    Best divisions for tournaments

    In which division would you like to see a tournament style schedule of match ups? Like how we had the Super Six? Personally, I would like to see it in these divisions...

    Heavyweight: Like Super Six, with Fury, Wilder, Joshua, Ortiz, Wladimir and Parker.

    Light Heavyweight: 4 Man Tournament, with Ward, Kovalev, Stevenson and Beterbiev.

    Middleweight: 4 Man Tournament, with Golovkin, Canelo, Saunders and Jacobs.

    Along with a few others, but you got the point.

      Imagine a tournament with Pacquiao, Spence, Thurman, Garcia, Bradley, Brook, Porter and Khan. Would be epic.

          believe it or not i think the heavyweight division would be a really interesting tournament for a undisputed champ that would bring the whole sport back to its prime

          could be something like

          joshua
          wilder
          clit
          ortiz
          parker
          fury
          haye

          and just cause he deserves it the CHAMP himself Shannon the CANNON

              HW, JMW, and WW are just screaming for tournaments. Sadly, we don't get true tournaments anymore because promoters don't cooperate.

                    There's too much money to be made with other fights in your chosen division for any of those fighters to commit to the tournament format.

                    The easiest answer is you look at the divisions with talent but no real big-time stars, though pause the political stuff for a moment:

                    -135 (Linares, Flanagan, Mikey Garcia, Easter Jr, Zlaticanin, one of Shafikov/Petrov/Crolla)

                    -130 (Lomachenko, Vargas, Pedraza, Salido, Corrales/Uchiyama winner, Miura/Roman winner)

                    -122 (Rigondeuax, Magdaleno, Donaire, Servania, Flores, Guzman)

                    -118 (Warren, McDonnell, Payano, Haskins, Yamanaka, Tete)


                    If I had the money (i'd argue that $5m would be more than enough to put something together to keep everyone interested), I'd run the Super Six at bantamweight (118lbs)
