    At what weight would you love to see it, if somehow this shows comes back, or another one similar is made in 2013. What fighters will they realistically be able to bring on the show?

    I liked the show but now UFC has copied boxing yet again and given the public,"the ultimate fighter." And by "ultimate" they mean he's an expert Grappler who took a boxing class at summer camp.

    Heavyweight would be fun. Maybe 140-147 would be ideal though

    The first season was the best, they killed it with the second and all that followed in my opinion. Wish they would bring it back as they introduced it.

    I would like the contender to come back mainly for the reason that it gets more casual fans involved and interested and it puts boxing back on main stream just like the first contender series did.

    I would like the weight class to be either 140-147 or 160

    Yeah, it served a purpose and drew in casuals...like Prizefighter in the UK and Bigger's Better in continental Europe.

    I agree with Scar, season 1 was amazing.

    I'm a little biased, I would love to see my own weight class - either lightweight or light welter.

    They should stick with the original format, though.

    None of this edited & musically-scored bouts crap and over-emphasis on behind-the-scenes sob stories.

    I'd love to see The Contender bite a chunk out of TUF's ratings. :good

    Or ODLH could revive "The Next Great Champ" and maybe try not to have it suck this time. :lol:
