Brehs, let's talk about what is the best boxing match-up out there

[LauderdaleBoss]

It's easily Krusher vs. Superman. That's the biggest fight in boxing right now.

Nothing else comes close at the moment. I won't count Canelo/Cotto until both win their next fights (which isn't a given)

but, yeah those 2 potential fights are the biggest in the sport right now.

Everything else is either a real good fight, or a potential great fight that needs to cook some more.

 

[Remote]

AB vs Khan
AB vs Pacquiao
AB vs DSG
AB vs Thurman


Thurman vs Maidana
Thurman vs Brook
Thurman vs Khan
Thurman vs Bradley

Rigondeaux moving up to beat up on the 140 bums

Rigondeaux gotta be the only fighter more boring to watch than Wladimir Klitschko/Mayweather.

I still want see Matthyse and Maidana get it on in the ring.

you about to open a can of worms with the rigo slander lol

 

[Willy Waffle]

Swift vs AB
Matthysse vs Rios
Provodnikov vs Rios
Kovalev vs
Canelo vs Cotto
Canelo vs GGG
Wlad vs Wilder

toss up between these 2.

personally i feel wlad-wilder has the potential to be something big for the sport if Wilder can keep knocking guys out or look impressive.

Nah, two reasons it won't be.

Ward ain't got Floyds stamina or chin. So if he gets tapped he's going down. Second reason, everything G3 throws has some Effect. whether it's body punches or upstairs. I really like that fight.

Another difference between GGG-award and PBF-PAC is GGG has an extensive amateur background. Pac is/was great but GGG is refined and cerebral. Not as good a boxer as Ward, but the distance between them as boxers is not as big as it is for FLOYD and Pac.

People point out GGGs power, but don't get him confused with just being a power puncher. He has great control of range, knows how to set traps, nice stiff jab, and has very good footwork. A bit heavy on the feet, but doesn't take unnecessary steps. Sort of like Frazier with how he can close distance so fast without being really light or quick on his feet.

You think GGG is more skilled than PAC?

Let Canelo beat Cotto in sept then fight a gimmie on regular HBO in the winter....sets up Canelo vs GGG cinco de mayo 16'

Wilder needs 1 more big win a fury or povetkin...then him N Wlad would be huge

Agreed

 

[Jello Biafra]

You mix and match these 12 fighters (with catchweights as a caveat) and you are almost guaranteed to get some entertaining bouts:


Danny Garcia
Keith Thurman
Lucas Matthysse
Terrence Crawford
Kell Brook
Amir Khan
Shaun Porter
Robert Guerrero
Marcos Maidana
B.A. Bradley
Adrien Broner
Ruslan Provodnikov

For shyts and giggles feed him Briggs.

 

[theflyest]

140-147
Khan vs Thurman
Khan vs Broner

Provodnikov vs Rios
Provodnikov vs Maidana

154-160
GGG vs Canelo
GGG vs Cotto

Kirkland vs Cotto

168-175
Have them all fight each other (already got Kovalev/Pascal out the way)

Ward
Kovalev
Stevenson
Pascal

 

[patscorpio]

if rios-provodnikov is ever made and it sure as hell as possible...it will be the end of someone and i have the perfect smiley to debut for that occassion

 

[GREENandYELLOW]

These would probably be the matchups that would get me the most just hearing they were made:
Kovalev-Stevenson
Kovalev-Beterbiev
GGG-Canelo
Canelo-Cotto
Provodnikov-Rios
Bradley-Provodnikov 2
Matthysse-Maidana
Lomachenko-Rigondeaux
Klitschko-Wilder

 

[nomoreneveragain]

I still want see Matthyse and Maidana get it on in the ring.

Would they agree to fight each other?

Maidana would just walk into 3-4 punch combos

 

[Reggie]

Kovalev vs Ward GGG vs Ward Stevenson vs Ward. Don't know what is up with Ward's management. He finally has some legit comp in the two surrounding weight classes around him and now is the time to get those type of fights done.
