The Opening Bell Episode 82

ANOTHER year begins and the possibility of Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fighting remains a hot topic. Matt Christie and John Dennen wonder if 2015 might be, at last, the year they get it on.

A fight that looks almost certain not to happen, at least not in the immediate future, is Carl Froch-James DeGale. Is Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr a viable alternative and what does Froch have left? Guillermo Rigondeaux’s career and latest escapades also make the cut as do the heavyweight scene with the impending Bermane Stiverne-Deontay Wilder showdown and Shannon Briggs’ desperate bid for a shot at Wladimir Klitschko.

Chris Eubank Jnr tackles Dmitry Chudinov next month and we wonder if the Brighton star will have embraced the lessons from his loss to Billy Joe Saunders.

No politics, just boxing. Get involved.
