Comments Thread For: 10 Fights We Want in 2021

I would really like to see navarette vs shakur Stevenson that's one that could be a barn burner.

The main fights I want to see are total unification's apart from the obvious one's on the list I'd add Inoue/Oubaali & Briedis/Makabu.

Definitely not a "we" list. That's a personal endeavor.

Very much so. Not sure who the "we" is referring to?!

Iota??!!

Not worried about Canelo vs Beterbiev if he's unifying 168.

Fury vs Joshua seems very possible to me next year, huge huge fight.

Spence vs Crawford is a must see but I don't think we'll see it, Spence will probably move up to 154 before fighting him, unless Bud moves to 154 and goes PBC i don't see this fight happening.

Alvarez is not gonna fight outside 168 for a very long time according to Reynoso so we might just dismiss that Beter fight forever as he is 35, made his pro debut at 185 and fought all his amateur at CW.

I don't think Plant would fight Benavidez before fighting Canelo.

GGG is not gonna fight Charlo PERIOD

So basically he picks and chooses fighters he knows he can beat. Fair enough.

He picks and chooses, correct...all A-side throughout history do that. It's up to the opponent to beat him or don't take the fight (like Plant did).

This. And to his credit he miscalculated only twice: with Floyd and GGG.

No need for Artur Beterbiev-Saul Alvarez...Alvarez is not a 175 lber, he said so himself.

People calling for that fight just want to see him beat. Alvarez is a 168 lber now. The only reason he fought Kovalev is because it was a easy payday for a named wounded fighter.

Only casual know who Beterbiev is, not worth it.

Let's not present Alvarez as some kind of philanthropist who gave Kovalev an opportunity to earn a pension. The ONLY reason he fought Kovalev is because Kovalev is a prime name in 175lb and he is washed up. Still good enough to beat up B-level fighters, but clearly well past his best. Canelo is an excellent fighter, but this paper resume building that he does by picking on elite fighters who are 35 year olds will forever take credits from Canelo in my book. Casuals won't care what paper resume says as long as it says something. Let's be honest, Canelo's current version wouldn't have beaten Kovalev of 2014 at 175. Timing is everything in this sport.

Otherwise, I agree that 175lb is not his weight - he shouldn't go above 168.

I would love to see Canelo fight Billy Joe Saunders
