Contender may be Heavyweights in 2008

[The Hammer]

I've been reading from various sources that the popular Contender TV series may be heavyweights in 2008.

Who would you like to see participate? I'm thinking Kevin Johnson, Malik Scott, Chazz Witherspoon, and JD Chapman. Or maybe because they want to protect their "0", we'll see boxers like Brian Minto, Dominic Guinn and others who already have a few losses on their records.

contender has always disappointed me

Wow. What a terrible idea. Pick one of the worst divisions as far as talent - and then find someone who either hasn't gotten a title shot or has lost whenever they stepped up in competition.

Owen Beck and Gerald Nobles are waiting by the phone anxiously I can imagine...

When I watch The Ultimate Fighter I wonder why the hell I wasted my time with The Contender in the first place. I wont be watching until they change things up.

This can't HURT the division. Now, only to find Contender t-shirts big enough..............

I think it could be of good to the HW division which needs a profile boost IMO.

It could bring some new names to the sport and allow some HW's to get exposure. It doesn't sound like to bad an idea to me.
