Who is taking the big fights?

[jm0b]

In the last few years, lets say five-ish without getting too pedantic, what "established" fighters out there are taking on risky fights?

Khan vs Canelo
Fury vs Wlad
AJ vs Whyte
AB vs Maidana
Rigo vs Donaire
Cotto v Canelo
Floyd vs Pac
Pac vs JMM
Pac vs Bradley
Walters vs Donaire

I'd say these are some of the more important, or at the very least even, matchups between the household names in the sport.

Please call me an idiot and remind of *that* super fight I missed, asides from having a moan about the state of boxing pronotion atm I wanna see more great fights. Cheers

Most casual fans think that if the one fight they want to see doesn't happen, then everyone is ducking everyone.

For example, I really think Khan vs Canelo is going to be a good fight but almost no one else thinks it will be because Khan isn't Golovkin. Bradley vs Pac 3 was blacklisted by fans and that turned out to be pretty entertaining. But HBO said something about Terrance Crawford, so fuck that fight.

Superfights aren't just thrown together the second that fans demand them. It hasn't been that way in years and years.

I agree that more fights could, and should, be put together.

But it is also just the nature of the casual fan to only hope a very select few big fights happen. If you only know a handful of fighters, you are probably not going to recognize how many good fights are going on that you are not aware of.
