fonfara vs. Bieterbiev

DeGale vs. Jack

Jermall Charlo vs. Andrade

[about.thousands]

But with every fight you have to take the sanctioning bodies into consideration. Can this champ fight this guy that's not ranked by our body for a non-unification fight? Will he lose his ranking of he chooses to fight another fighter that's not ranked by the same sanctioning body if both aren't champs?

[Eff Pandas]

Stevenson vs Beterbiev (their promoter, GYM, has made it known he has no intention of letting them fight doe, I think this would be a great fight)

DeGale vs Jack (Abraham has too much history @ 168 to not be considered the best guy there til he retires or gets beat, but this would be for the #2 spot in the division)

Thurman/Porter winner vs Garcia (assuming Garcia wins I think this will be the next big fight @ 147 & could be the fight that crowns the next #1 guy post-Manny's soon to be retirement)

Russell vs Santa Cruz v Selby (some matchup of these guys should be in the pipeline next year I'd bet)

Something @ 154 with some combo of Lara vs Charlo 1 vs Charlo 2 vs Trout vs Williams or I wouldn't even mind seeing Willie Nelson in there cuz I think he's a high level sleeper in the division, gots to be happening next year. Theres probably 3 or 4 big fights in this mix that'd be interesting & could be made next year. Lara vs Charlo 1 (or whatever Charlo don't train at the same gym), Lara vs Williams, Charlo 1 or 2 vs Trout, Charlo 1 or 2 vs Williams, Trout vs Williams or Nelson vs any of them. This feels like a neglected weight division by PBC/Haymon where so much could be happening, but absolutely nothing is happening.

Honorable Mentions:

Broner vs Peterson
Spence vs Vazquez

I'd also like to request a brother vs brother super card cuz PBC gots a bunch of brother fights to make.

Jermell Charlo vs Jermall Charlo
Andre Dirrell vs Anthony Dirrell
McJoe Arroyo vs McWilliams Arroyo (don't think McWilliams is with PBC yet, but he is with a promoter who deals with Haymon)
Brian Castano vs Alan Castano

[HanzGruber]

garcia v khan
porter v thurman
j rock v charlo
rances/broner v figueroa
russel vs leo

[The Conundrum]

Thurman-Porter
Khan-Garcia II
Fonfara-Cleverly II
DeGale-Jack
McDonnell-Payano

[The Conundrum]

Figueroa-Burns II. Great fight. Burns won. Figueroa got a gift. Should be a rematch

[soul_survivor]

Which 5 logical fights would you make in 2016 ?

Khan v Porter (strictly speaking PBC so no Brook)

Thurman v Alexander/Martinez

Spence v some guy at 154 because I think he is boiling down to 147

Charlo v Andrade

Trout v Quillin

I feel the PBC shouldn't worry about specific fighters, they should just keep making household names out of previously unknown fighters like Michael Zerafa, Eric Molina, Johann Duhaupas and Tommy Karpency.
