I have no clue. What sayeth thou? Should we throw in David haye and Adamek and Helenius?
In terms of the fights that will be the most important to the division....
Arreola vs Stiverne - 2 power punching brawlers with very little patience for the sweet science, it should be a great fight to watch.
Banks vs Mitchell II - After a shocking upset in their first fight I think we will see a battle between these two and a more competitive fight. Maybe Mitchell was sleeping on Banks, but whatever happened he'll be focused this time. These guys will be letting their hands go with bad intentions we could see a smarter fight from Mitchell and a more aggressive fight from Banks.
Wlad vs Povetkin - Its been a long time coming, it's a HUGE money fight and it will be a gigantic fight in Moscow as 2 boxers from the former Soviet Union clash in Russia's capital for the titles for the first time ever. Sure it might end up being overhyped or one sided but the event of the fight is just so big you can't ignore it.
Thompson vs Price II - Again a rematch of a shock upset. This will show the world if Price can recover his career and this fight will basically be for a chance to fight Tyson Fury for big money, very important given Price's performance last time and the mileage on Thompson...very important fight.
What fights I would make right now that would be exciting....
Arreola vs Stiverne - I just love the style matchup. 2 guys who won't shy away from contact, they will just go out guns a blazing (hopefully).
Jennings vs Abdusalamov - A slick boxer vs a puncher. It will test Jenning's ability to take a punch & Abdusalamov's ability to deal with a boxer. Good mesh of styles, would provide a good amount of action.
Wlad vs Valuev - Valuev is retired yes we all know, but he never got put down, he never got KO'd, and he never fought a Klitschko brother. It would be a huge fight in terms of just how fucking big these guys are and I'm sorry I still want to see 7+ foot tall & 300+ pound Valuev crash to the canvas after a barrage of punches. There's always a guy who unretires to challenge the champ...I think it will be Valuev, maybe Ruiz, but we'll have to wait & see.
Adamek vs Povetkin - I think these guys are a good size & style matchup, I think they'll put in an exciting effort against each other, and although we COULD see a knockout I think it would be a surprise in this fight. Should be a lot of punches thrown, a lot of good boxing, a lot of heart, and it's a pick 'em fight 50-50.
David Haye vs Odlanier Solis - Last time anyone saw Solis he was shitting the bed vs Vitali. With his knee all healed up and 2 12 rounders to his name since the injury Odlanier might very well be ready to challenge again and who better to fight than amateur rival David Haye? Last time we saw Haye he was attempting to make people forget the time he shat the bed vs Wladimir. Both of these fighters are looking for redemption and they have a history with each other as well, Solis having beaten Haye in the amateurs. I think it's a decent fight to make, they have history, they wouldn't have to manufacture ill will, and I think the tables have turned since their amateur days and Haye would have the advantage as he keeps himself in top shape.
Agree or disagree that's what I want
Throw them all together in a ring and may the best man win.
The survivor can sign to fight Wlad before Wlad gets his gold watch, and we can all watch the fight and then go home.
I agree every match-up posed by @ElKabong but I would add Fury against someone, perhaps against Arreola, if he beats Stiverne. I especially agree with the following:
Haye - Solis - great call - Didn't Solis beat Haye in the amateurs? Yet, Haye has had by far the more successful professional career.
Wladimir - Povetkin - unification, has been in the works for years.
Jennings - Magomed - styles make fights.
Arreola - Stiverne - scrap written all over it.
Fury v Tyson
Wlad v Vitali
Adamek v Cunningham
Wilder v Seth Mitchell
Foreman v Holmes or Tyson v Holyfield
Why thank you. Here's the best fights for Tyson Fury available right now (or soonish)Quote:

A lot of those fights would be good due to Tyson's lack of a boxing brain...he fights like you would figure a 6'9 gypsy would fight, he doesn't use his brain very often.
sOLIS AND vALUEV ARE PIECES OF SHIT. Valuev will get KTFO in about 2 rounds tops. Solis will hurt his other knee the fucking nancyQuote:
