BOXING can be a frustrating sport to follow at times. Fans can be left wanting while their favourite fighters fail to cross paths for various reasons outside of the ring. Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao finally managed to meet in May, so we?ve listed 15 fights we would like to happen before the year?s close and rated the probability of them being made this year. Many of these fights would require rival broadcasters and promoters to work together, so these match-ups are construed under the fantasy of those issues not getting in the way.
15 for 2015: Number 15
The top 15 fights we still want to see in 2015 Keith Thurman v Timothy Bradley With Bradley set to be elevated to WBO world welterweight champion after the governing body stripped Floyd Mayweather of the belt, this could be a unification clash with Thurman?s WBA ?Regular? title on the line as well. Both have been involved in exciting fights recently and both are highly-ranked at the weight, adding significance to a potential fight between them. However, broadcasting disputes likely rule this one out given Thurman?s allegiance to Al Haymon and his Premier Boxing Champions network while Bradley is a Top Rank fighter who appears on HBO.
