Which of these fights taking place at the back end of this year are you most looking forward to? #LazySundayBoxingPoll

Boxing fans are way more excited about Taylor vs Prograis, who are both relatively unknown compared to Canelo or Kovalev.
They dont see the Kovalev fight as an exciting fight since Kovalev looked extremely vulnerable vs a nobody like Yarde, who almost knocked him out, adding that is the recent knockout loss to Eleider Alvarez who is no big puncher. Kovalev is in the last stage of his career and never held a healthy livestyle drinking and partying alot.
Boxing fans wanted to see the trilogy fight between GGG and Canelo since most boxing fans were extremely dissatisfied with the scoring of the first 2 bouts, where the majority of both boxing fans and experts had GGG winning the first fight convincingly while the Kazakh edged out the second meeting in a very close fight, or at worst could have been scored a draw.
DAZN wanted the trilogy, boxing fans and experts wanted a decisive fight between GGG and Canelo, but Canelo who knows that GGG is still his toughest opponent and he could easily lose the rubbermatch, chose to avoid GGG once again, thinking that Kovalev, who looked extremely vulnerable in his last couple fights, is the easier fight, betting odds for the matchup will most probably reflect that.
