Think a tournement without the Klitschkos could get people interested and would be good experience for the talents for a future Klitschko fight . this 16 fighters: Haye, Boytsov, Arreola;Johnson,Chambers,Solis,Perez,Ortiz,Price,Pulev Fury,Povetkin,Helenius,Adamek,Chagaev,Gomez other candidates would be Thompson,Ustinov,Dimitrenko,Stiverne,Rodriguez Big Question most logical finalists ? My choice : Perez-Helenius
No way you could get all of those guys to agree to a sixteen-man tournament. Chambers and Arreola are the only two I could see agreeing.
Helenius would be a finalist but Mike Perez gets ass-raped by Arreola or anyone halfway decent. I think Perez is a joke.
But the tourney would be a way to generate interest in the division. HBO should do like they did in the Tyson era.
I think Showtime is head and shoulders above HBO but HBO should close the gap now that they got rid of the nit wit Ross Greenburg.
I made a similar post about a 12 man UNDEFEATED tourney. 12 enter undefeated, 1 finishes with and unblemished record. There are about 20 undefeated and decent HWs ranked inside the top 200 who would jump at this opportunity. Sadly the other 8-10 are ranked inside the top 40 and are saving their ass virginity for a Klitschko.
