    With the Super 6 coming up I thought of a tournament for heavyweights sort of like the '93 tournament that Tony Tubbs won in Bay City.

    It would be for middle-of-the-road heavyweights. Would anybody watch something like this? It could be a night of nostalgia.

    The participants would look something like this:

    Frans Botha
    Mike Mollo
    Michael Grant
    Brian Minto
    Cedric Boswell
    Taras Bidenko
    Paolo Vidoz
    Davarryl Williamson
    Travis Walker
    Timor Ibragimov
    Lance Whitaker

    It could be 3 rounds per fight just like the other one. I know what you're all saying. Retreads and has-beens blah blah blah. I think it would be interesting to watch. What about everyone else?

    Like the idea cruiser. As always i like Botha chances. But could you see some changes to the line up? What about Golota? Or holyfield? Sorry but my nostalgia runs away with me sometimes! It could be like the big heavyweight fights that never happened in the 90's.

    We have something like this in the UK (Prizefighter).

    Middle of the road heavies appearing in the next tournament (which is 3 rounds, quarters, semis, finals and all done on the same night) are names that some of you guys in the general will have heard of like Audley Harrison and Danny Williams :good

    The HW already had a small tournament which was won by Povetkin.
