The fact that Malinaggi and Alexander is in it just totally tarnishes it and makes it worthless and uninteresting.

Tournaments are always fun, but I'm not sure those are the fighters I want to see in a tournament (with the exception of Maidana and Mathysse, ofcourse). We'll see what they come up with before I give my full opinion.

More Tourneys! It's the way fwd for us punters and the general health of the sport. If it's anything like the bantam weight and Super six then it will be good

Margarito
Cotto

Thats what it should have been.

A 154 tournament is what needs to be made.

Maybe you want to read through the article before making a comment next time.

Richard clearly states that he wants to have the tournament take place over a 3 month period.

Say what you want but a tournament is a perfect way to get these guys to fight each other. Otherwise these guys will be just posturing for years without really fighting one another.

Just Golden Boy Fighters??? NO THANK YOU!!! That list of potential fighters is VERY WEAK!

Berto should be in that, as well as Mike Jones, Kell Brook, Jan Zaveck, Brad Solomon, Sebastian Lujan and Said Ouali

I wouldn't put any of those Golden Boy Fighters above those fighters as far as ranking them as Welterweights considering that they haven't did **** at Welterweight
