It's Official! Showtime to host super middleweight tournament featuring top fighters!

I'll go one further. I think Kessler is the only one that walks away from this in good shape.

 

This thing is popping up on more and more legitimate sites...

Now I understand that rumors can be just as viral as real newsbreaks, but...

 

IF, and that is a big IF, this happens, it could be the 'smaller' promoters trying to come up with something to go against the likes of Top Rank and Golden Boy. A new cartel if you will.

Formerly the ethos of prizefighting period, in golden ages bygone. :good

Zerophilia has not been a beneficial fandom development.

 

i cant believe people are complaining that the best will fight the best

 

They're skeptical. It's hard to blame them - this is boxing, after all. :yep But you don't want to be the villager who says phooey when the boy's screams warn of an actual wolf.

 

Not entirely true. This seems to be a 'clique' of smaller promoters looking to make waves. Bute is being shut out. Andrade is being shut out. Both have proven more at SMW than the to Andre's.....

 

I would take a face full of Sauerlands jizz if this tournament comes off...

Just to show my appreciation.

 

Even if that's so, "very good fighters taking on very good fighters" is enough of a rarity to be welcomed in relatively higher concentration than normal, isn't it?

 

This would really be a shot in the arm for Kessler's career! :happy

 

Rumor has it old Wilfred shoots quite a load.

 

:nono

It was Kalles idea not Wilfreds, that old **** can **** off.

 

Fair enough, but if you were to pick the top 6 who would they be? :think

Kessler
Froch
Taylor is iffy for me right now
Abraham has yet to fight at 168 and hasn't been in that stiff at 160 though I think he will be more in his comfort level at 168 weight/power wise.
Andre and Andre are prospects.

 

As proposed I see Kessler as the only real winner out of all this.

Let me be skeptical. Since this was a Saurland idea.

Get AA against Froch and if he wins his belt, AA drops out of the tourney.
