Contender may be Heavyweights in 2008

[sparked_85]

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




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

I said David Haye tongue in cheek, but in fairness if they could actually guarentee the winner of that competition a title shot, then why not?....the man's profile would go through the roof. He'd also look good doing it, he'd be knocking them out,lol.

Audley Harrison on the other hand would definetely be on it if it happend. Getting shut out against by Dominic Guinn.

[Jim_Davis]

Yeah Audley would be great entertainment. The show might even get back onto ITV if he was on it as opposed to moving down to ITV2 or 3 or whatever its on now lol.

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.

I agree with Skils that it's a good idea and think it could give a boost to the improving hw division just as long as they get some good boxers. I could picture the following fighters participating:

Brian Minto
Mike Marrone
JD Chapman
Joe Mesi
Oleg Platov
Dennis Boystov
that Cuban prospect( I forget his name)

First they need to find some good heavyweights.....


Ah well, back to little guys next year then!

[paul750]

Young undefeated heavyweights need to be matched together, as well as the so called top heavyweights in the division to sort out who's the best heavyweights/young heavyweight. The division doesn't need a show like this for the simple fact it won't improve anything. There's just needs to be better match ups made. It just doesn't seem to happen though.

The 'Night of The Young Heavyweights' in 2003 may not have been a major success, but at least they were on to something.

Much prefer the lighter weights.
Too small you might lose the casual fans, but Junior-Lightweight to Junior-Middle should be OK.

Still get some excellent, hungry fighters who are willing to take risks in order to make a name for themselves.


A bunch of second-tier, mostly American Heavyweights hugging & posing off against each other does not appeal at all.


They've got some credibility from Bika-Codrington war - use it to good purpose.

[Texanballer]

Holyfield?

[Banjo7]

Prefer Light Middle or Lower the Heavyweight Div is dead.

Oldanier Solis is the Cuban guy. I don't think Platov or Boystov would do it I don't think they even speak English but to add on to your list
Guinn, maybe Javier Mora, Owen Beck, Chazz Witherspoon, Tye Fields,Travis Walker, Alonzo Butler or Malik Scott former champs: John Ruiz (like a Steve Forbes) Shannon Briggs, Michael Grant and Michael Moorer. Would be great for the division and winner would be highly respected and could get a title shot almost immediately after. Lennox Lewis would get involved and Manny Steward could be one of the trainers but he's probably too busy.
