If you were the ultimate Kingpin promoter of boxing..?
For myself, it'd be...
Benevidez vs The winner of Bivol-Beterbiev
Madrimov vs Bohachuk
Crawford vs Tsyzu
Boots Ennis vs Sebastian Fundora
Lomachenko vs Inoue
Tank Davis vs Jack Catterall
Frank Martin vs Josh Taylor
Shakur Stevenson vs Devon Haney
Caleb Plant vs Big Charlo
Bakole vs Winner of Usyk-Fury II
A.J vs Parker
Zhang vs Fury (Regardless of Fury's second bout result versus Usyk)
Usyk vs Andy Ruiz (Regardless of his 2nd bout result vs Fury)
What bouts would you make...?

Some interesting matchups there.
Not sure if I'd want to see the AJ v Parker chess match again and I'm not sure whether Usyk v Ruiz would be any more interesting for similar reasons.
Lomachenko v Inoue would be epic but they'd need to get on with it before Loma's size advantage is completely wiped out by the age gap.
Benavidez v anyone is ok, but against Bivol or Beterbiev it won't be the overreach it would have been a few years back, especially as Beterbiev is surely now near the end of an outstanding career.
Benavidez has certainly had his doubters but so far he's answered all the questions that have been asked.
As for Fury, I can't see him taking anymore risks after the rematch with Usyk, if it happens, it already took an enormous amount of money just to get his signature for those fights.
Only a fight with Joshua could get Riyadh Season interested in promoting him again.
It's a real pity August looks like bit of a lull, but really it's only 5 weeks or so before it kicks off again with AJ v Dubois.
