They should have a tournameant at 140lbs

[Steak]

just like the Super Middleweight tourney we have now. seriously, look at this:

Tim Bradley-Undefeated champ
Nate Campbell-old vet
Juan Diaz-trying to get to the top
Maidana-dark horse with a lot of heart
Amir Khan-fast rising prospect/champ
Devon Alexander-fast rising prospect/champ
Juan Urango-dark horse with a lot of power
Kendall Holt-dark horse with a lot of power
Lamont Peterson-undefeated prospect
Andrei Kotelnik-trying to get back to the top
Paul Malignaggi-trying to get back to the top
Ricky Hatton(he probably wouldnt join though) or Mike Alvarado(undefeated)
Victor Ortiz-prospect trying to make a name for himself again

none of these guys are too huge name that they would just skip the tourney, all of these matchups would be worth seeing...you have some vets, some experienced guys, some guys trying to get back to the top, some undefeated guys, some dark horses...

sounds pretty kickass to me. although it probably should be single elimination type of stuff, with runner up 3rd place matches and stuff.

I dunno about you guys, but I would love it if they got just half of these guys and made a tourney out of it.

Showtime has a bunch of these guys under contract anyway, how about it?

All of boxing should be a tournament period.

For sure. I made a thread about it a short while ago, and I think it'd be the best tournament out there. Even better than the Super Six at 168.

Kendall Holt vs. Bradley rematch. I believe Holt showed that he is more then capable of beating Bradley, needs to be more agressive. Or Bradley vs. Nate to clear things up. Hatton too fat, I think Hatton should move up to 147 incase he wants to come back.

[S.G.]

That would be amazing, and if the SMW tourney goes well then who knows...

[PittyPat]

I think Hatton should move up to 147 incase he wants to come back.

All good and well on paper, especially because of his weight ballooning... but in practice, a nightmare. Hatton's looked terrible in both his outings at 147, and the level of competition in that division would cremate his remains. I reckon he'd still stand a chance against a few names at 140, but he'd get brutally stopped again by someone in the end - even Maidana could possibly do it.

Don't forget Ortiz in this 'tournament'. I still like the kid.

[Steak]

well, single elimination tourneys usually work out like this: the most 'favoured' guys are matched up against the most 'unfavoured' guys throughout the tourney. that way the best two guys supposedly get into the final, instead of some mediocre guy that just fought his way there winning over lucky weak competition. they want a real good final, after all.
Im sure people are familiar with how it works.

oh yea, I forgot Vic Ortiz too! how could I? so Ill add him there instead of Hatton

Ortiz vs Urango
Malignaggi vs Diaz II
Devon Alexander vs Kotelnik
Campbell vs Bradley II
Khan vs Maidana
Holt vs Peterson

imo, that would be the best 1st round matchups. I know a lot of people would like to see those controversial rematches, so Id get them out of the way right away.
Itd be pretty kickass, eh?

[Libido Sanchez]

It would be great for boxing.

[PittyPat]

I'm definitely feeling this, Black. But could we maybe take Diaz out of it? I think he looked **** above 135, and there's plenty of competition down there in his natural division for him to still **** with (a rematch with Katsidis wouldn't go amiss IMO).

In which case, might as well add Hatton back in.

[Libido Sanchez]

Less belts, more tourneys.
