The big chatter circulating around in the industry is HBO’s idea of a junior welterweight tournament that involves WBA champion Amir Khan, WBC champion Devon Alexander, Victor Ortiz and WBA-interim champion Marcos Maidana. [details]

Why is Ortiz being given a second chance? Quitting in a fight and not going out on your shield is UNFORGIVABLE -
Whats the point of a tournament with only 4 people, just have Khan fight Alexander, Ortiz rematch Maidana and winners fight, no need for a tournamentComment

A tournament with these four will not work so effectivley.
The reason why the 2001 Middleweight tournament of 4 fighters worked was because there was a grand prize of the Undisputed Championship.
This JR WW tournament does not offer such an end prize.
So I guess just have them fight eachother...no need to call it a tournament.Comment

They're calling it a tournament for the sake of calling it that.
They had Taylor-Spinks and Pavlik-Miranda on the same card with the plan of them facing each other in their next fight. Same ****.
Show the difference between Showtime and HBO. The Super 6 rules, money distribution, and matchup was discovered when they were all but done. This tourney is still in the premature stages.
Good **** and props to HBO for stepping up. Hopefully, they can keep being innovative for the good of the sport.Comment

This is a step in the right direction by HBO. No need to pay Chad Boreson and Boreme Berto $40,000,000,000 each to defend paper belts against no hopers.
This is good stuff, surprised to see so much criticism.Comment

They could atleast add Urango and Judah and make a 6 man round robin.Comment

Kendall Holt's name should be in there before Ortiz's......Vic just quit in his last fight......can't reward bitchassness like that!!Comment
