    I'll pick just three. The *wish part is none of them have bullshit stipulations, on weight/gloves/ring size etc.

    GGG-Canelo
    Kovalev-Ward
    Rigodeaux-Lomachenko

    I don't consider golovkin vs alvarez a great fight. One sided for sure, but great money making opportunity

    Good thread. Especially considering that we've had too much ducking and dodging this year, and now that May-Pac fiasco is behind us, we can hopefully look forward to some fights getting made that people will enjoy.

    Kovalev-Ward
    Spence-Thurman
    Brook-Khan
    Frampton-Quigg (Signed for February, should be good).
    Pac-Crawford
    Lomachenko-Rigondeaux
    Verdejo-Linares
    Joshua-Haye
    Uchiyama-Vargas
    Walters-Gamboa
    Barthelemy-Flanagan
    Broner-Provo

    both non-contests. which makes them more likely to happen than most of the matchups mentioned in this thread.

    It's lost some luster due to both looking average as of late.

    But yeah I would not mind seeing it.

    CURTIS COKES' Birthplace...
    In No Particular Order....


    Rigondeaux vs. Lomachenko - The Soooooner the Better, Because REED Doubts Rigondeaux Will Still Be RELEVANT by the End of 2016...

    Ward vs. Kovalev - Probably the Most LIKELY Fight to Happen, on REED's Wish List...

    Fury vs. Wilder - The Press Tour Will Be FANTASTIC and the Fight Itself will Be Explosive, Albeit Sloppy...

    Errol Spence vs. a Top 10 Guy, Then Kell Brook - Things SEEM to Be Lining Up This Direction, Spence WANTS Fights of this Ilk, so Hopefully 2016 Is the Year Fans WITNESS EJ's Resume Matching his Ambition...

    Chocolatito 3-4 Times This Year - Doesn't Matter to REED WHO Dude Fights, as REED Ain't Heard of Most of them Anyways...Match Chocolatito w/Top Notch Guys, In or Around his Weight Class and BROADCAST that Shit on American Television...Dude is Tooooooooooooo GOOD to Be Youtubed a Day or So Later...SHOW his Shit...

    Joshua 4 Times This Year - Against Increasingly STIFFER Comp...

    I mentioned Joshua-Haye but now that I think about it, that fight probably won't happen in 2016. Haye will need to not just climb the rankings with some decent wins but also he'll have to get back in the groove and be more active.

    By mid 2017 though, I think Joshua vs Haye will be a MEGA EVENT in Wembley.

    The heavyweight division is a bit unpredictable now, though. Any combination of fights can be made and now fans are interested in the heavyweights again.
