Fighters List for the Next Contender!!!!

[DLT]

Seems like it has some solid guys & recognizable names on here but I was going to make a thread 2 weeks ago talking about how sick I am of the Contender. Was I the only one? I was sick of seeing all these ESPN shows featuring them and sick of seeing them fight eacother over & over again. Maybe since this is a new one then I can get back into it again.

[Easy-E]

not one undefeated prospect? last season had like 5....

Thats pretty weak.

Ebo Elder and Steve Forbes are really good fighters.

[DLT]

I dont know guys. He has no unbeatens but he has more real legit fighters.

Also, I think alot of unbeaten fighters probally didnt want to come on the show after they saw how guys were losing there great records in 5 round fights.

I aslo think the show felt a littile guilty about having these guys losing there good records. I also think they wanted a littile more proven guys and give them a shot to make big money because they have kind of earned it

Michael Stewart has been in with Ricky Hatton and Mitchell as well I think.

[-X-]

stewart gave Hatton a little trouble....and Elder and Forbes are young contenders and even Eason is good.

Jeff Fraza was there last year. He had to leave before he even fought.

That is great that he gets another shot. He is currently trained by Micky Ward.

I'm rooting for Steve Forbes, I think he'll win this.
