Gorman vs Kownacki

Parker vs Ortiz

Takam vs Joyce

[Baltimore]

1. Wilder/Joshua: unified heavyweight champ in a fight that is gonna be exciting until someone gets KO’d...easy choice for #1. The whole world is gonna stop and watch our sport when this one happens.

2. Spence/Thurman: Thurman has earned the right to call himself the best WW on paper, and Spence seems to be the best by the Eye-Test.

3. Loma/Mikey: would be a huge fight for the legacies of two of the best P4P fighters in the world.

4. Crawford/Manny: I understand Crawford is the favorite now but I’m still a fan of passing the torch type fights. I want Bud to get a big fight (plus I already used Spence and Thurman above and can’t use them twice for this exercise). Plus I want Manny to be in some meaningful fights if he’s gonna continue. What does beating the Alvarado’s of the world do for him? I think he could still beat any WW in the world besides the 3 I’ve already listed.

5. Usyk/Gassiev: awesome that we are getting this one for sure. Shame the WBSS hasn’t been on U.S. tv and getting the recognition it truly deserves.

All 5 of these fights could realistically happen too which is cool, although I wouldn’t bet on Loma/Mikey happening in the next year.

Boxing had a big year last year and I hope we get even more of the fights we want in 2018

I heard that US TV is interested in picking the final up. The date scheduled however is a Friday. Not sure that's Friday in Saudi Arabia or Friday here though.

wilder - joshua is the biggest fight in boxing, and the one i am also most excited about.


lomachenko - garcia

spence - crawford



those are the three best fights in boxing. outisde of those there are other fights that i'd like to see, but they dont' stand out the way those three do.

Ortiz vs Pulev

I was actually going to post the Fury vs Briggs and Ortiz vs Pulev ......though Pulev will avoid any fight that could potentially ruin znother title shot .

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.

1. joshua vs wilder
2. spence vs crawford
3. loma vs mikey garcia
4. ggg vs charlo

5 is a 4 way tie between
pacquiao vs Thurman
kov vs Stevenson
brook vs khan
rios vs Ortiz lol

but since you only want 5, then of those 4 I'd say pacquiao vs Thurman as the 5th

[bluebeam]
