    They need to TOTALLY change the format From a Tournament to a ROUND-ROBIN!!

    I would like to see a Braggin' Rights Format.

    COUNTRY VS COUNTRY.

    Example:

    Lets say they do an ELITE 8...

    4 Fighters from PUERTO RICO vs 4 Fighters from MEXICO.

    Each fighter is Guaranteed 4 fights...And each fighter will fight a different fighter (from the opposing Country) each time...And All on the same night and Alternating Venues...
    1st Round in Mexico
    2nd Round in Puerto Rico...and on & on.

    And the Country with the Most Wins....HAS BRAGGIN' RIGHTS.

    Imagine:

    PUERTO RICO vs MEXICO
    CUBA vs PHILLIPINES
    EUROPE vs CANADA
    SOUTH AMERICA vs PUERTO RICO
    USA vs LATIN AMERICA

    And this could actually be a really good Idea WITHIN THE USA...EXAMPLE:

    NEW YORK vs LOS ANGELES
    PHILADELPHIA vs OAKLAND
    DETROIT vs MIAMI

    This maybe difficult to do with the TOP-SHELF ELITE-LEVEL TITLE HOLDERS....

    But I honestly Believe that this would be a great idea for HOT YOUNG PROSPECTS!!!

    Nah, I like how it is now without teams and nationalism. It would seem like the olympics. Anyway, anyone know if there is a super six eliminator in store for the weltweights next year?

    No Way...The Amatuer/Olympics has a BS Scoring System.

    I think a COUNTRY VS COUNTRY BRAGGIN' RIGHTS format...would be a great idea for Young Prospects to fight each other instead of AVOIDING each other....Like they do NOW!!!!

    I been saying this since the Mexico vs. Phillippines world cup a few years back.

    Nationality pride sells, boxing is becoming a more worldwide parity sport.

    These nation vs nation match ups dont even need to have their top fighters in it, just find a bunch of decent C level fighters from both nations and have them go up against each other with a team scoring system.

    If the U.S vs U.K contender matchup can have success, then surely these other boxing world cups can too.

    I absolutely Agree!!!! I would like to see HOT YOUNG PROSPECTS involved in this.

    Imagine Mexicans Like Victor Ortiz, Saul Alverez & Juan Diaz Fighting Puerto Rico's (or Nuyorican) Top young 140lbs Young Fighters.

    I would Love to see this!!!

    round robin is alot better than eliminator. More fights and it allows the fighters to have an off night and come back from it.

    Good Idea but personally I couldn't care less where these fighters are from I just want to see the best fighters fight the best fighters. Sometimes when you start pitching Mexican against Puerto Rico and stuff like that, I am not Mexican or Puerto Rican so for me I couldn't care less about their rivalry and I would probably be a distant spectator and that kind of alienates other fighters who might be good but who's country dont have enough good fighters to make up the numbers so my point is if it aint broke dont fix it.

    The tournament hasn't even started yet and people already trying to change the format. Give the thing a chance 1st.

    Regardless of where these fighters are from they can just be included in a tournament but it doesn't have to be based on trying to divide people up as it can alienate some other countries and fighters who may only have 1 good fighter so bang them in a tournament but take away all this rivalry **** and let the best fight whoever the best is regardless of where their from.

    I was simply using them as the Example...With you being from Essex...How about UK vs Germany, UK vs Australia, UK vs Ukraine and more.

    Maybe we could have a heavyweight tournament by country.

    The USA will be represented by Eddie Chambers and the holograms of Tyson, Holyfield, Frazier, and Foreman that they used for Vitali's entrance against Peter.

    If you want that watch amateur boxing, we just want the best pros versus the best pros, thats what boxing needs not more country rivalries. Simply country versus country give us the best versus the best and would give plenty of sub standard competitors. Plus no pro cares if he won an international between 2 countries, would never happen and thats a good thing.
