I want Josh Taylor to be involved in a mega-fight. Either Lopez moving up to face him, or Josh moving up to fight Crawford.

I'd like to see one or more of the HW prospects emerge as a force. Some new blood in the top tier.

Def Fury v Joshua and I wouldn't mind seeing Usyk v Joyce either.
Canelo v GGG and maybe Canelo up at cruiser as well as Bivol and Beterbiev
On a Brish note is like to see Eubank JR and Warrington in some big fights, Liam Williams too

Same as ever for me, what I think the weight divisions should be:-

Heavyweight: +95kg
Light-heavyweight: 95kg
Middleweight: 85kg
Welterweight: 75kg
Lightweight: 70kg
Featherweight: 65kg
Bantamweight: 60kg
Strawweight: 55kg

Will never happen.

All those Fury-Joshuas, Crawford-Spences, Beter-Bivols and etc being made.

Sanctioning bodies gets eliminated.

Canelo fights the likes of Saunders, Plant, Charlo or at least Golovkin.

Sulaiman dies.

Bellew too.

Some tasty domestic showdowns - any permutation involving eubank, bjs, ryder and williams at MW ; josh Kelly v conor benn; frampton v conlan; any fights between yarde / buatsi/ johnson / arthur at LHW and of course the big one at HW

Definite retirements from Brook, Price and Selby- they’ve all had fine careers in varying degrees and it’d be a shame to see them taking unnecessary batterings.

And just to satisfy my schadenfreude - humiliating losses for Whyte, Anthony Fowler and any youtubers masquerading as boxers

Oh and less women’s boxing on big cards or at least less hysteria from sky pundits regarding the supposed quality of it.

All the best everyone :TU:

Less Women's boxing and/or women's to go 3 rounds - so hard to get stoppages in 2m.

He’s dying to.... blame Eddie for not giving him the chance, but he’ll get the big fight soon and Galahad for fighting like that. He was atrocious. Just spoiled.

The Death of the WBC, and Bridgerweight.

Nothing else matters. Boxing is on life support until this happens.

How about changing the name of bridgerweight? :lol: :lol:
I don't give a f*ck what you call it. It's a disgrace and so is every fighter who would be willing to compete in it, and any Boxing pundit who would praise it or any network that would air it.

I hate everything about it. I hate Mauricio Sulaiman for creating it.

BJS to lose a tune up fight

Women's boxing to go three rounds

Fury to KO Wilder

Matchroom to start taking their youtube channel more even more seriously.

Blame Eddie? Why not blame Frank as well?
The stats show Galahad landed more jabs and more back hand power shots. If Warrington was confident of winning his mandatory would have happened by now.

Warrington doesn't want it. Since he boxed Barry he's fought the world no.204 and then been on twitter for 14 months.

Why would he? His fans want an exciting fight, I hardly think Sky would approve it and he’s got more than enough money to stay on Twitter as long as he wants.
Ps he’s boxing in February.

Galahad stunk in his challenge to Warrington and lost fair & square.


Anyway, that's got nothing to to do with the must see 2021 fights. I only have three fights on the list :

Beterbiev v Alverez (at light heavy)

Spence v Crawford

Inoue v Gonzalez
