the contender what series had the better fighters?

Series 1, aint even close.

series 1 was way better.

series 2- They had bums and so many fighters in their 30's with children, who were not good enough when they were younger and this tournament was their last chance.

At least in series 1, you had up and coming fighters like Ishe Smith, Sergio Mora, Peter Manfredo.

Series one was much better in my opinion. They had some decent prospects not alot of journeymen like two had. Just look at the winner of two and that will tell you what you need to know. Forbes was probably the best fighter out of both, but he was just too small to win the final.

I forgot about Smith, he has some real talent imo.

The 2nd series was terrible quality and many of the fights just seem to degenerate into brawling with very little skill. The fact the guy who won it if im not wrong had already lost 10 or 11 times shows the quality of the fighters.

[Hammerfall]

Smith is the only fighter of each series that'll go anywhere.

Mark my words.

in all honesty i cant see a single fighter out of any of the two series doing anything major

In Smith's win over Randall Bailey he looked like the real deal to me. The contender series seems like it set him back with a long layoff and now his comeback fights have been against mediocre opponents.

I think we can expect good news in the future about Ishe Smith, he has signed with Golden Boys since Contender.
