    A 140 tournament will be the biggest thing in boxing right now

    It would be even bigger than Pacquiao v Mayweather.

    Get Bradley, Khan, Maidana, Salita, Judah, Guerrero, Morales (maybe Peterson if a tournament is too much for Morales), Alexander/Matthysse and have an 8-way tournament.

    Too many big fights to be made without some sort of tournament to make them happen.

    And the only reason any of them would back out is due to fear of losing as there's too much to gain from it.

    Mayweather isn't fighting. Pacquiao won't be for much longer. The winner is going to easily overtake their mantles. There's too much tough opposition for the winner not to massivly increase their stock and become P4P 1 or 2 by the end of it.

    Twitter them all and HBO/Showtime and make them want it!!

            What's wrong? He suffered a flash knockdown which he was too young to know how to recover from and he's gone on to win every fight since.

            Who do you want instead?

              If the Super Six and the difficulty of negotiations independent of any tournament between the fighters at 140 has taught us anything, it's that this type of tournament would be impossible to pull off correctly.
