Comments Thread For: World Boxing Super Series: Heavyweights Eyed For 2020

[juggernaut666]

Why are posters mentioning guys lined up for title shots or suggesting a losing fighter will enter ?

Sirenko / DDD / Hrgovic / Ajagba / Mahkmudov / Joyce / Parker / Miller /


That's in an ideal world there no weak links there so I'll be surprised if 1/4 of those guys are in.

I love the announcement BUT this will be very difficult to accomplish. Lots of variables.

Don't even act like you're not declaring bankruptcy the second the finals end.

Dillian Whyte, Daniel Dubois, Filip Hrgovic, Agit Kabayel and the winner of the Joseph Parker-Chisora fight as possible entrants.

Hell YES, sign me up and add:

Joe Joyce
Pricey
Wallin

So an all European tournament? meh. I'll be Team Pricey for the **** of it.

Middleweight tournament wouldn't have Canelo and I am pretty sure Charlo won't jump in. Heavyweight tournament wouldn't have Ruiz, Fury, Wilder or Joshua. Pulev, Charr and Usyk probably won't be in there because they all have mandatory rights I believe. their While nice tournaments can still be made in this divisions it will still be lamer than any of the previous tournaments.

Heavyweight

1. Joseph Parker (if he beats Derek Chisora)
2. Dillian Whyte
3. Alexander Povetkin
4. Adam Kowlenachi
5. Jarrell Miller
6. Luis Ortiz
7. Oscar Rivas
8. Carlos Takam
Alternates
Derek Chisora or *TBA vs Michael Hunter
Hughie Fury vs. Otto Wallin
*If Joseph Parker loses to Chisora everyone currently ranked 2-5 moves up a rank while Parker drops from #1 to #6. Derek Chisora would then be ranked #5 and Carlos Takam drops from # 8 to challenging Michael Hunter for the first alternate position..

Whyte has WBC mandatory right so he won't. Also, with WBSS and Matchroom colaboration on Taylor / Prograis card, if WBSS are talking tournament, it will be with the 2nd tier Matchroom heavyweights.

Parker, Rivas, Ortiz (if he doesn’t beat Wilder), Morrison, etc. The original poster was right by the way

Parker is new zealander
Rivas is Colombian
Ortiz is Cuban

the O.P said he is only interested in a US heavyweight tournament

I don't think its limited to matchroom. This would be the 3rd tournament and not everyone is signed with matchroom.

These mfers just dont wanna eff with US guys.

After all the drama with Baranchyk and Prograis, I doubt any serious contenders will join in 2020!

They brag about water tight contracts while they play games. Baranchyk signed a contract to fight in Russia, but somehow the only available place was the Hydro? Water tight on one end.
