Hergovic vs Andy Ruiz
Zhang vs King Kong Ortiz (this fight is perfect)
Zhang vs Kownacki
Joe Joyce vs King Kong Ortiz
Joshua vs Sanchez
Fabio Wardley vs Jared Anderson
Charles Martin vs Trevor Bryan
Jared Big Baby Anderson vs Jarell Big Baby Miller
Aw man, it dont seem like any fights I want are doable. Zhang vs Ortiz or Kownacki seems like a slugfest. So does Wardley Anderson. But the fight I wanna see most is Joyce vs King Kong.
Good fights, just a sampling of the great heavyweight matchups available in the deep 2020's heavyweight division.
If I were hands on running the sport, I'd pay attention to your suggestions to make the exciting fights. I would also grow the fan base by matching styles effectively, match nationalities up that draw fan interest, invest in advertising, invest in small fights building towards larger ones, use up the older fighters feeding the records and reputation of the younger ones (Chisora didn't warrant a rare title shot spot, and Gerald Washington is a rather used up opponent for Joshua to rebuild his reputation on, as examples). I would statge fights on free TV in as many countries as possible to groom national heroes, etc.
Historically, boxing doesn't even try to market itsef as others do, and people honor it the world over in spite of itself.
Any fight involving Zhilei Zhang, who has 350 million followers on social meda, far more than Tom Brady, Andy Murray and Roger Federer combined, MUST be held in Beijing, Shanghai or HongKong. If Boxing were run like a corporation with a common objective, it would use that.
After Fury, Wilder and possibly Usyk, Luis Ortiz is a strong candidate for best heavyweight of his era. The close loss to Ruiz Jr is attributable to advancing age for this late starter, who was largely used up in two KO losses to Wilder. Joshua has a long road to getting back to being associated with greatness, but no law says he can't do it. Wilder and Ruiz Jr have signed for US supremacy. That's a lesson for all.
it's a pretty weird nickname, but the battle of the big babies HAS to happen once Miller regains his sea legs.

Yeah, you can go deeper into the division and still find names of guys people are interested in seeing. But they don't have to end up as feeder fish. If you make really exciting matchups, people would rather see that than another mismatch. Undercards need a slugfest to get the crowd going. So pair more punchers. The sluggers don't have to be the champ, and maybe they never will be, but they definitely have to be paired more evenly, and especially with each other. It's great for boxing fans, and it would extend careers by keeping fighters names from dropping off the earth with a loss or make new fan favorites out of them. Boxing could produce a lot of Gattis who could make as much money NOT fighting for championships instead of burning them. As for the international scene, of course.
I also watched these fights. I mentioned which one is a favorite among all these like Zhang vs King Kong Ortiz, Joshua vs Sanchez, Charles Martin vs Trevor Bryan. These fights are really unforgettable.
