IDEA: How about a Boxing Tourney for Champ..

[TonyWomackFan]

Enough with these seperate belts... Is say Boxing unifies one belt, and has tourney for it..


You take the top 6 boxers from each weight class, and have a tourney


For example

Middleweight class
1.Jermain Taylor- Taylor and Hopkins get first round bye
2.Bernard Hopkins
3.Winky Wright
4.Artur Abraham
5.Sam Soliman
6.Felix Strum

Round 1

Felix Strum fights Winky Wirght
Sam Soliman fights Arthur Abraham

Round 2
Winky Wright fights Bernard Hopkins
Sam Soliman fights Jermain Taylor

Round 3
Winky Wright Fights Jermain Taylor...


We do this every division.. How cool would this be?... I don't watch much football, but they do something like this and our successful.. It would elimate ducking as well.

It sounds good, but until there is a national commision and the power is taken away from sanctioning organizations and indivdual promoters* it is nothing but a pipe dream.

I think it would be a great idea. Maybe take out a few weightclasses too. For example 140-147. Make it just 147. If you weigh in at 140 you could weigh in at 147 np.

190+ HW
170-190 - LH (get rid of cruiser altogether)
160-170 - Middle Weight
145-160 - Jr Middle
135-145 - Welter
125-135 - Lightweight
<125 Flyweight

You can't have a 145 lber going against a 160 lol.

That's why the 145'er will put on weight to be 160. Not saying that's the grouping I would use, but still it's not rocket science. Everybody knows there should be fewer weight divisions.

You're taking a step backwards, man...

There's a reason we have more weight classes than we used to

[Sliquestylez]

ha ha ha ha ha ha. Agoraphobic fighter like Hatton will never step out and Hypochondriac Cal****he will fake injury. Then the rest of ****ty wateshed British pretenders will get beat the living shiet out of them and British idiots will make hypothetical stuff like would have, should have to hype their chump.

I think there is definately too man, 19 man? I'd say at most you could have a weight division ever 6 pounds.... at most.
