There are some matchups at Lightweight and Superlightweight...
... I would like to see.
1st. Lopez vs Hitchins. (I think Lopez is all talk and not up for a real hard fight again, would be interesting to see Hitchins plot his way through this one)
2nd. Stevenson vs Tank Davis or Keyshawn... who would not want to see that or any variation of these three?
3rd. Schofield vs Mason or Cruz or Keyshawn (in fact, any variation of these guys against each other would suffice. Winner go on to fight Stevenson vs Tank winner.
4th. Berinchyk vs Zepeda... just to see Zepeda blast this bum out in a few rounds. Just because...
Re: There are some matchups at Lightweight and Superlightweight...
I think Teo has been coasting for quite some time now and as of late focused more of twatter slap fights on fights not signed and becoming a fashion model of some sort. Hitchins strikes me as a 'serious minded fighter although not always fan appealing. But can see his style imo can give Teo hell. Sad part about the 2nd scenario is that both Keyshawn and Tank are recently joking about retiring aka being disinterested, and in Tanks case off the cheap Paul lotto farce I believe him. Frankly he should be stripped. He's not a serious fighter and ducked his championship obligations with Roach rematch. 3rd tier most appealing, and can see as you said any variation come off minus maybe Keyshawn, if he makes 135 again I'll eat my boot.
Like to see the Matias v Puello rematch myself. But Turki all but 'demanded' Smith get his instant shot at Matias so all bow down, including the wbc. Russell has a pretty tough fight with Hiraoka in November. That should be entertaining. Historically these two are solid competitive divisions, only hope big potential match ups come off.

Of all the fighters you mentioned, I think Tank is the most frustrating to follow by a long shot. Poster boy for a fighter with unlimited potential... but hampered by the mentality of someone whose elevator doesn't go all the way to the top. The only thing he's done which I fully appreciated was bring PrincessRy back down to earth after his "Face of Boxing" nonsense. Other than that... Tank's a certified headscratcher.
Teo? You're right. Which is a bit puzzling, given his extraordinary talent, and his quality wins.
I'm a bit more reserved on Matias than I used to be. There was a time I thought he would walk through any 140-pounder out there. That bubble was burst with his loss to Paro. Not exactly sure what to make of him going forward. Also not sure how he stacks up against the other elite fighters at his weight.

Often times you get that from these street urchins, they don't have any self control when they get money. Tank is such street urchin.

I've gone to bat for Tank more times than I can count and said thought he showed a new seriousness dispatching Martin. Then he slept on Roach, got dropped got outhustled and thought he was fortunate to get a draw. Then ducks the rematch. Shame too, but I think he'll go down as one of the more blown potentials of this era.
