How About A New Heavyweight Tournament

[Mr. Violence]

It would be nice to see a Heavywieght Tournament much like the one they had for the Middleweights a few years ago in which Hopkins won. It would be interesting to see who would end up winning all the belts in this Heavyweight Touranment. In your opinion out of the current Heavyweights, who do you think will come out on top?

[Mr. Violence]

another thing I'd like to ask is do you think that James Toney has a shot at winning a tournament like this at heavyweight?

These tournements that you see are designed to showcase two fighters fighting lesser opposition for the purpose of having them fight against eachother in a later, bigger payperview fight.

You are not going to see the 4 heavyweight champions all fight eachother in a tournement where the best one wins.

You will be lucky to see one unification fight in 2005.

King got burned when Hopkins beat Tito so he's unlikely to start up another tournament and risk losing all the belts to a competing fighter.

Having said that I'd give Toney a good shot, and maybe (emphasis on the "maybe") Klitchko. Of course King could just rig it all so that the judged give Ruiz every fight. It's too hard to discuss this without taking the King factor into account.

It ain't a heavyweight tournament that we need...just...better heavyweights! You can call Battle for Supremacy a mini-tournament but it wasn't big.

so in your opinion you are saying that the overall quality of the heavyweights are bad and that finding one true champ wouldn't help?

Sadly no it won't help. Because he would be dubbed champ of a division that lacks talent. Quality of opposition is weak so I doubt the title of being true HW champ would help. Might help the boxer but certainly not the division.
