    So far looks like 2016 is a ****ty year for boxing

    Kovalev vs. Pascal 2? Pascal got destroyed in 1st fight.

    Andre Ward likely will duck barerra for a tune up.
    GGG has to fight tureano. EHH fight.
    Porter vs thurman has yet to even be announced.

    Pacquiao vs Bradley 3? Like really? After winning 2 fights easily there is absolutely no interest in a 3rd fight. He should have fought Crawford or Broner.

    Crawford vs Lundy? Should have fought Postol!
    Khan=inactive, Maidana= inactive and possibly done.

    154? No action in that division. I dont know why Lara isnt fighting the Charlo brothers or Andrade.

    I am hearing Lemeuix wont fight Stevens. womp womp.

    Canelo will likely fight Rosado and on PPV. Whos gonna buy that? Not me.

    Womp, Womp.

    Only fight im slightly interested to see is Garcia vs Guerrero.

    The only fight you're excited to see is a mismatch?

        Of course, we're only 12 days in.

        Let's give it a bit more time, shall we?

          I don't mind he slow start. We have A promising year ahead of us.

          Ramirez vs Abraham
          Possible fight between Roman Gonzalez vs Carlos Cuadras
          Rocky Martinez vs Salido III/ Berchelt
          Francisco Vargas vs any top super featherweight
          Linares vs Zlaticanin
          Like you said, Porter vs Thurman
          A mildly interesting Garcia vs Guerrero
          Saul vs GGG
          Frampton vs Quigg

          We have some quality fights thrown in the mix and we are barely in the second week of 2016. I think we will be fine.

            ya it always seems to feel that way in january tho every year. But there is no doubt boxing has seemed asleep at the wheel for a good year now. say what u will about manny and floyd but they were good for the sport even tho people didnt think so. manny is about to fight but its a fight no one is excited about at all

                frampton-quigg is set and linares-zlaticanin and thurman-porter seem to be just waiting on dates/venues

                the wilder-szpilka card could be fun too

                  Hopefully the early part of the year can be used to set up bigger fights later on.

                  Canelo and GGG could have 'routine' fight before meeting each other. Maybe the same with Ward/Kovalev?

                  I know i'm in a minority, but i'm interested to see what Haye gets up too. So.. he gets the ball rolling this month.
                  If Garcia gets past Guerrero, his next fight should be a legit WW test hopefully.

                  Really looking forward to Quigg Vs Frampton. From a domestic point of view, i'm looking forward to Matthews Vs Flannagan also.
                  Afolabi Vs Huck and Kovalev Vs Pascal are good 'fillers' also IMO.

                  I agree, it's kind of a somewhat slow-ish start. I'm pretty hopeful of a good year in 2016 though.

                  Mayweather is gone and Manny will be soon. So 2016 is the year a new face is 'up for grabs'. I think we will see a few guys willing to step up and try grab that mantel.
