Shawn Porter Manny Pacquiao, above, against Terence Crawford would be a dream welterweight unification fight. The Lopez clan happens to think it's happening just in time. Many believe it's happening a bit too early for Lopez.

Lomachenko-Lopez is a battle between one of the preeminent boxers of the generation and one of the most gifted young fighters boxing has to offer. Lomachenko is also the WBC 'franchise champion.' Lomachenko (14-1, 10 KOs) is currently the unified lightweight champion, as he has the WBO and WBA titles around his waist. It set the stage perfectly for this spring showdown. 14 at Madison Square Garden with a highlight-reel stoppage. Lopez (15-0, 12 KOs) captured the IBF lightweight title in emphatic fashion by dispatching the normally durable Richard Commey on Dec.

This could be a case of be careful what you wish for, as Lopez (and really more so his boisterous father) have made a beeline for Lomachenko over the past few years, and now they got him. I've put together a list of 20 matchups that would make that dream a reality. So as we look ahead to 2020, the hope is that boxing will give us another memorable 12 months of fights. There was no shortage of legitimate 'fight of the year' candidates, and it showed once again that when you match the best fighters in the game against one another, good things happen inside that ring. While we didn't get all the fights we wanted (we never do, unfortunately), for the most part, boxing delivered.

Another year is in the books, and for the sport of boxing, 2019 was certainly a memorable one.
