Rigo fight is big

Burns vs Vasquez is big because it's a unification but some shine is taken off it by the fact that Broner is considered the best by most regardless of the result.

Haye vs Klitschko (if it even happens) should be big but may not be due to Hayes showing last time against WK and the fact he fights less often than than the local piss head in a kebab shop on a Saturday night.

Floyd fights are always big events.

Pretty much the same as what the everyone else has said. I have to say in terms of big fights and what it can lead to in the division then Froch v Kessler gets it. Winner can aim for Ward thus setting up another #1 vs #2 in the division. That's what a big fight in boxing means for me.

Couldn't give 2 fucks about money generated, PPVS, Crowds, and all that bollocks. best fights are 2 evenly matched guys putting it all on the line and moving on to another huge fight where it doesn't even matter if there's a belt involved.
Your argument against the Burns fight could be said for the Froch fight as Ward is best by far in that division


That actually crossed my mind when I was typing so it's a fair point.

Only reason I didn't mention it is that Froch has already fought Ward and although he got beat fair and square it was plain to see he started too slow and there was a lot he could do differently in a rematch should he get one. (Of course Ward would be a huge favourite and it is only right that he is considered to be head and shoulders above the rest).

Also I consider SMW to be one of, if not the most competitive division of the last few years so another big fight only makes the division stronger.
