Which one would you prefer to see ? Why ?

Spence v Crawford for me.

To be fair, they're all genuine superfights, but 147 has been smoking for years & there just hasn't been enough superfights there.

Shawn Porter seems willing & able to take on the best & Thurman does too, but he fights so infrequently that he's causing an obstruction for the likes of Spence who wants the big fights against the big dogs.

Spence v Crawford is a mouth-watering prospect, because both of them are so good & both are bang in their primes.

I won't be against any of these fights. And all of them will be competetive, but Golovkin-Alvarez, Spence-Crawford and Garcia-Lomachenko are likely to be more competetive, than Joshua-Wilder and Usyk-Gassiev.

And what about the most competetive? Well...

If my theory about Canelo learning GGG in the 1 st and coming out more engaging in the 2nd will be correct, than the fight will be pretty clear in Canelo's favour.

Spence and Crawford both are highly skilled technicians, while Crawford is a more elusive boxer, so I see him taking the decision pretty clearly also.

So Garcia-Lomachenko is likely to be the most competetive. I favour Lomachenko due to his speed and agility, but Garcia himself isn't some clumsy fella, furthermore he has very big chances of landing and he really has power, so his one clean punch can at least spoil a lot for Lomachenko.

I agree on most points with you except the one about GGG vs Canelo. If Canelo engages more in the rematch the fight will indeed be pretty clear one. GGG will win with KO

Garcia vs Lomachenko is my vote too.

Can't choose.

Just bring 'em on.

All "superfights" should be considered highly competitive, or else why would they be compelling and anticipated?

On occasion, they do turn out to be a stinker or a blowout, but I'll take my chances with any of them.

Unfortunately, most won't happen. At least not in 2018.

Mikey vs. Lomachenko. Easily, they're the two best boxers currently. Mikey has power in both fists and is an insane fighter at 135 lbs. Lomachenko is all around the most skilled fighter in the world today. Easily, these are boxing's two best fighters currently.

The rest don't compare.

Golovkin/Canelo is the most exciting, though.

..I don't think in the categories of looking for the one and only...all being competitive...looking forward to seeing them..

Stevenson/Jack should be on here but my vote is Usyk-Bredis.
