Will we see rivalries like pac/jmm morales / barrera in the near future?

    Yes, Inoue vs Gonzales could be a classic rivarly starting from 2017.

    Hopefully Inoue can get some fights on HBO this year to build it up for when Gonzales moves up.

      Frampton vs Quigg has rivalry written all over it.
      We could have a few rivalries but not many at elite level. I could see someone cashing in a Rios/ Provodnikov trilogy. Also could see Provodnikov- Matthysse 2 or Matthysse -Rios. All would be good. You could also have Andrade, charlo brothers, Julian Williams, and Lara fighting over and over. Skilled guys, but no one really Knows them.

        Yeah, unfortunately today all the close fights between well known fighters are boring or just don't live up to expectations. Even Mattysee vs Ruslan lacked something in terms of excitement but that could be because I went into the fight with such high expectations

        LSC vs Mares was another fight that just wasn't as good in the ring as it looked on paper, atleast for me.

          Best Heavyweight On the Planet Is In the NFL

          Never say never but I doubt it. The rivalries you mentioned produced such great fights at such a high skill level that we'll be really lucky to see anything like that again.
          Another great rivalry was Rafael Marquez and Israel Vazqez, which produced some epic wars.
          Maybe the next great rivalry will involve Russian or Eastern European fighters. We could get lucky
