What do you think about my short list ?

1. Lomachenko - M. Garcia (135)
2. Crawford - M . Garcia (140)
3. Crawford - Spence (147)
4) Usyk - Briedis (200)
59 Joshua - Wilder (+200)

1-4 are all a bit size slanted I think

Garcia can allegedly still do super feather so would be giving away size to Crawford

Crawford doesn't seem to be struggling for weight at 140, and spence is really big 147

The cruiser fight is good but not box office stuff

The rest are box office stuff though

Premature on every one of these, imo.

If Usyk gets by Hunter I would like to see him v Gassiev.

Not so realistic, maybe...Premature - I wouldn't say so....

Lomassiah, Mikey and Hitman Jr. have plenty of work to do where they are at. Briedis has work to do today. Joshua best not be looking past WKlit. Usyk is fighting a decent undefeated cruiser.

I would like to see Hitman Jr. v Barthelemy, Mikey v Linares, SOGgy v Krusher II, the winner of Brook v Spence matched with Once Upon A Time.

I think Joshua Klit will be more competitive than Joshua wilder. I see Joshua dominating wilder rounder after round. Agree with the others but one has already happened, Degale Jack. That has been the fight of the year so far. Very competitive and great fight, not sure if it will be topped IMO.

I expect Tyson Fury to be back soon, and Joshua vs Fury would be wonderful....The strong one against the slick one...

You know, I finally put two and two together with you Tanzio. You are Russian-ish aren't you? You are always concerned about some mediocre boxer from that area that no one cares about. Oh yeah, i'm sure EVERYONE is dying to see Usyk vs. Gassiev. :doh: That and your crush you have on the twin cavemen Klits...I'm starting to see where you are coming from. Come clean. Where are you from?

Joshua would massacre Wilder easier than he would Fury.

Wilder has a punchers chance. Fury has nothing for aj.too easy to hit.

In shape Fury, mentally sound Fury can at least run away from Joshua. Joshua will jab Wilder to death, causing him to be off balance like Bambi on ice. Then Wilder will recklessly swing away, loosing his balance again, tumbling through the ropes out of the ring.

Who is following who around here, Professor Clouseau? Do you have an opinion on the subject of the thread, caldOHm, or are you just pleasuring yourself fantasizing about who I am?

Usyk v Gassiev would be a very competitive match between two of the three top cruisers at the moment. Briedis v either of those two would also be a good match.

Without nationalism, please ! I like this forum, because it is almost chauvinism-free. Don't change this kind of image, please !

I don't think Usyk matches up very well against Briedis. I think Usyk would beat Briedis pretty wide. No hit against Briedis because I absolutely love his style. I just think Usyk matches up better against Gassiev. Also, I can't see Lomachenko/Garcia being made anytime soon.

1. Kovalev/Ward: II
2. Usyk/Gassiev
3. Canelo/Lemieux (talks about this happening in September)
4. Marriga/Valdez (people forgetting about this gem)
5. Cuadras/Rungvisai (might be coming as I think Cuadras is his mandatory)

Outrageous statement. Everyone who follows the cruiserweight division is dying to see Usyk/Gassiev. Gassiev has p4p power and chin against Usyk's p4p boxing talent. It's a glorious matchup.

Draws are usually the most competitive matches of the year, and there's hundreds of them. Gonna be hard to decide which draw is the drawiest draw.

I was not so precise. Of course, I mean about top level only.

I agree but I don't see any harm in knowing where our fellow posters come from. I'm interested to know just a little about all of you, and I love the fact this forum is so international.

I couldn't agree more with that.
