I think there are enough interesting fighters and fights at hw to make a tournament that would bring back some life to division in the states.
1-Haye
2-Povetkin
3-S.Mitchell
4-Chisora
5-Fury
6-Helenius
I think Povetkin and Adamek have enough name recognition.
Depends upon their ability to speak English really. A tournament could carry one non-English speaker (see Abraham) but two or three and you begin to damage the promotion.
fury, mitchell, haye dont interest me or most of europe so it goes both ways and we're talking about the HW division what the hell does america matter.
The OP was talking about a tournament helping to boost the heavyweight division in the States.

Based on skills, speed, defence and technique
Yes he certainly proved that when he fell over like a fat sh!t in the first round against Vitali Solis has it all to prove he needs to fight and beat a top 10 heavyweight something he is yet to do.
Yeah I'm with you on this one as well, it would be a good way to determine the best possible opponent for the brothers, thing is though which one would have the match with the winner? Wlad? Vitaly?
I would guess Wlad since Vitaly seems to be nearing the end of his career at his age.
I wouldn't use the same schedule or format as the smw super six. The point of the tourney would be to find a worthy challenger and big fight for Wlad and Vitaly.

if the klitschko's are not involved then it would never happen. why tie yourself up for 2 years when no titles are at stake? they should make a oldtimers supersix. take 12 HWs age 38 & older & have them all in a qualifying fight. random draw matching the guys up then the 6 winners advance to the tourney. tua, barrett, rahman, boswell, mccline, toney, holyfield, botha, grant, meehan, mccall, maskaev. all fights are 12 rounds. make the purses bigger the further you go.

Take Gerber out and replace him with Mitchell.
Price > Chisora > Fury
Price is definitely better than Fury and may end up being more successful than Chisora its just he's too green. if we're including him then i would include Glazkov, Rivas, Szpilka, Perez
Based on what? the guy hasn't fought since his knee buckled under the weight of his fat gut nearly a year ago.

Gerber is just as good a puncher except he actually has skills and talent.
With all due respect the Eastern Euros (not called Klitschko) wouldn't bring much in the way of interest in the UK and US.

boytsov
pulev
chisora
helenius

Ok fair enough. Im sure u have seen more of Fury than me.
Half of them are British.
:lol1:

I put Fury because he beat Chisora who was robbed against Helenius and put up the best fight against Vitaly I have seen in years. I dont think it would be embarrassing at all ithink there are some interesting fights.....ny123:boxing:

Odlanier Solis is better that all this list

lol, he put Tyson Fury on his list.....
Truely it would be embarrasing if they featured a Heavyweight Super Six........Rockin':boxing:
