Re: Mega fight wish list!
I'm not sure if it's a good thing or sad that all of your mega fights aren't really that great. Most of the big fights have been made this year which is great. There are some definite good fights that can be made (like fights on your list) but only a few mega fights now (meaning 2 great fighters fighting each other). Here is my list.
Garcia vs Crawford or Loma
Round robin between Crawford, Spence and Thurman
Rigo vs Loma
Those are the main mega fights that are good fights. Your list have some really good fights though.
Re: Mega fight wish list!
Cruiser is going to give us some crackers. Usyk vs Gassiev or Briedis will be awesome.
Mikey vs Crawford or Loma.
Gonzalez vs Inoue or the Estrada/ Cuadras winner.
Gvozdyk vs Beterbiev
Thurman vs Spence
Tanaka vs Shiro
Niyomtrong vs Moonsri
There's a few for a start.

My list is better than yours. ;D
Re: Mega fight wish list!
People should probably stop talking about a Garcia/Loma fight because it doesn't look like it will happen
What Garcia's people are saying
"Loma doesn't want to fight"
What Loma's people are saying
"Garcia isn't a big name" hahaha
"Garcia is not an A fighter" hahaha
"Garcia is boring" hahaha
"We won't fight on Showtime" and that sums it up.
I hope they are BSing but it appears the plan is more fights, cheaper fights, on ESPN. To make cheap fights you need cheap opponents.

Ya it's weird why they hate so much on Garcia. One of my biggest pet peeves is when this happens:
Loma's team: let's fight Marriaga. He is a good opponent.
Garcia's team: we will fight you
Loma's team: you aren't good enough and don't draw enough ratings.
Interpretation: you are a risky fight and we will fight good fighters but not great ones because we don't want to lose.

I have Spence v Crawford stuck on the brain. Like the feel of Ortiz v AJ. Inoue v Gonzalez has to surely be in the works with huge card coming. Gervonta Davis maybe a fight or two more, v Orlando Salido. Oscar Valdez v Lee Selby. Jermall Charlo v Danny Jacobs, style wise it would be fireworks.

I had about the same list except also Usyk v Gassiev and loma v Rigo but I thought most were just fights I wanted to see, not "mega fights"

Jeramll vs Jacobs would be nice.
Not a mega fight but Betebiev vs Gvozdyk would be brutal. Estrada vs Cuadras looks outstanding.
Re: Mega fight wish list!
This is how out of touch I am with boxing these days. Can’t even come up with a decent list.
20 years ago I’d have reeled off a couple of dozen.

I bet it because of Eddie, Sky and their PPV's.
Re: Mega fight wish list!
Probably partially down to that

When boxing was on mainstream TV it was huge. If AJ and the others fought on terrestrial TV they would win sports personality of the year all the time.
Re: Mega fight wish list!
I used to pay for all the ppvs up to around six years ago
