    You could have a 16 man tournament with this.

    1. Paul Williams
    2. Sergio Martinez
    3. Felix Sturm
    4. Sebastian Sylvester
    5. Matthew Macklin
    6. Khoren Gevor
    7. Dimitri Pirog
    8. Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam
    9. Gennady Golovkin
    10. Sebastian Zbik
    11. Daniel Geale
    12. David Lemieux
    13. Andy Lee
    14. Darren Barker
    15. Craig McEwan
    16. Matt Korobov

    If you lose you are out of the tournament. Names get drawn completely at random. Whoever is drawn first has home advantage (unless they can agree to an alternative with their opponent). Have a thrid place playoff between the losers of the semi-finals.

    Competition takes place over 20 months. That's 16 really solid match ups in the division. How awesome would that be! Imagine the hype behind the final, it would reach Pac or Mayweather levels of interest. :bbb

    It's near impossible to make a reality though.

    Gotta go with the kid from BK Danny Jacobs. I've been following him for a while now. He'll be an Elite Middleweight Boxer for some time.

    I watched it. I thought martinez clearly won the fight. Styles make fights and martinez and hopkins were all wrong for pavliks style. Williams isnt as defensive as hopkins or martinez. Hes right in your face throwing a volume of punches. Williams offense is his best defense. If pavlik can hit you, you can forget about it! I dont care what you say, that fight is perfect for pavlik. Whoever matched pavlik with defensive wizards in hop and mart should be fired! Terrible matchmaking!

    Pavlik would have to fire himself. I don't think that would be a good career move.:nono

    Lemieux is the ****. Golovkin was also massively ducked by Mundine.

    I'm really looking forward to seeing Lemieux step up. I thought Ayala would give him a work out, but nope!

    Kessler scared the **** out of Mundine until he weighed 160. You know the rest. :D

    Danny seems like a great kid. I know I'll be rooting for him.
