    Heavyweight Matchups that would be nice in 2020

    First the obvious: Any or all of these
    Fury - Wilder
    Wilder - Joshua
    Joshua - Fury

    Then some fun matchups
    White - Kownacki
    Ruiz - Ortiz
    Usyk - Pulev
    Hrgovic - Joyce

    I've always wanted to see Hughie "fists of" Fury vs Kevin "the punching bag" Johnson. Fight of the year contender on paper.

      I doubt if Fury vs. Wilder 2 will ever happen and Joshua vs. Pulev is boring, so let's go with:
      Wilder vs. Kownacki
      Hrgovic vs. Ruiz
      Joshua vs. Usyk

        Joshua v. Wilder is the one everyone wants. The hype for that one would be out of this world. The likeliness of that happening is slim to none. Deontay dodging and Anthony establishing himself as a top HW again.

          I'd like to see Parker get that rematch with Whyte.

            Wilder needs to fight either Fury or Joshua or both in 2020. He is the one who said Kings should fight Kings.

            White really does come across as a whiny boxer. If he wants a title shot, he needs to do 2 things: Earn the challenger spot in the rankings, which he has done, and earn the challenger spot in the eyes of the fans, which he has not done. The fight is not compelling. If White can beat Kownacki or some other exciting fighter, he can build his following.

              I know that Wilder vs. Fury would be the most exciting match but, as I said, I doubt it will ever happen.

              Having watched Whyte vs Wach I daresay Kownacki would destroy Whyte sooner than he destroyed Washington.

                How about Kownacki vs Ruiz in the battle of the baby faces?

                    Hrgovic vs Bakole

                    Joyce vs DDD

                    Hunter vs Jennings

                    Kownacki vs Breazeale

                    Whyte vs Ortiz

                    Ruiz vs Parker 2

                    Ajagba vs Arias



                    The top 3 guys are booked with guys so its a waste to include them






                    I'd go with some of these that are realistic to make ,many matches listed on here aren't really possible.
