Afternoon all.

What are the fights on everyone's wish list for next year?

Unifications, more unifications.

Probably the same fights that we all wanted last year...

Fury vs Josh with crowd. It’s got to happen. Crawford vs Spence as well.

Fury vs Joshua
Beterbiev vs Bivol
Alvarez vs Charlo
Haney vs Lopez
Davis vs Lomachenko
Spence vs Crawford
Taylor vs Ramirez

Put these fights on TV and UFC is dead

Main Wish List:

• More unification bouts
• More drug testing
• More cross-promotional cross-network events
• Harsher punishments for drug cheats
• Fewer belts
• Fewer divisions in the lighter weight classes
• Fewer PPV’s
• Fewer mismatches
• Crowds returning to boxing events
• Better quality cards
• To see all the best fighters being active, rather than just 50% of them (as-is the case currently)
• Less emphasis on unbeaten resumes
• Fewer or zero novelty bouts (i.e. no veteran leagues or boxing vs. MMA or YouTube celebrity fights etc.)
• Better judging

Secondary Wishes:

• Fury-Joshua title unification
• Luis Ortiz getting KO’d by Andy Ruiz Jr.
• Canelo-Beterbiev or Canelo-Charlo (one of these seems likely)
• Crawford-Spence Jr. (I realise it won’t happen, but I'd still like it to)
• Jermell Charlo vs. winner of Teixeira-Castano
• Josh Taylor vs. Jose Ramirez
• Teofimo Lopez vs. Gervonta Davis (at 135lbs)
• Naoya Inoue attempting to unify the 118lbs division
• Gennadiy Golovkin passing the batton to one of the top-five rated fighters at 160lbs or 168lbs (i.e. Andrade, Saunders, Smith etc.,)
• Dillian Whyte to finally receive a well-deserved title shot
• Ryan Garcia, Jaime Munguia, and Vergil Ortiz to cut ties with Golden Boy (one of these seems likely)
• Deontay Wilder to be frozen out of the heavyweight title picture and also be compelled to beg Dillian Whyte for a fight
