Let's just say SRL finally dipped his hands into the HW stash and ran a season for HW's. Would you watch with these fighters and who would you want to see fight in the contender HW edition?

Tony Thompson
Eddie Chambers
Leo Nolan
JD Chapman
Brian Minto
Malik Scott
Dominick Guinn
Damian Wills

A lot of HW fights a pretty dull these days. They'd have to really do a lot of editing and add some fast paced music to make those fights entertaining.

You would see a lot more KO's and monster punches.

And also a lot more clinching and standing around.

Throw in Mesi and Ruslan Chagav and then they'd have something. I think that they could do something like this, its possible. The heavyweights need something like this to spark interest in the division, and a reality show profiling young talent in the division might do it some good, but might just illustrate how pathetic the division is. **** it, I'd be down to see it. Might give me some hope, I dunno.

[King Koyle]

That seems like a good list.I would watch it!I would add Jason Estrada though.

First thing is casting. You wouldn't want to cast big fat lazy HW's on the show. Some decent young talent and a million dollar prize should get them fighting.

As long as they are young fighters who are in good shape then it could work out. If we get guys with James Toney syndrome or Danny Williams disease then it would be boring.

This is exactly true. The heavyweights nowadays have no amateur background by and large, and you simply cannot fight if you don't have an amateur background. The amateurs is where a fighter perfects his skills, particularly keeping your balance and footwork while throwing punches. Since most of them have no footwork, they can't throw punches in combination because they'd fall off balance. If you don't have balance and footwork, they're gonna clinch in situations better schooled fighters would throw punches. Not to mention, 230 pound guys aren't typically ballerinas.

I agree, thats why my list if full of young talent.
