    Yeah, could do, well, you could take the lightweights if you wanted, I'll do either welterweights or light heavyweights. Need some more people for the others.

    Okay so what's the tried and tested format then?

    I was going to put all my first round fights out tomorrow, and give everyone say a couple weeks to get their voted in?

    He's cetainly a greater welter than a light, but he was just making the point that he could easily be included here, like i have Pryor in.

    Give it about ten days for voting and bump them all every couple of days if you can. Title would typically be like...

    147lbs Tournament - Pernell Whitaker versus Benny Leonard

    ... If you put the numbers and the right capital letters it sort of stands out from the rest, well I find that anyway.

    And just make sure you specify the rules, i.e., fifteen or twelve rounds, weight of gloves (going to be quite important for old vs. new matchups).

    Yes, if Napoles were fighting nowadays. He would have easily picked up a Lightweight belt or two & moved up in class.
