Pffft!..this is boxing. -
You' be a fool not to say GGG v Canelo, because Fury has to win a rematch wth Wlad first, which isn't a given by any stretch.Comment

-Fury-Wilder, and that's without hardly any doubt, tbh; the fight makes too much sense for all parties involved for it not to happen. (Wilder still has his WBC mandatory, likely to be followed with the Charles Martin fight, and Fury still has the Klitschko rematch, in addition to his WBA mandatory, so the actual bout may have to wait till Winter 2016/Spring 2017.
-Alvarez will have his fight in May, vacate the WBC 160 belt shortly thereafter (he's not going to give Golovkin an ounce above his preferred 155 weight, let alone give up more than 10%-15% of the fight pot to Golovkin), will eyeball a Cotto rematch for Mexican Independence Day weekend in September (or even the possibility of targeting WBO 154 champ, from the UK, Liam Smith), and will likely close out the year with another soft fight (100k fans at Estadio Azteca, broadcast on HBO, would be a decent way to close the year).
Golovkin makes his IBF mandatory defense, gets handed the WBC 160 belt and makes a WBC defense, and MAYBE closes out the year with a Jacobs fight on Showtime.
Alvarez likely doesn't commit to going to the full 160 until his May 2017 bout.Comment

on paper it should be Canelo v GGG however Fury and Wilder both seem to want to fight each other where as it's quite clear that Canelo and Oscar want to duck the hell out of GGG I mean 90-10 split ... 155 pounds etc etc these are not the sounds of guys who want to go through with a fight.Comment
