Domestically, NZNBF champion Cairo George v.s NZPBA champion Anthony Taylor.
And on the world scene of coarse Floyd/Manny. (Although being a pom I'd settle for Mayweather/Khan).
What's everybody else's?
So your trying to put that fight together eh? goodluck with getting fight. One would have to take less money than what they could make on a show promoted on a show of there own team, and with a hand picked opponent as per usual :-)
It is a fight i would like to watch, just to see what real skills either of them have when they fight someone with a pulse. On paper George would be the favorite- but in real life so far, I would have to back Taylor. With a big hole in the welterweight division, these guys must meet very shortly....its a "piss or get off the pot" reality, but one that i cant see happening unless its forced upon them.
Manny vs Floyd? Arum wont let this happen unless he knows Manny can win. Personal issues between him and Floyd mean that money is not the issue by itself. Its pride. Arum aint got long left on this planet so not making 100 million aint a big deal to him. Costing Mayweather around a 100 million bucks by making sure it never happens is worth far more than gold to a guy like Arum.
Floyd vs Khan would interest me,and id be bored for most of the figh,t but Joseph taking on Anthony Joshua...... I know one of those would offer up am explosive fight :-)

You seem to know your stuff Craig...are you quite sure you aint a part of that outfit i some way? lmao my detective instincts are letting me down if you aint hahaha :-)
Kind of you to say, but no just a fan. I try to go to as many shows as I can and its a pretty small field of kiwi boxers. I'd certainly be tempted to go down to Hamilton in march if this fight was to happen. I reckon Taylor would start favourite, as he has a much better amateur pedigree.
