Contender may be Heavyweights in 2008

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.

Exactly. MMA really benefited from TUF. It brought in alot of new fans who liked the fighters on the show. Although the HW division in boxing is not very good now, putting HWs on The Contender will at least put some new names into the mix for the fans. The last season of The Contender had some pretty good fighters on it. And the Bika vs Codrington fight was a FOTY candidate.

Put David Haye on it, lol.

don't be ****** .... what would haye want to be doing fighting bums on that show for not much money?

Audley Harrison!!!!!!!!!!!!

might be comeback of the decade lol but i doubt it.

That's what I'm thinking too.

This might be good for the sport of boxing, since boxing NEEDS a heavyweight division where the fighters are better known.

Yeah once over most people not just boxing fans knew who was HW champ of the world, nowadays even some boxing fans cant name them because interest in the division is so low.

I treat the Contender with the same respect as Americas Next Top Model.
Which is Zero.

You are right apart from ONE word:

boxing needs a heavyweight division where the fighters are better

That only works if they put a GOOD HW on the show.
