    What fights would you make?

    For the opening rounds I'd make the following:

    Garcia vs. Bradley
    Spence vs. Porter
    Thurman vs. Brook

    It's a huge fight in the UK so my first choice would be Brook-Khan. They've talked, and they've talked, and they've...zzzzzz. Just get it on. Next up, Thurman-Spence. Thurman hasn't yet been in a mega-fight and this would be one against a young fighter who is seen as a future superstar of the sport. We'd see what Thurman is truly made of (or not).

    I used to say Brook-Khan just because I want to see him humiliated by Kell. But the more I think about it, the more of a MISMATCH it really is. I can't see Khan lasting more than 5 rounds. It would merely be to just watch Khan beaten senseless again.

    Spence-Brook is probably the best fight that can be made. I doubt Thurman would fight either of those two. Ditto with Garcia.
