Joshua Clottey: "HBO Should Make A WW Tournament"

From his Facebook acct lol Joshua Clottey "I think HBO have to make big six welterweight tournament, Mosley, Mayweather, Cotto, Clottey, Berto and Margarito, awwwwww I think it will be FANTASTIC, what do you think?" Why do I have a feeling only one of those guys wouldn't be down for that? lol All the WWs are stars all star by themselves... the only reason why the super MW super six is happening is to create a star in that division. the WWs don't need a tourny to make them stars.

I was just thinking about posting this.. As I have read this from Joshua. I'd substitute Paul Williams in for Margarito.. Margarito is still banned. and Paul can still make Welterweight. I feel that this tournament (Which will probably never happen) Would be way more successful than Showtimes (In which they have a good tournament as well). if it would... the big names wouldnt fight willams...

I think that would be awsome thats one way we can know who the top dog is.

For real 1 person would be 90% sure to turn this down lol

HBO won't be able to afford it. They can if they get people like Collazo,Quintana,Clottey, Cintron, Margarito(Coming back after all his problems), Berto or Isaac Hltwayo(IBF champ)...People Like Mayweather,Mosley,Cotto or williams arent going to agree to it .

Why do I have a feeling only one of those guys wouldn't be down for that? lol Mayweather, Cotto, Mosley probably wouldn't be in the tournament. They can already get big fights with each other. Why would they commit to a tournament? They could do Berto/Margarito/Clottey and some other guys and winner gets a title shot or something.

That would be ****in sweet! But Unfortunately it will most likely never happen.

That would be sick if it came to fruition. You'd have to put Pac in there though even though he's a JWW.

There's a better chance of Ali and Tyson fighting for the undisputed Heavyweight title next year than for this to happen.

Not really. Fukk Floyd. But I can see Clottey, margarito, cotto, berto, and Mosley in this tournament. None of these guys demand huge money other than a couple mill. I don't even know if Berto has earned a million dollar check. I don't know man. First of all, they would want some of the fights on PPV. If Cotto is coming off a Pac win??? He's gonna want a lot of dough. Mosley is gonna want a lot of dough. Cotto and Mosley will want a minimum of 3 mill for each fight. And they will get it, if not more. Throw Floyd in there and....we all know what kind of chaos that would bring.

The best fighting the best? What do you think this is, Showtime's Super Six?

Ummm, haha. Would NEVER happen. If HBO's budget is 60 million for the year....half or maybe more would be tied up in that tournament. Not really. Fukk Floyd. But I can see Clottey, margarito, cotto, berto, and Mosley in this tournament. None of these guys demand huge money other than a couple mill. I don't even know if Berto has earned a million dollar check.

You're mistaken/deluded if you think Floyd would be the only individual who wouldn't agree to this tournament.

I believe Clottey & Margarito would take whatever they were handed,just to be a part of this tourney,Mosley & Cotto would be like lets do it & um floyd would,floyd would avoid it & his fans would fight for his pride while floyd ran away!!:boxing:

Would never happen. Unfortunately, there are stars involved in a welterweight tournament that are not involved in the super middleweight tourney.

It wouldn't happen Floyd, Mosley, and Cotto won't be around to much longer imo. They will all be retiring soon. Berto is protected. Nobody will fight Margo again, imo but maybe Cotto will.

that'd be great! who gives a fcuk if mayweather would do it or not, likely everybody else would. swap him for williams or collazo then we can determine the best welterweight and floyd by rejecting this would automatically be saying he isnt the best ww if every name in his division is up for it and he isnt. he will look really stupid the next time he says hes the best! let him fight this unknown geezer and earn about 2 quid.
