They should have a tournameant at 140lbs

[S.G.]

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?

I'd let Malignaggi v Diaz II simmer

Malignaggi v Alexander and Diaz v Kotelnik instead

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).

sure, we could take him out and replace him with Alvarado or Witter. not too big a loss, eh?

I just figure Diaz would want to be in on it, knowing his choice of opponents.

yea that would be a nice tournament... but every division right now should have one.. even if its a mini tournament with four fighters.

fair enough, but I think that there would be a good chance that Malignaggi would lose to Alexander, making the rematch not happen.

Well, Witter is going to 147 so effectively he's already out of this. Plus, he got pretty much trounced by Alexander (of whom I don't think much at this point), and would otherwise be a stylistic nightmare to watch against anyone.

And yeah, I'll actually take back what I said about Diaz - that Malignaggi rematch needs to happen, so the only option would be to have him at 140 (if the Baby Cow could bring it upon himself not to do catchweights again).

hmm... i think Alexander/Malignaggi would be competitive but i'd be surprised if Paulie lost

in my opinion if he couldn't get past Alexander while Diaz kept winning it would maybe be the right thing to shelf the rematch anyway and have Diaz chalk it up to a tough night that's in the past now

Also I think Campbell and Holt should fight each other for the opportunity to rematch Bradley. I think Campbell beats Holt and gives Bradley a good fight over 12 rounds

well, not everyone in the tourney has to be a world beater. everyones gonna end up losing in it eventually anyway, its ok to have 1 or 2 loose ends thatll be knocked off early.

look at us, talking like actually gonna happen.
but man, a tourney 140lbs isnt just a dream come true...its actually possible. not a lot of the guys at 140 are too high end to refuse to fight in it, but theres still plenty of talent there.

Lol... I so wish I was a big powerful boxing promoter

I do think this should happen tourney or no though!

Also bear in mind that a few of those guys are on Showtime, so if they've still got the cash after the Super Six...

Even ESPN could get involved.
