True, and it would be huge, but I have to be honest, I'm hoping that Wlad retires or loses for the health of the sport.ikorolev wrote:So would be Wlad vs Wilder.Tanzio wrote:The most significant fight of 2016 will be late year in the HW div, IMO. It will come off of the handful of fights happening by July. A couple of several possibilities are Fury v Wilder / Povetkin, and Joshua / Martin v Ortiz / Wilder / Fury.
If Fury can get by WKlit and Wilder can get by Povetkin and the fight can be made it would be monstrous. That is a lot of ifs / ands though.

Pacquiao vs Bradley 3... Waste of time, why bother?

Canelo v Khan may turn out to be significant; even if Khan loses - if he puts in a good strong showing he may well come out of the bout better regarded than when he went in.

Amir winning that fight would drastically change it's significance.
