Are we going to see these matches in 2016? Here is the list
1) Wilder vs Fury
2) Kovalev vs Stevenson
3) GGG vs Canelo
4) Khan vs Brook
5) Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko

I honestly think we will see GGG-canelo. That is the only one though. I think we will eventually see wilder-fury but not this year.

Why are so few people on this forum capable of producing literate titles for their threads?

I'm guessing that there are some people on here for whom English is not their mother tongue. Ever thought of that?

1) Wilder vs Fury

No. Deontay Wilder is a coward and a fraud and he'll never fight someone like Fury.

2) Kovalev vs Stevenson

Love to see it, but it's not going to happen.

3) GGG vs Canelo

Possible for September, but I wouldn't bet on it.

4) Khan vs Brook

Khan knows he'd be badly beaten and humiliated by Brook, and so will avoid him forever

5) Rigondeaux vs Lomachenko

No. Rigo doesn't want it, he'd sooner continue fighting journeymen like his next opponent. And Arum hates Rigo, and so he wouldn't make the fight anyway.

Though I doubt "Davidreed" is one of them. Probably just a brainfart - we've all been there.

Anyway:

1. Possibly. The money and the interest are there. Both guys have other commitments / options though.
2. Feels slightly closer than it did a year ago. Still probably not.
3. Canelo is too proud to turn his back forever to the challenge, I reckon. Might be 2017 though?
4. Not this year, no. Khan'll need a break after Canelo.
5. Don't think so. Loma seems big at feather and Rigo seems small at super bantam (to me). And didn't Rigo leave Top Rank with ill will? I try not to follow the politics too closely but I got that impression.

Yes, I thought of that and mentioned it in one of the other three threads with title problems. I try not to comment but lately it is nearly epidemic.

I apologize to any of you for whom English is a second language. I am not perfect with English. I do attempt to correct mistakes if I notice them or they are pointed out to me.

IMO, the Current Scene board has looked like it is populated by the mentally challenged lately. I suppose that is an indictment of myself.

On the subject, I think that 1 and 3 may come to pass this year.

I'd like to add Ward/Kovalev to that list if I may and no, none of those fights will happen in 2016. Zip.

1) - Yes
2) - No
3) - No
4) - No
5) - Yes

Yep, Khan is so afraid of Brook that he is fighting someone with more ability, more power, two weights up.............makes perfect sense.

Actually it does. There is absolutely no shame if he loses to canelo. He loses to canelo he lost to a bigger, stronger man. He loses to Brook he makes brook an even bigger star and has to deal with the embarrassment of losing to a guy he has talked shit about for awhile.

Brook is a better boxer than Canelo, though not as hard of a puncher.

Khan will have a big payday and lots of excuses after he loses to Alvarez, and still be popular with his fans.

But if he lost to his countryman Brook, he would lose face and no longer be highly regarded in the UK.

Will these matches are NOT going to happen in 2016!

1. I suspect that Fury will milk the cow for a while until he's either forced to fight him, wait until Klits is dinosaur old before the rematch.
2. Chickenson is hiding behind promoters, networks and whatnot so it's not likely
3. Oscar is safeguarding his Cashcow and will milk the cow for all it's worth with BS CW fights while having Canelo avoid all the Jr MWs
4. Khan is too much of a B*atch to face Brook, sure he will talk his name up and say he isn't afraid but he'd rather take a good buttwhupping facing a bigger Canelo so at least he has a built-in excuse when he loses than face Kell who is the same size as him, so NO you won't see that this year.
5. Rigo is the most avoided fighter at the lower weights because all use the excuse that he is boring so they can hide from him, at least to Loma's credit he is facing a dangerous fighter in Walters so it isn't necessarily fear but rather worrying if someone could match his skill level.

I am weak in English no doubt & neither it's my mother language. So sorry & thanks to all of you who hear me with such patience and give your precious views on some of those amazing fights.

wilder vs fury - we'll get that at some point but we won't get it this year.
kovalev vs stevenson - they will be rowing for quite sometime about which network it will be on and whatever else, talks have been re starting and stopping for some time now. doubt we'll see that fight in 2016
ggg vs canelo - possibly, its possible we may get that fight this year.
khan vs brook - think divvyness will stop that bout happening for some time aswell
rigo vs loma - no

1) Possibility, if the money is big for Wilder - if I had to put money on this I would say no.
2) No - It's the fight I would like to see the most out of this list.
3) Yes, I do think this will happen, apparently there is an agreement been made between Canelo - Khan - GGG, I can see Canelo beating Khan and face GGG.
4) NO!!! The most frustrating out of the list, offers have been made to Khan and just isn't interested. He wants to stay fighting in America.
5) No, Rigo would never get in the ring with Lomachenko.

If it did happen: (IMO)
Fury UD
Kovalev KO
GGG KO
Brook UD
Lomachenko KO
