    In a perfect world Id like to see the Featherweights in some sort of tourney.

    Gamboa-Cuba
    John-Indonesia
    Salido-Mexico
    JuanMa Lopez-PR
    Rafa Marquez-Mexico
    Mikey Garcia-USA

    Rigondeaux, Arce, or Vazquez Jr could come up 4 pounds to participate. And I have to think Montiel and Donaire would move up 2 divisions to participate too. They already drain themselves to make Bantam.

    Problem is Arum is on record saying he'd never put his fighters in such a tourney.

    I think its doable at Cruiser and at the very low weight classes because those guys would give up match making rights (to a certain extent) for a schedule format because they'll make more money in the long run because its a group promotion and headlining dates would be guaranteed for every fight.

    I think everyone can learn from The Super Six. If it happened again they'd probably fight 2 or 4 fights in the group stage, a home and away scenario. Nobody would get all their fights in their home country. Refs would be from a neutral country, and both fighters would get one home judge with a 3rd neutral country judge. in addition dropping out for any reason would end up in a stiff penalty and a forefit of purse money and/or belts.

    It can be done, the contender series and prizefighter showed the fighters dont all have to be top tier for it to work. It would be nice but they all dont have to be holding a belt.
    Solid post my man

      CW is best, but the reason why the supersix went pretty well was because several guys from the super six already had big fan bases.


      the tourny at bantamweight was less successful

        I'm wit MikeRo1972, featherweight with single elimination would be great for the sport.
