    I think it will be the biggest fight of the year. I would personally rather see GGG fight Canelo and Spence fight Crawford but those fights probably won't happen this year and this fight will happen very soon.

      No, I don't think so. It depends which criterion you are using to judge 'biggest', of course. If it is revenue generated, it will be dwarfed by any fight with either Joshua or Canelo. If it is which fight stands tall in the minds of fans, come the end of the year there will be myriad other fights that stand clearer in the consciousness, if only courtesy of that which is more recent in the memory.

      I also think we'll get some kind of super-fight out of left field later in the year in another division. Maybe Spence's come-back. Maybe Berbetiev unifies. There's always something you don't expect.

        well its going to probably flop big time so no not the biggest and biggest in terms of most important maybe but fury has looked like garbage since his comeback so its hard to really say wilder is beating someone really dangerous. hes only dangerous because he should have beaten wilder in the first fight but thats looking more and more flooky now that we see his current level. if fury wins well that just proves wilder is not good which most people suspect already given his weak opposition and ducking. the biggest fight will probably be joshua vs canelo no testing of course

          Fury always raises his game against the best in the division. He hardly looked great in his two fights before Wilder the first time. He raised his game massively against Wlad. He'll be at his best against Wilder and I think he will win by KO.

            Certainly not numbers wise. Hey i might be wrong but numbers wise Joshua pulev will smash it. But that isn't a bigger fight at all its just that Joshua is the sports cash cow these days. It's just the way it is.

              Yes

              The most skilled heavyweight in Fury against the hardest hitting in Wilder. Iam more excited by this than Joshua v Fury/Wilder.

                If it does then something is truly wrong at its core with boxing.

                The most skilled/hardest hitting fighters should generate the best numbers not image etc.

                Hence thats what boxing truly embodies for me.

                  In 2020 it depends on who you ask.

                    Well in the Fury Wilder fight one of them has very little power and the other one has very little skill. So maybe you have a point. The most skilled and hardest hitting you said. Well both these fighters are lacking that stuff.

                    The best numbers are generated by the best promoted fighters who happen to be able to back up their hype. Wilder has been seriously poorly managed or his last fight wouldnt of bombed. He is exciting and he does hit damn hard but the numbers dont lie. Without a serious dance partner he bombs.
