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.
So would be Wlad vs Wilder.
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.

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.

The sentiment here is correct. How can we know a bout's significance until the performance and result?
Amir winning that fight would drastically change it's significance.
