Earlier today... ? Right, so Teeto is doing the lightweights, I've taken the welterweights. Anyone want to pick a weight class? I'd stick to just the traditional eight for now, but whatever everyone prefers. Older posters will remember the last ones were quite good.
I second that we just stick to the original eight for now. We can always sort out the others at a later date, they won't take as long to do either of course.
I'm probably too lazy to run it, but if someone has the time and want to do it, I would love to see a bantamweight tournament. I don't recall it ever being done here. Some fighters I'd suggest for the tournament: 1. Eder Jofre 2. Terry McGovern 3. Carlos Zarate 4. Ruben Olivares 5. Fighting Harada 6. Manuel Ortiz 7. Erik Morales 8. Jeff Fenech 9. Owen Moran 10.Panama Al Brown 11. Rafael Herrera 12. Chucho Castillo 13. Lupe Pintor 14. Lionel Rose 15. Jose Becerra 16. Jose Medel 17. Miguel Lora 18. Orlando Canizales 19. Raul Macias 20. Junior Jones 21. Jeff Chandler 22. Vic Toweel 23. Khaosai Galaxy 24. Marco Antonio Barrera 25. Alfonso Zamora 26. Eijiro Murata 27. Veeraphol Sahaprom 28. Daorung Chuvatana 29. Abe Goldstein 30. Pete Herman 31. Rafael Marquez 32. Jimmy Carruthers Since it's a head-2-head thing, you might want to put in a Johnny Tapia, Raul Perez, Paulie Ayala or a Nana Konadu instead of fighters that don't have any film like Goldstein or Herman. It might only get a handful of guys giving opinions though which can get pretty boring after a while, a reason I pulled the pin on the 140 tournament....
heres my 32 1. Hagler 2. Monzon 3. Robinson 4. Greb 5. Walker 6. Tiger 7. Giardello 8. Griffith 9. Flowers 10. Basilio 11. Fullmer 12. Fitzsimmons 13. Jones Jr 14. Ketchel 15. Papke 16. Griffith 17. Benvenuti 18. Valdez 19. Briscoe 20. Hopkins 21. Dempsey 22. Darcy 23. Zale 24. Steele 25. LaMotta 26. Olsen 27. Graziano 28. Archer 29. McCallum 30. Burley 31. Cerdan 32.
