    The 2 I highlighted are not A level.

    Khan fighting Canelo should be on there though.

    Crawford fighting Gamboa and vice versa.

      I would consider Lara A level, the reason I didn't put Crawford Gamboa is because of the size difference. That advantage was so big to crawford that it would put the "Danger zone" of Gamboa from A-level to B-level.

        lol, how can you say Lara wasn't A level then say Khan should be on there?

            Donaire was past his prime when he fought Rigo. He wasn't as fast, wasn't as explosive and he had become completely dependent on his left hook. Before 2012 he was a much more rounded boxer and counter-puncher.

              I think Santa-Cruz/Frampton has to go in there.
