10 Boxing Fights That Need To Be Made

7. Takashi Uchiyama vs. Mikey Garcia

The super featherweight division is another that doesn't have a clear-cut number one. Takashi Uchiyama (WBA champion) and Mikey Garcia (WBO champion) are considered the top two guys in the division. Japan's Uchiyama has reigned for four years, defending his title eight times, but operating exclusively in his homeland so far. With 17 of his 21 career wins coming by way of knockout, it's no wonder he goes by the alias 'KO Dynamite'. This would prove to be a test for Garcia, who has also amassed 28 stoppages from his 34 careers victories, but also has question marks over his punch resistance. Nevertheless, in 2013 €“ a year in which he won world titles at featherweight and super featherweight €“ he established himself as one of the world's potential next superstars. It would be up to Mikey Garcia's promoters, Top Rank, Inc., to make Uchiyama a lucrative enough offer to convince him to travel to the United States to take on their young gun.
