The new year is upon us, so here is what I want to see in boxing in 2019:

Terence Crawford vs. Errol Spence Jr. to unify welterweight titles, network and promotional conflicts be damned.

Vasiliy Lomachenko vs. Mikey Garcia to unify lightweight titles, network and promotional conflicts be damned.

Canelo Alvarez to line up Daniel Jacobs for his May fight and then a third fight with Gennady Golovkin for his September bout.

Same as last year : Anthony Joshua vs. Deontay Wilder. Obviously.

On that note, fights between the best fighters from the Top Rank and Premier Boxing Champions stables. Make some trades if necessary but stop depriving the fighters and the fans of many of the best fights.

New announcing gigs for the great Jim Lampley and Roy Jones Jr. in the wake of HBO's sad boxing demise.

Continued good mental health for Tyson Fury and a rematch with Wilder.

A speedy recovery for Adonis Stevenson.

More than one fight for Keith "One Time" Thurman, with the second bout being a rematch with Shawn Porter.

Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor II. OK, only joking.

No Mayweather-Manny Pacquiao rematch.

Smooth sailing for the semifinals and finals for the three second-season World Boxing Super Series tournaments.

A meaningful fight at heavyweight when undisputed cruiserweight champion Oleksandr Usyk moves up.

No more ducking.

Kell Brook vs. Amir Khan already. We've waited long enough.

A chance for Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez to win a title in his fifth weight class at bantamweight.

More Jaime Munguia. A lot more.

Better judging.

Oscar Valdez vs. Josh Warrington to unify their featherweight belts, and Leo Santa Cruz and Gary Russell Jr. to unify theirs. Winners meet.

More title unification fights.

Fewer interim and secondary titles.

The continued development of exciting prospects Teofimo Lopez Jr., Ryan Garcia, Vergil Ortiz Jr. and Shakur Stevenson.

The elimination of the embarrassment to boxing known as the WBA, which disgustingly often sanctions three world titles in the same weight class.

For sanctioning body division rankings to be based in reality.

For the drug-testing gold standard Voluntary Anti-Doping Association to handle every major fight. Period.

The WBC's continued commitment to its Clean Boxing Program. Other sanctioning bodies need to follow its lead.
