If you could only see one of these fights, which one would you watch
And are any of these fights bigger (or better) than the Alvarez vs Golovkin fight?

AJ would blow away Wilder.
Loma is too big for Rigo.

As Crawford probably move up 147 in a year or so.
I think AJ vs Joshua is the best fight that can be made
Wilder can punch and AJ can be hurt. If Wilder had him down
He wouldn't let him off the hook (like Wladimir did)
Wilder is athletic, he can punch and is chin seems decent.
Sorry, on my phone , it looks like you've forgotten to put a poll on as it doesn't show it. But personally, I think the Canelo v GGG Fight out of all of those. I wouldn't have said that a couple of years ago, but as time has gone on, this has become a much closer fight than it once was. Hate to say it , but Oscar may have "marinated" this one perfectly.Quote:

Thurman has plateaued a bit imo. And Spence will beat him handily. And
Joshua will batter Wilder.
The superfight for the future is definitely going to be Spence v Crawford. Now that is something to look forward to.
Out of those listed I voted Thurman vs Spence. Crawford vs Garcia would be next but I would prefer Garcia vs Loma.
Thurman v Spence here. I don't really want to have Garcia v Crawford as Crawford needs to move his arse UP already. Two tremendous fan favorites better suited to wreck different division I believe. Loma v Rigo seems very likely and that is awesome.
Holy shit dude, You picked out the prim for the prim. All those are 'Great Fights!". Deontay Wilder is my Heavy as now we come from the same state. All of them are great fights. I would pick Loma against Rigo, Loma by late round stoppage.Quote:

2. Keith Thurman vs Errol Spence= Love Keith, But fade lates. Errol Spence by Stoppage Round 9-10
3. Anthony Joshua vs Deontay Wilder= Like the fellow Alabamian, But he swings wide and reckless. It depends if he is focused. I have to say Pick Em fight. Josh fought the better opposition, But Wilder has the better 1-2
4. Vasyl Lomachenko vs Guillermo Rigondeaux= Loma wins this Bigger, More Skilled, Matrix fight
actually I wanna vote for this fight, do you reckon AJ could punch Joshua as hard as Tyson punched Fury?Quote:

I expected Joshua vs Wilder to dominate this poll
Two undefeated heavyweight champions in their primes
They're 57-0 between them with 56 knockouts!
It doesn't really get any better than that.
57-0 with 56 knockouts and only 1 opponent worth mentioning between themQuote:

Thurman and Spence all wouldn't survive a round.
The two most dangerous men in the world (probably)
Wilder can not box, wild by name wild by nature. It is embarrassing watching him box.
AJ would dispatch him with ease.
An AJ vs wilder fight sounds exciting because both are big punchers. Neither are great fighters but the fight would be fun.
Voted Joshua-Wilder, only because we've been so starved for good HW championship fights for so many years..... and then we got a great one in Joshua-Wlad..... that I'm hungry for more. Crawford-Garcia was a close second. Loma-Rigo was last. Loma's too big for Rigo.
I'm shocked Lomachenko vs Rigondeaux is leading this poll
For me that's the least interesting of the four fights.
I'm not sure why so many people are writing Wilder off against AJ
Let's not forget that AJ was rocked by Whyte (who is utterly shit)
Wilder is unbeaten in 38 fights and I can't remember him being hurt
He's also KO'ed 37 people which is something that shouldn't be overlooked.
Joshua isn't the hardest to hit and his chin is a bit suspect
Rumours of him being dropped by Price in the gym
Evidence of him being dropped by Whyte in the amateurs
And of course being heavily put down by Klitschko.
Forget rumours, we have seen Wilder rocked numerous times and how poor does his technique look?
If AJ gets hit by his wild punches AJ deserves to be knocked out, they are so obvious that any decent fighter would avoid them.
Wilder mixed up nice short shots between the swings
In fact most of his knockouts have come on short right hands.
Who's rocked Wilder? I've never seen him badly hurt
I've seen him struggle in fights but never troubled.
So many examples
http://youtu.be/F2QjTroBo4U?t=10
That video doesn't convince me Joshua would win
It'd be a good fight and if they did it soon
It could make for a good series of fights.
We could do with another trilogy in Boxing
Both are young enough to give us a few good fights.
I have a feeling that AJ would knock out Wilder cold and there would be no reason for a rematch never mind a trilogy. As I have said before Wilder is just Seth Mitchell but with a title.Quote:

Since turning professional he’s won 6-0 in world title fights
And 38-0 overall with 37 knockouts... in other words he's a lot better than Mitchell.
Wilder has a fragile chin as bad as Amir Khan.Quote:

He's not been dropped let alone stoped in 38 fights :confused:Quote:

Wobbled plenty of times sparring, amateurs and professional. It is known that he can not take a punch. Wilder has got by because of poor opponents, good match making and luck.Quote:

If he's not first then he's definitely second.
The heavyweight pool is very poor and is just getting worse. AJ would never have fought for a world title with the limited rounds he has had in the 1990's. Wilder would have been knocked out by a Mercer.Quote:
