Sounds like a great idea. Perhaps they could make a few adjustments on the participants, but good nonetheless.
ya they can keep hernandez in but enzo gotta go hes on his way dwn . they need to swap him for flores or afolabi. or we can just watch enzo get crushed on drop out like jermaine
Guillermo Jones is a top 3 cruiserweight if he still wants to fight. I think he can beat anyone at cruiser.
i[d prefer it in cruiserweight, because the top fighters have risky fights and are usually very exciting. it is one gritty division where the top fighters usually have to go life and death for their prize. it's been a no money division for too long. give these guys something to fight for and guarantee the best vs the best and it'll absolutely explode.
think cunningham's first 2 fights will be hernandez and huck http://sports.espn.go.com/sports/boxing/news/story?id=5164140
he's a former world champion and is coming off a KO win in russia. there are plenty of good fighters in this tournament. if they can bring money to the cruiserweight division, then this is good. because all the best fighters always leave cruiserweight, for heavyweight. there could have been amazing fights if haye and adamek had stayed down there. but for them to have done that, there would have had to be good money to keep them there, which there wasn't. great to see showtime back with the cruiserweights. they did sterling work with braithwaite, mormeck and o'neil bell. they also televised haye and adamek's first title defenses.
I hope this would add some fireworks and importance to this neglected division. One thing's still disturbing me, still no news on Guillermo Jones, not even a mentioning in this super six... Including him would force him to fight more . People always say he's talented and underrated, A waste of talent if you ask me staying inactive...
Its a great idea, but half of the fighters dont belong, There re much better out there and im not talking about afolabi who sux badly and i have no idea what ppl see in him. Green, Macca And Hernandez should be replaced by: Alexeev, lebedev, Flores, Jones, or even ross. Tell me who would be excited about Hernandez-Maccarinelli? Or green-hernandez? no1 would give a **** about it. Cruiserweight is better than this.
Yeah they would add some real spark, but there's such a historic bias against the CW, that I can understand their decision to bolt away from it.
I dont know, I think it works better with younger up and coming fighters, some of those guys are too old and worn
