    Round Robin Style everyone fights everyone in their division the fighter with the beat record after the 5 fights wins their division and goes on to play the winner of the other division. Think of it like College Football except you only play in your division until the conference championship

    Division A

    Michael Spinks
    David Tua
    Ray Mercer
    James Toney
    Jimmy Young
    Ernie Terrell


    Division B

    David Haye
    Michael Moorer
    Ernie Shavers
    Post Jail 90s Mike Tyson
    Hasim Rahman
    Chris Byrd

    Most people have no idea how college football works.

    The best fighter from group A, in my opinion, is Young.

    The best in B, for me, is Tyson. However, something mad might happy with him, so i'll pick Byrd to sneak through.

    Young v Byrd, i'm trying to think about that fight now, but it's so boring I can't get past the first round.

    Young matches up best in his column but would possibly lose to Spinks H2H ..

    Tyson beats all his ..

    Tyson beats Young and or Spinks ..

    I always wondered how Spinks would have done vs a post prison Tyson.
