The WBA HW tournament is a waste of time...

[joe strong]

Chagaev retired, Browne gets stripped for PEDS, Wlad/Fury rematch still in limbo, Ortiz has pretty much dropped out & Fres Oquendo is still in it without fighting in a few years. Haye could be added & even Briggs with their rankings. Just scrap the dumb interim & regular champion names as we all know Fury is the true WBA champion. The HW division was looking so promising & now it's a total mess...Ustinov vs Haye for the right to fight Fury/Klitschko winner?

Yeah, the tournament is a complete disaster. How the hell is fres quendo an actual contender.

Because he won a court case against Chagaev's promoter that got him his full purse & he had a rematch clause. What I don't get is he was scheduled to get that rematch but dropped out injured so that is when Browne replaced him & pulled the upset. Who the hell knows what will happen next?

The tournament is a great idea, you have nothing to really support the fights not happening, only assumptions.

Because of one fighter? wow.

Sure it's a great idea if they actually fight. I do know Browne beat Chagaev then got stripped. The belt got handed back to Chagaev only for him to retire. Wlad/Fury has been postponed twice & we could see a 3rd one. Ortiz/Ustinov fight has been in limbo twice already & what exactly has anyone heard out of the fres Oquendo team? It seems like it has been a waste of time so far.

There is a multitude of reasons why this tournament is a disaster.. No just because of one fighter.. But having fres oquendo in the tournament is the most glaring reason why this thing is so absurd

Maybe, but let's just see. I think the tourney carries on, and hope it does, there are some great fights forced that way. I want to see Fury/Ortiz.

Ok I agree Oquendo is undeserving but what are the other reasons?

Fres
There is 3 titles, kinda already a joke to begin with
Browned n peds
Chagev losing, getting reinstated as champ, retiring
Wlad/fury rematch still hasn't happened, holding everything up

Tournament is a fine idea, but just a complete disaster of how its actually played out.

That would be a great fight but I honestly don't see the Fury/Klitschko winner fighting in this tourney after the fight. Both guys will look for Joshua/Wilder fights. At this point I would also be surprised if Oquendo actually gets in the ring again. With Chagaev gone maybe we will see Valuev & John Ruiz come out & fight it out for the WBA interim, regular, emeritus, baltic ruby belt...
