I want Wilder vs. Ruiz and Joshua vs. Fury. The division is actually in pretty good shape.


Ruiz would lose to Whyte and Wilder if he didn’t show up in peak form.

Ruiz has been training with Canelo's camp and looks to be in incredible shape. He knows he fucked up his prep for the Joshua rematch and looks poised for redemption.

I think Ruiz mauls Wilder irrespective of form or conditioning. He has the fastest hands in the division and he's crafty. He won't stand in the lane for Wilder to land his missile straight.

Ya heard it here first.

Billy Joe Saunders vs. Canelo Alvarez. Who ya got? I don't see Canelo being able to secure the KO against BJS' elusive style. It will likely come down to how the judges score ring control for Canelo vs. BJS' point fighting.

Welp, I was wrong:
Spoiler: show
It didn't go to a decision. BJS quit on his stool between the 8th and 9th round. Either that or his team advised against continuing. He has suffered what appears to be a fractured orbital after one of the nastiest uppercuts I've ever seen. Yikes.

Wilder vs. Fury III was nuts. Try to catch a replay if you don't already know the result.

Fury by far the superior boxer, fighter, athlete. Wilder a big puncher, but has cherry picked a lot of his opponents on the way to top.

I think everyone in boxing is fed cans, then eventually journeymen/gatekeepers. The heavyweight division is just so lacking in depth below the top tier that it stands out so much more. I don't agree with some of Wilder's antics, but he only started boxing at 20 years of age, and his primary motivation for becoming a prizefighter was to pay for his sick daughter's astronomical medical bills. (Sort your shit out, 'murica.) He has the heart of a lion and I will always root for him. Fuck the haters.

Hope to see him fight Usyk, Joshua, Whyte, Parker, Hunter, Ruiz, Pulev, Gassiev, even Chisora. Only top 12 fighter he has fought is Fury.

I hope Canelo doesn't maim Plant. That BJS break was tough to watch.

I have no idea. Maybe moving up in weight?

All the belts spread and then some in the division above. No stars.

Canelo has proved, not that there was any doubt before, that he's in a class of his own. GGG 3 would be the only thing that would be even mildly exciting for marginal boxing fans like me, but Canelo has nothing to prove there and GGG is past his peak so even that is not too promising

David Benavidez seems most likely. Jermall Charlo also appears to be up for it, but Canelo has said that going back down to middleweight would prove troublesome at this stage.

There are a number of fights at light heavyweight (Bivol, Beterbiev), but that shift up in weight would be risky for his legacy.
