Throwback Memories: The Contender

[BigAlexSand]

They need to do another contender but make it with some decent names...

154ish contender cast
Kirkland
VICTOR ORTIZ
angulo
Camacho jr
Rosado
Omar chavez
Cintron
Mosely

This would be great reality TV with that set of characters... Tons of drama and storylines

Golden boy should try to sign something of that nature at 154 bringing in Lara. Unify the titles. Another Super Six Type battle between Super Welterweights.

Street fight. Dude always out at the club, testing dudes and finally hurt someone real bad. I don't think he is even out yet.

Dang. wish I could have seen some of those fights. Would anyone step up to him?

That was the problem. A lot of people didn't kno who he was and he was always out looking for some type of altercation. Cool dude, if he kicked it with you...

Loved it. First season felt special. At the time, I had lost the interest in boxing I had when I was real little and the Contender brought me back.
In 2005 you had the UFC rising up and it was basically pitched in a way that was glorifying the violence and anger while the Contender reminded us that boxing is something more classy and intelligent. MMA has changed quite a bit in 11 years and is now sold much in the same way boxing is.
