Their fortunes have differed since their bitter fight in 2011, but their profiles are still huge and the bad blood still runs thick.
- Vasyl Lomachenko vs Nicholas Walters (Super-featherweight)
Both have moved up from feather and have been linked for a while in what would be an elite level encounter.
- Roman Gonzalez vs Noaya Inoue (Super-flyweight)
The Nicaraguan master will fight Carlos Cuadras in September, and if he wins then a battle with division leader Inoue would be a purist’s dream.
- Keith Thurman vs Danny Garcia (Welterweight)
The welterweight division is red hot and these two champions could produce a terrific scrap.
- Carl Frampton vs Leo Santa Cruz II (Featherweight)
Their first fight was a thriller and full of skill. Both seem up for a return, which would be warmly received.
- Manny Pacquiao vs Terence Crawford (Super-lightweight)
With Pacquiao returning in November, a fight with one of the sport’s biggest breakout stars now makes complete sense.
- Tyson Fury vs Deontay Wilder (Heavyweight)
One of the alternatives at heavyweight, a meeting between these two charismatic champions would provide fireworks in and out of the ring.
- Tyson Fury vs Anthony Joshua (Heavyweight)
This heavyweight grudge match has been bubbling for some time, and that it would be a unification fight – if both remain unbeaten – makes it all the more special.
- Sergey Kovalev vs Andre Ward (Light-heavyweight)
Ward got past Alexander Brand, and November 19 has been inked for this mouth-watering fight between two pound-for-pound greats.
- Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin (Middleweight)
Both have important fights to get through first, but if they do then a monster clash between these two superstars is the biggest our sport can offer.
