    I would take Amir Kahn off and put Alvarado...we've seen enough of him. But you can have 8 man tourney and really go hard. There needs to be more of this. The Super Six could have been greater than it was if more were involved and it was single elimination. Although the Round Robin is great because it offers other cool matchups, its not as good if there aren't more contestants

      Not sure Marquez would be game for this, hes in his 40's (Edit: nearly 40) now and needs to looking at cashing out (eg the Pac fight). I seriously doubt he would take a three fight contract against very dangerous opposition esp as some of them dont bring in big numbers...

      that being said love the idea! such a stacked division with fighters who can all beat each other! Plus a good chance for fighters like Matthysse to put their names on the map

        Lucas Matthysse

        Those are my picks... how would you match them up?

        Would really like to have Victor Ortiz in there though...

        that would be amazing. khan can sit his ass down somewhere though. i wouldn't mind vic, or joesesito, and guzman included as well.

          we'll how many times is he supposed to fight pacquiao?

          another floyd fight will never happen, a cotto fight might be a possibility if he's that desperate, which i don't think he is.

            This will probably be the last time he'll fight pac but i seriously doubt he'd do a tourney like this at his age and at this stage in his career. For the record i think he'd beat most at 140 head to head and i would love to see him pick apart these young fighters. However I think tourneys like this are for people looking for exposure, for example the 168 tournament no one came into it particularly popular (in america at least), and he already has it, maybe a fight against the winner of the 140 tourney would suit best? though he would be very old by this point...

            I dont think he is desperate for money, the fights against floyd and manny have probably set him up for a good while if he is smart with his money,

              i wouldn't put it against him doing it honestly. but it also wouldn't surprise me at all if he did end up fighting pacquiao again if he did win.

              the only other fight out there for him is a bradley fight.

                  I think any of those match ups has FOTY written all over it

                    No Lamont Peterson?

                    And if you're including JMM & Maidana who're at 147, you should have thrown in Bradley too

                      Im struggling to understand why some people think Marquez wins a potential tournaments hands down when he is almost 40 and never won a super fight in his life.

                      Good fighter and might start as favourite if it did happen but whats his best win? He's been beat by Norwood and John, dominated by Floyd and failed to beat Pac after 3 attempts. His best win on paper was probably over a washed up Barrera where he got outlanded and dropped so I dont see why the guy has a rep for being so formidabble.

                      He is a top light welter but I dont see him being that far ahead of the rest.
