    12 rounds of boxing. Single elimination (or double if u want). Standard tournament bracket.

    Ron Lyle of the shavers fight vs Lamon Brewster of the 1st Wladmir fight. Winner of that fights:

    Razor Ruddock (james smith fight) vs Buddy Baer (1st Louis fight)

    David Tua (Ruiz fight) vs Alexander Povetkin (David Price fight). Winner faces:

    Max Baer (carnera fight) vs Ray Mercer (morrison fight)

    The winners of each bracket eventually meet up for a winners final (assuming no one has to be treated for concussions).

    Lyle KO Brewster
    Ruddock KO B Baer
    Tua stops Povetkin
    Mercer UD M. Baer

    Ruddock vs Lyle could go either way but I'll pick Ruddock to stop a tiring Lyle late.

    Mercer wins a decision of the split or majority kind over Tua.

    Ruddock vs Mercer.... I can't decide

    Wow, everyone seems to be divided. Guess ill give my picks:

    Ron Lyle hits the deck twice, but rallies late and brings the pain, dropping Brewster who was way too easy to hit and doesnt have the jab to keep Lyle away. Lyle by TKO round 8.

    Razor Ruddock and baer trade in an ugly slugfest before ruddock lands a brutal smash and wins by ko round 3.

    David Tua gets outboxed for 6 rounds but does good body work and causes major swelling with the few hooks he manages to land. Povetkin gets stopped after running out of gas while bein ahead on the cards in round 9. Povetkin is the more well rounded fighter but he didnt have a good gas tank.

    Max Baer wins a SD over Mercer but both men hit the deck.

    Round 2

    Lyle gets frustrated by ruddocks sharp jab and wild swings and gets dropped early. Lyle rallies against the one dimensional ruddock and drops him twice in the 6th with brutal overhand rights over ruddocks left.

    Tua is outboxed by Baer who uses his height and reach to bully him. He had experience against the similarly sized schmeling (who was far more skilled) and galento. Galento floors baer late who is clowning and showboating so baer gets mad and floors him in response. Baer UD.

    Round 3

    Lyle and Baer have the slugfest of the century. Both men covered in welts and bruises. Both men hit the canvas. Lyle does just enough to win the decision due to his workrate.
