    Earlier today...

    ?

    Right, so Teeto is doing the lightweights, I've taken the welterweights. Anyone want to pick a weight class? I'd stick to just the traditional eight for now, but whatever everyone prefers.

    Older posters will remember the last ones were quite good.

    I second that we just stick to the original eight for now.

    We can always sort out the others at a later date, they won't take as long to do either of course.

    I'm probably too lazy to run it, but if someone has the time and want to do it, I would love to see a bantamweight tournament. I don't recall it ever being done here.

    Some fighters I'd suggest for the tournament:

    1. Eder Jofre
    2. Terry McGovern
    3. Carlos Zarate
    4. Ruben Olivares
    5. Fighting Harada
    6. Manuel Ortiz
    7. Erik Morales
    8. Jeff Fenech
    9. Owen Moran
    10.Panama Al Brown
    11. Rafael Herrera
    12. Chucho Castillo
    13. Lupe Pintor
    14. Lionel Rose
    15. Jose Becerra
    16. Jose Medel
    17. Miguel Lora
    18. Orlando Canizales
    19. Raul Macias
    20. Junior Jones
    21. Jeff Chandler
    22. Vic Toweel
    23. Khaosai Galaxy
    24. Marco Antonio Barrera
    25. Alfonso Zamora
    26. Eijiro Murata
    27. Veeraphol Sahaprom
    28. Daorung Chuvatana
    29. Abe Goldstein
    30. Pete Herman
    31. Rafael Marquez
    32. Jimmy Carruthers

    Since it's a head-2-head thing, you might want to put in a Johnny Tapia, Raul Perez, Paulie Ayala or a Nana Konadu instead of fighters that don't have any film like Goldstein or Herman.

    It might only get a handful of guys giving opinions though which can get pretty boring after a while, a reason I pulled the pin on the 140 tournament....

    I'd still probably try to make room for Graziano, maybe swap him with Pender. Otherwise good list.
