Thurman/Swift could end in a KO too. That would be nuts
I think AB vs Granados is going to be a good squabble as well. Not FOTY caliber, but just a good competitive fight.
granados has recovery powers so i know he can take some shots and fire back

LUIS ORTIZ BLASTS DEONTAY WILDER; SAYS HE'S "SCARED" AND "NOTHING BUT A PAPER CHAMPION"
By Press Release | February 03, 2017
Responding to WBC Heavyweight Champion Deontay Wilder's recent public statements, former WBA Interim Heavyweight Champion Luis Ortiz would like to let him know: "I signed up for the WBC/VADA Clean Boxing Program last September. Stop using that excuse to avoid fighting me!"
The undefeated Ortiz (27-0, 23 KOs), of Camaguey, Cuba, now living in Miami, has been trying to get Wilder into a boxing ring for quite a while, as Wilder has chosen to face a string of what many would label second-tier opponents to defend against.
"He's scared!" said Ortiz of Wilder. "The more he can use my failed test against me he will. He and (promoter Lou) DiBella are saying he won't fight me because of that. That was years ago, and since that unfortunate incident, for which I was punished, I have tested a dozen times clean. Now he's trying to say I haven't signed up for VADA Clean Boxing... guess what Wilder? I signed up last September when I was notified that all WBC contenders need to be part of their new Clean Boxing Program. I filled out the paperwork and my trainer submitted it to the WBC. He can stop using that excuse to avoid me. I have nothing to hide and do not have to prove any longer to anyone that I am clean. Wilder is nothing but a paper champion who happened to be at the right place at the right time against the right opponent with, most importantly, the right promoter. That's all he is."
Ortiz's trainer, Herman Caicedo of Caicedo Sports Training Center of Miami, Florida, also says Ortiz's failed drug test in 2014 is no longer a factor.
"Since failing his test years ago, Luis has been tested over a dozen times, voluntarily and mandatorily in fights. He has made it very clear that he never wants that to happen again and I wouldn't work with a fighter I even suspected wasn't clean. There's too much involved in how I train fighters. We all put a lot of blood sweat and tears into training for a failed drug test to derail the entire process. I do my own drug panels and steroid checks before I take fighters. And those that do not wish to willingly participate, I will not train."
Ortiz says sooner or later, Wilder will run out of excuses to avoid him or be run out of boxing.
"My mentality was always to beat whoever was the best fighter in my division, period. I don't handpick my opponents. This is all weird and new to me. He can't run for much longer though. I assume he will try to unify or vacate before he has to fight me. He can't unify with the Joshua/Klitschko winner because I am the mandatory above any unification fight, and I will not be jumped over. So, he can try to beat up (New Zealand-based contender Joseph) Parker after his next fight. Then retire the paper champion he is."
"I am very confident about the outcome if Ortiz and Wilder ever do fight," continued Caicedo. "Ortiz will knock him out within 10 rounds. Luis has a level to his approach that I haven't seen in quite some time. He is a throwback, old-school heavyweight boxer. He has incredible poise, precision, and ring generalship. He's accurate with this punches and defensively very sound. If they ever do fight, Wilder will be exposed. But, he will probably retire a legend in his own mind without ever fighting anybody."
Ortiz says no matter what happens with Deontay Wilder, he is happy and comfortable with his life.
"I would like to thank my team: Jay, Javier and my trainer Herman for the support they give me throughout all this uncertainty, as well as my fans and, most important to me, my wife and three children. I never thought I would be fighting to make a living. Boxing was always what I did because I loved it. I fought for pride. I fought for bragging rights!! I have already achieved one dream and that was to be here in the United States with my family. I am a United States citizen and very proud. Now to be able to box for a living, make money and potentially become world champion... that, to me, is priceless."

Parker vs. Fury: Duco Secures The Fight With Over $3 Million Bid
By Miguel Rivera
BoxingScene.com was advised by World Boxing Organization President Francisco 'Paco' Valcarcel that Duco Events submitted won Fridau's purse bid to secure the promotional rights to the mandatory fight between WBO heavyweight world champion Joseph Parker (22-0, 18KO's) and top challenger Hughie Fury (20-0, 10KO's).
The purse bid took place at the Hotel Verdanza in Isla Verde, Carolina, Puerto Rico.
Duco Events submitted an insured purse of $3,011,000, where Parker will receive $ 1,806,600.00 (60%) and Fury will get $ 1,204,400 (40%). The minimum bid accepted was $1,000,000.00 (one million dollars). Duco co-promotes Parker with Top Rank. Fury is handled by Frank Warren.
A date of April 1 was submitted and the location is Auckland, New Zealand.
"This purse bid is being carried out because the parties could not agree," said Valcarcel. "A representative from New Zealand and one from London came over. The people of Duco offered $3,011,000 and Frank Warren offered $2,800,000, so it was awarded to Duco."
Parker, a native of New Zealand, won the vacant world championship last December in his country, with a majority decision over previously undefeated Andy Ruiz. Meanwhile, Fury, a native of England, was crowned the Intercontinental champion last April by winning a technical decision over seven episodes against veteran Fred Kassi.
The belt became vacant when Fury's cousin, Tyson Fury, vacated the title last fall. Tyson captured the title with a shocking twelve round decision over Wladimir Klitschko in November 2015. A rematch was never held as Fury postponed two planned dates and then vacated to focus on his mental health issues. Once he vacated, the WBO ordered Parker and Ruiz to battle for the vacant belt.
The original mandatory challenger was David Haye, but he went in another direction by accepting a Sky Sports Pay-Per-View showdown with WBC cruiserweight champion Tony Bellew, who is moving up in weight, on March 4th.
