    In a mythical consolation heavyweight tournament, which four fighters in a round robin tournament do you think would get to the second round? Any ties for 4th place after the round robin are resolved by a one match playoff.

    Referee - Arthur Mercante
    Rounds- 12 rounds
    Judges - Lederman, Roth, Weisfeld
    No three knockdown, cannot be saved by the bell.

    This is a really fun poll.

    I picked Ali, Frazier, Walcott, and V. Klitschko, but not a no brainer by any stretch

    Seeing as there are 10 match-ups, wouldn't 5 men make it out of the first round?

    This is covered in the post. A one match playoff would ensue.

    But perhaps the Super Series rules would be easier to implement where there is an extra judge and if there is still a tie then the last round won is the tie breaker.
