    Ismayl Sillakh vs Chris Henry - Jean Pascal vs Zsolt Erdei

    Winners face off and the last man standing becomes the mandatory for the wbc belt currently hold by b-hop.

    Sillakh vs hopkins 2012?:happy

    I like this tournament and hope all the guys participate. I think the Henry-Sillahk match up could be very entertaining. Does Dawson or Hopkins face the winner of this? I think Dawson would face any of them but Hopkins isn't going to fight Henry or Sillahk if they win. Still, good to see some competitive matches lined up, just hope it comes off.

    That would be ideal but I think Dawson is the only one who is a given to fight the winner of the tournament. Hopkins won't face a young guy who isn't a draw like Sillakh and Henry, even if he wins the tournament, isn't much of a draw. But I can see Hopkins facing Pascal a third time and also Erdei, especially if he won this. Good fights let hope they come off.

    Cloud should be included somewhere! The big event in the the future could be Sillakh vs Cloud end of 2012.

    Sounds interesting. However I wouldn't be surprised at all if Pascal fought Cloud instead. There were some rumours about that possibility too. It would make more senes for him IMO.

    maybe cloud can fight the hopkins/dawson winner next and then the winner of that fight can face off with the winner from this tournament. It would certainly make the 175 division more exciting.
    By the way it seems that jean pascal is cut from the same cloth asfroch when it comes to facing opponents, he seems willing to face any of the guys.
