They should have a tournament at 160

A legit HBO tournament could be set up, it would be huge, bigger than the super 6.
I'd have:
Barker v Geale II
GGG v Murray
The winner fights each other for the chance of then facing Martinez in the "final"
I've tried to keep this as realistic as possible, all HBO fighters, I'd rather see Barker v Sturm but noway does Sturm leave Germany and fight in the US, which is what he'd have to do.
GGG v Murray could be made after Stevens and once Murray's visa issues are sorted. Plus it's a more competitive fight than GGG/Barker/N'Dam/Rubio. And of course the big prize is a Martinez match up.Comment

Barker has about 2 fights max left in him I think, 1 if he loses his first defence.
He should fight murray for a big pay day, as long as he doesn't give
Macklin a shot, Arrogant MM doesn't deserve it and thinks he's a big name in America
Got 5 loses to his name now.Comment

Nightmare scenario is Sturm beating Barker in December/January and taking the belt back to Germany.Barker has about 2 fights max left in him I think, 1 if he loses his first defence.

That's assuming barker wins those fights. Probably lucky to beat geale last weekendIdeally we'd have:
Martinez (RING/WBC) v Golovkin (WBA)
Quillin (WBO) v Barker (IBF)
More realistically we'll have:
HBO warming-up a Sergio/GGG fight
Martinez (RING/WBC) v Rubio? April 2014
Golovkin (WBA) v Stevens/Mora/Pirog late-2013-mid-2014
Martinez (RING/WBC) v Golovkin (WBA) late-2014
Barker fighting his way up
Barker (IBF) v Sturm December 2013
Barker (IBF) v Geale II mid-2014
Barker (IBF) v Murray late-2014
Barker/Murray (IBF) v Golovkin (?)/Quillin (WBO) mid-2015Comment

If they did have a tournament at 160 I'd bet ggg would clean the division out. Unless kid chocolate somehow was to beat him which I'd doubt considering the fact he's ducking him.Comment

Only Quillin is with Showtime/Golden Boy so it could actually easily work on HBO being that dibella, k2, main events, etc all work together.
But Martinez obviously wouldn't participate since he's injured and probably at the tail end of his career. So it would be a little pointless now I mean it could be Golovkin, Murray, Macklin, Geale, Barker, Stevens. Maybe Pirog and Ndam but Pirog has had so any injuries not sure if he would be up for a tournament.Last edited by ИATAS; 08-21-2013, 10:47 AM.Comment
