Lomachenko looked close to his best in dominating Masayoshi Nakatani and Richard Commey last year. George Kambosos Jr vs Vasyl LomachenkoĪ bout to settle the true lightweight No 1. Both boast an all-action style and while Serrano may be closer to her peak, Taylor boasts an incredible will to win.Ĥ. Puerto Rico’s multi-weight world titleist Serrano, who is looked after by Jake Paul’s Most Valuable Promotions, is 42-1 and her lone defeat was a decade ago. Ireland’s undisputed lightweight champ Taylor hasn’t lost as a pro. Two of the top three pound-for-pound fighters in women’s boxing just happen to be around about the same weight and – unlike several of the bouts on this list – this has a great chance of happening in 2022. Haney has the height and a pinpoint jab but he can be wobbled and Davis is one of boxing’s most brutal finishers. Enter Haney, the slick 23-year-old with the dazzling smile and skills. Powerful 27-year-old ‘Tank’ Davis has been bouncing around divisions picking off belts but he needs to test himself against a top name. Lightweight is a talent-stacked division and this classic boxer vs puncher match-up between two cocky American aces is one of the best it can deliver. Taylor is the undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO super-lightweight champion This would be worth it for the verbal war even before the two trade blows. But if ‘The Takeover’ can learn the lessons from that defeat and focus on his boxing, he has the size, skills and power to be a force at light-welterweight.
Lopez is moving up from 135lb having suffered his own upset to George Kambosos Jr. Scotland’s Taylor has beaten the best at 140lb and, providing he isn’t upset by Jack Catterall in February, urgently needs challengers. A bout that either cements Inoue’s greatness or crowns a new superstar in Fulton. But the versatile Fulton, who can box and brawl, still might not want to test his chin against Japan’s ice-cold banger. It means Inoue moving up to a fourth weight class (he started at 108lb) which might negate his devastating punch power. Unbeaten US rising star Fulton is the man to provide it.
‘The Monster’ Inoue has struggled to find elite opposition since his 2020 war with Nonito Donaire. Jermall Charlo vs Demetrius Andrade may be the fight at 160lb, but this has terrific appeal.Įubank wants a big name fight and GGG can show the doubters he’s far from finished Love or hate Junior, this is ideal for both: an attention-grabbing fight for GGG and a chance for Eubank to finally make his mark. Golovkin is 39 and his career has stagnated since those two epic contests with Canelo. But in 2022 it’s a more even middleweight contest. When Eubank Senior said his son could KO Golovkin in 2015 the world wondered if ‘English’ had swallowed his monocle. With the American now 36, we have to see this mega fight before it is too late. Britain’s Joshua is more polished but Wilder is more committed to his style, i.e.
Both are enormous punchers, both are vulnerable, so you simply couldn’t blink for however many rounds – or minutes – this lasts. It may not feature the two best heavyweights in the world but this mouthwatering slugfest is the division’s most exciting match-up. Aside from Fury vs Usyk, Wilder vs Joshua is surely the heavyweight mega fight to make in 2022
