      It would be good but doesn't excite me as much as the super 6 that Showtime has put together, that middleweight tournament was pretty much a single elimination tournament which consisted of 3 fights. Not saying it isn't good but it just could be better.

        This has potential. I've been saying that 140 would be great territory for a tourney. Even if it only ends up with 4 guys, its better than nothing, but they can't bill this format as round robin. It's weird that the article said that.

            Who said anything about Khan being better than those guys? He'd be in it because of his title. 140 lbs is stacked . You could have malignaggi , alexander, diaz , maidana , ortiz ,khan,bradley etc. The matchups are great and the article said they'd be able to conclude a winner quicker than the super six (2 years is too long to have a definite winner).

                  To get the very best from welter would cost a hell of a lot more than a 140lbs tourney

                      This would be good.
                      I like the just 4, but I also would like to see someone like Holt in there and Campbell maybe make it a 6 man one as well.
