12. Anthony Joshua vs. Luis Ortiz
Kicking off the 12 Days of Boxing is a monster matchup between two hard-hitting Heavyweights–Anthony Joshua and Luis Ortiz.
Ortiz made the move to Matchroom Boxing in 2016, making a potential matchup between these two behemoths even more possible.
If Joshua vs. Ortiz happens in 2017, who wins?
11. Jarrett Hurd vs. Tony Harrison
Continuing RBRBoxing’s 12 Days of Boxing and coming in at No. 11 is a matchup between two of the best young and hungry 154-pound contenders–Jarrett Hurd and Tony Harrison.
There are rumblings that the IBF could order Hurd vs. Harrison for the title if Jermall Charlo decides to vacate.
If Hurd vs. Harrison goes down in 2017, who wins?
10. Terence Crawford vs. Manny Pacquiao
Continuing RBRBoxing’s 12 Days of Boxing and coming in at No. 10 is a pound-for-pound matchup between two top-notch champions, Manny Pacquiao and Terence Crawford.
Would Pacquiao put it all on the line against a young gun like Crawford?
Is Crawford ready to try and take over the reins at Top Rank?
Who would win Pacquiao vs. Crawford if it goes down at 140 pounds in 2017?
9. Carl Frampton vs. Gary Russell Jr.
Continuing RBRBoxing’s 12 Days of Boxing and dropping in at No. 9 is a matchup between two of the best young Featherweight fighters in the world–Carl Frampton and Gary Russell Jr.
If Russell Jr. vs. Frampton goes down in 2017, who wins?

If Brook vs. Khan goes down in 2017, who wins?

6. Andre Ward vs. Sergey Kovalev
Continuing RBRBoxing’s 12 Days of Boxing and dropping in at No. 6 is a pound-for-pound rematch between two of boxing’s best–Andre Ward and Sergey Kovalev.
RBRBoxing fans voted Kovalev vs. Ward 1 as the worst decision of 2016 and regardless of who you had winning it’s obvious many people want to see a second scrap.
If the second fight between Ward and Kovalev happens in 2017 who will win?
