2. Ward-Kovalev 2. (They have unfinished business)
3. GGG vs Canelo (If GGG beats Jacobs then this mega fight needs to happen this year)Comment

Nope.The most important fight of 2017 will definetely be Golovkin vs. Jacobs. There are 3 good reasons why this fight is so extremely important:
1 - Both are hardhitting fighters who don't defend too well. So it will be an explosive and action-packed brawl, whoever the winner turns out to be.
2 - It almost feels unreal, but finally, Golovkin is facing a good opponent. The embarassing days of arguing about Golovkin's weak signature wins (Lemieux, Brook and Murray) are over. Now, if Golovkin beats Jacobs, we will finally have a good signature win for him that we can proudly pronounce: "He defeated Daniel Jacobs". No one will be able to say that Jacobs was a weak opponent.
3 - If Golovkin loses in this first real test of his career, then the entire boxing community will lose their interest in him and find a new white hope to root for. Golovkin is the favourite to win and I expect him to win, but the stakes are high.
No matter what, all of us should thank Golovkin and Jacobs for giving us this amazing fight. I can't wait. Let's respect the winner and not make excuses, as the winner will have elevated his legacy with a new signature win
Two much bigger fights in 2017: Kovalev/Ward II and Fury/Wilder.
Even Lomachenko/Salido II is more intriguing than GGG/Jacobs and I look forward to it.Comment

GGG - Jacobs... yea, this fight important but not the most important. Klitschko vs Joshua / Thurman vs Garcia / Sergey vs Ward(maybe) more important!Comment
