he will most definitely enter it, can't see other way around. Or which 9 fighters will have a better current/relevant win than either Thurman or Garcia?
Yeah exactly. WW is stacked and this is the best fighting the best. Danny Garcia was in the top 10 pound 4 pound after the Matthysse victory I think. In fact this is probably the closest fight of elites this year.

Linares-Crolla II set for March 25 in Manchester

Again... why tf we need this? :stopitslime:

I want Linares vs winner of Zlaticanin vs Mikey not to waste time with Linares vs Crolla 2

EDIT: I just saw that there was a rematch clause, I take it back then
Wants that british money. Won't lie though ppvs there are nuts. The atmosphere is immense. Crowd gets into the action. Reminds me of watching a premier league match at times

so far... but we will have a few other big fights imo, probably Ward vs Kovalev II and possibly Canelo vs Golovkin too so I wouldn't just say yet that Swift vs Thurman will be the most elite fight this year

True. I think Kov vs Ward gets made but I ain't sure GGG vs Canelo gets made this year. After that whole vacating the title clusterfukk I ain't so optimistic about this fight being made before 2018

I think Thurman is going win pretty easy:lupe:
idk if easily or not but I'm picking Thurman too.
Don't take it granted though cause when I'm biased I usually can't pick the fighter I dislike over the one I like which is the case here but I still have logical reasons why I pick Thurman to win and not just cause I like him better.

If Thurman fights smart from the outside, like he did against Guerrero or Bundu almost full fight he will win cause Danny struggles against good mover boxers who work him from the outside, on the other hand Thurman, a little like Bradley in having this habit that he engages eve if he wouldn't have to cause he wants to put on a show... And if he starts to engage with Garcia he might get caught with one of those counter hooks.

So it's down to whether Thurman can stay smart or he will ruin it for himself.
This fight is rather up for Thurman to win or lose it than on Danny imo... Can't see what Danny can do to him if Thurman moves around smartly and bombs him from the outside with one-two combinations...

But then again Danny proved many of us wrong a few times so I don't write him off...
