Welterweight super tournament....

[Jsmooth9876]

Let's assume for a moment there was no Cold War and Floyd and Manny would fight each other and let's see who wins this tourney.
12 fighters,all at 147 in 2015.
#1 Floyd,#2 Pacquiao,#3 Bradley,#4 JMM all get a first round bye.

Here's the matchups....
#5 Maidana vs #12 Matthysee
#6 Porter vs #11 D Garcia
#7 Thurman vs #10 Khan
#8 Alexander vs #9 Brook

No reseeding so
Floyd vs winner of Alexander vs Brook
Manny vs winner of Thurman vs Khan
Bradley vs winner of Porter vs Garcia
JMM vs winner of Maidana vs Matthysee

1st round I have
Maidana
Porter
Thurman by brutal KO lol
??? Alexander I guess based on him actually fighting top level guys
2nd round
Floyd vs Alexander : Floyd
JMM vs Maidana :Maidana in a great fight
Bradley vs Porter : go with Bradley I guess but wow it would be a good fight
Manny vs Thurman: holy cow what a fight...lean toward Manny at the moment but one punch,one time and it's lights out.

3rd round
Floyd vs Chino: Floyd again and again,super close fight
Manny vs Bradley: da....manny again...

And then the finals
Floyd vs Manny: Floyd 114-114,115-113,116-112

Those rankings are all messed up.

Reppin' it.

Whys that? The top 3 are fine,JMM still belongs above Maidana . Porter and Thurman are the next 2. Then the rest in any order really. Where is the issue? And I put khan above Lucas and Garcia only because he has a fight at 147 so they go to the bottom as new comers to the division.

So, why is Floyd fighting the Alexander/Brook winner again?? He's the best and they're, well, rather busted.

Because it a tournament style bracket so,he'd fight the 8-9 winner

Perfectly fine rankings IMO, nothing wrong.

So here's how I see it:

Here's the matchups....
#5 Maidana vs #12 Matthysee
#6 Porter vs #11 D Garcia
#7 Thurman vs #10 Khan
#8 Alexander vs #9 Brook

No reseeding so
Floyd vs winner of Alexander vs Brook (Brook wins close decision)
Manny vs winner of Thurman vs Khan (Thurman by KO 5)
Bradley vs winner of Porter vs Garcia (Garcia by UD)
JMM vs winner of Maidana vs Matthysee (Maidana by UD)

Floyd v Brook, Floyd schools Brook here
Manny v Thurman, what a war but Manny takes Thurman apart late, TKO 9
Bradley v Garcia, Bradley outboxes Garcia down the stretch
JMM V Maidana, JMM barely makes it to the 12th, loses SD

Then it'd end:

Floyd/Maidana 2
Manny/Bradley 3

Floyd squeeks through with another close win and Manny ends the trilogy with another wide win.

Floyd v Manny, it's too late for Manny, he'd lose a very close decision, even though both guys are fading, Manny is is faded even more. It's still 51/49 though, just how tight this fight is.

Something like that would be great to watch as a fan.

Don't be silly, if a tournament like this is announced Floyd retires yet again.
