      Good list.. But very wishful. We've had a very good year and we've still got mega fights to look forward to like GGG v Canelo, Rigo v Loma, Wilder v Ortiz.. Man we will not have another year like this in boxing.. Don't be surprised if 2018 sucks because this year we just got lucky.. The year started off with a **** with Degale vs Jack in February.. How often do we get brilliant unification like that so early in the year?

        Nah, people were saying that in 2016 (how can it get better?).I've seen this **** play out before (I come from the 70's). I personally think boxing is on the come-up. Consider the one thing we continue to hear from cats my age: "It's like it was back in the day". In other words, PPV is played out. 0's are scrutinized. There are commitments world-wide from network stations. I personally feel we took a dip and we just bent over for a period, but now we have some old heads whom have seen both periods and recognize what works and what doesn't work. No sir, I think things are only getting better from here on out. At least I hope and will set the bar higher than it's been for a while.

          I hope so.. There seems to be more competition with Arum getting ESPN deal.. Shaefer doing his ringstar boxing.. Boxnation partnering with BT and ITV getting onto boxing.. All I want is Wilder vs AJ and I'll be happy.. It's the true mega international fight left to happen and it will put boxing on the headlines of all sports.. Heavyweight fights have always been the biggest and most lucrative boxing matches.

            Heh-heh, understood. I guess I'm looking out for this sport we all love and after the recent TR/ESPN deal, he was stating how his
            "preference" for exposure is "NBA followed by boxing". I'm sure we all realize this man knows little if anything about boxing, however, if we want to really propel this sport then we need the support of talking heads such as himself.

            Said differently, for all intents and purposes, he's gonna talk this **** now, so here's hoping this man at least puts some effort into educating himself while he has the mic. Boxing is such a niche community, the only opinion we respect is the educated opinion.

              Here's my semi reasonable list:

              Lomachenko vs. Garcia
              Spence vs. Thurman
              AJ vs. Ortiz
              Kovalev vs. Barrerra
              Stevenson vs. Jack
              Berchelt vs. Lomachenko
              Garcia vs. Linares
              Matthysse again

                Ditto...I realize my wish list is just that, but if this fight doesn't happen, it's certainly a step backward.
                p.s. Wilder is knocking out ALL heavyweights. Real ****.
