List of Marinating Fights

[SAINTSTEVE]

Well look on the flip side. One of the fighters loses, they all of a sudden get called out by everyone and their mama.

Nobody was calling out Bradley after he beat Manny, but they sure were after Manny won the second fight.

You gotta strike while the iron's hot. I remember when everybody wanted to see Broner vs Matthyse or Donaire vs Mares, and what happened? They all tagged on a loss and then we moved on.

I think it depends on the fighter. Broner still pulls solid numbers because he knows how to promote even in losing.

You could take Broner vs. Pacquiao, both fresh off embarrassing losses, and it would still sell big time. After marinating of course

Updated based on last night.

And I don't Inoue since he's going up in weight to avoid Rungvisai - and I don't blame him.

Beterbiev Kovalev, Beterbiev Stevenson, maybe Bivol in there. I know these aren't on the level as the ones you listed but still. Rungvisai Inoue would be great too

[Tony Trick-Pony]

Daniel Jacobs vs. anyone?
Loma vs. Pac at 140
Adonis Stevenson's retirement
Ward vs. Usyk (assuming Ward comes back)
Naoya Inoue vs. Estrada/Rungvisai

Very true.

Victor Ortiz vs Brandon Rios

****s been marinating for almost a decade. They were both prospects fighting on HBO Boxing After Dark when the beef started. Now they're both shot.

A lot happens in 10 years. I still wanna see it.

Inoue would move up to 140 just to get even farher away from Sor Rungvisai. And I can't blame him either.

Well he might as well try and cherry pick Rungvisai now since he has gf problems at the moment.

Ok. I need help on this one.

Is there a single list we can build of currently marinating, basting, cooking fights? You know, fights where despite what the fans want to see, Fighter A or Fighter B feels it's just not the right time? Or Promoter X simply doesn't see money in the fight?

• Porter vs. Spence
• Garcia vs. Spence
• Spence vs. Crawford
• Joshua vs. Wilder
• Fury vs. Joshua
• Golovkin vs. Charlo
• Golovkin vs. Saunders
• Kovalev vs. Stevenson
• Brook vs. Khan
• Rios vs. Ortiz
• Malignaggi vs. McGregor
• Devin Haney vs. Tank Davis
• Tank Davis vs. Lomachenko
• Tank Davis vs. Shakur Stevenson
• Mikey Garcia vs. Lomachenko
• Porter vs. Horn

I missed a lot, any others?

Edited for current relevancy

Juanma vs gamboa lol
