    You can make 5 fights using 10 fighters in 2018 what do you make?

    Ok, so pretty clear. You can't use a fighter more than once. I'd have picked Usyk-Gassiev but it's already made thankfully.

    Estrada-Rungvisai II - Don't really like immediate re-matches but I felt this was excellent and so close and the way Estrada finished it warrants a re-match.

    Joshua-Wilder - Huge fight, two punchers and it will be edge of your seat until it's over.

    Bivol-Kovalev - Seems a natural and would set up the winner to a possible match-up below.

    Gvozdyk-Jack - This will have meant Jack has rid us over Stevenson and couldn't be anything but entertaining. Also sets up the winner for the winner of the above nicely.

    Crawford-Spence - Perhaps Thurman feels like the next natural fight in the division but this is the better fight IMO.

      Agree with you on:

      Joshua/Wilder

      Would make:
      Spence/Thurman @ 147 The fight at WW right now. The 2 most established guys.

      Nietes/Sor 118-Nietes is solid and looks like he can easily go to 115. This would be an amazingly brutal slugfest, especially if it goes to the late rounds.

      Loma/Mikey@135- 2 top 7 p4p fighters. really good contrast in styles. closest thing to a 50/50 fight we have.

      Tie : Crawford/Manny @147 or Bivol/Kov @175: Crawford IMO got cheated out of this fight when Manny was the WBO ww champ. he deserves the big PPV fight where he can bludgeon Manny and charge into the spotlight.

      Bivol/Kov-the way they both fight would make for a great fight.

        I'd like to see Nietes-Higa before moving up but he's not got that much time left. Nietes would be my choice for the winner of Sor-Estrada II provided he's either defeated Higa or bedded in at 115 with at least one good opponent like Arroyo.

        Pacquaio I just want to go away but seeing him get KO'd again would be cool and Crawford deserves a larger audience.

        Spence-Thurman should be this year and is one of the most logical matches in Boxing. I do have a concern that the styles don't mesh well and Thurman fights too conservatively which isn't a good look for him but I consider it a closer fight than most so I want it a.s.a.p.

          Good point about Nietes Higa. Nietes does have several good fights at 115. But Nietes is like 35 so I would like to see it now. I thought the powers that be made the mistake of doing Gonzalez/Sor instead of Inoue/Gonzalez when they had the chance don't wan t that to happen with Nietes.

          Crawford/Manny was just me being me. Obviously Bivol/Kov is better. I do however want to see 1 of the 2 best (#1 IMO) p4p fighter fight this year.

            #1 Joshua vs Wilder - undefeated HW's to decide who's number 1 & to unify all the belts like some lord of the rings sh^t
            #2 Thurman vs Spence - best two guys at 147 in my eyes
            #3 Usyk vs Gassiev - been wanting this fight before the WBSS was a thing
            #4 Canelo/GGG winner vs Charlo - feel like Charlo is the baddest cat at 160 & I'd love to see the winner in May take him on
            #5 Loma vs Mikey G - think this is a bigger fight more than it'll be a competitive fight (think Loma schools Mikey), but this feels like it'd be a big & important fight for 135lbs
