Josh Taylor vs. Jose Ramirez this coming Saturday is not only a battle of two undefeated world champions with a strong possibility of being a fight of the year contender, but the winner will be crowned the undisputed light-welterweight champion of the world.
It's safe to say the entire boxing industry will be wstching at the weekend, and ahead of a fight of such magnitude DAZN have asked a number of top fighters and key figures to pick a winner.
Here's what they had to say.
James Degale: Former Olympic and world champion
“A big fight. I’m excited for it. I like Taylor a lot and I think he does it on points.”
Mario Barrios: Super-lightweight contender who holds WBA regular title
“Both guys are at the top of their game and it’s going to be a close fight, but I’m picking Ramirez to win by decision. I just think his relentlessness is going to overwhelm Taylor.”
Dave Coldwell: Leading trainer
“I think Taylor has more quality. He can box and he can fight. I think he wins this in a more comfortable fashion than what he did against Prograis.”
Callum Smith: Former super-middleweight world champion
“Great fight: Think Taylor edges it in a real back and forth fight.”
Liam Smith: Former world champion at 154lbs
“A great 50/50. Either can win on their day but I just feel Taylor is more consistent. Ramirez is a class fighter but he blows hot and cold.”
Jamie Conlan: Former world title challenger at super-flyweight
“Taylor on points. A blistering start will see Taylor being forced to match Ramirez’ punch output in the early stages. Taylor will control the ring as the rounds go on. A possible fight of the year contender could be about to happen.”
Jamie Moore: Ex-fighter and now one of Britain’s leading trainers
“Taylor on points. I think it’ll be close but his work rate will be key down the stretch.”

“Taylor for me. He loves a fight and he has that nastiness. Whenever he’s asked to step up he always does.”
Cameron Dunkin: One of boxing’s biggest ever talent spotters
“I know he’s the underdog but I like Jose Ramirez to win this fight.”
Michael Conlan: Super-bantamweight contender
“I’m going for Josh Taylor on points but I have this fight a lot closer than most do. Ramirez is tough and aggressive, and he won’t be intimidated by Josh.”

“I think Josh Taylor is going to stop Jose Ramirez.”
