    I really hope this happens, especially with the names mentioned.

    I would definitely watch that!

    If I were to rank these guys:

    1. BJ Flores - Well-schooled, undefeated boxer-puncher who has entered his prime. IBF, WBA, and WBO top 10 contender.
    2. O'neil Bell - Former undisputed champ, 2 fights removed from title. Loss to Adamek has many questioning if he's past it.
    3. Vadim Tokarev - Hell of a fighter, iron chin and iron will.
    4. Matt Godrey - Solid young fighter who learned a lot in falling short in his title eliminator for the WBC belt.
    5. Johnathon Banks - undefeated IBO champ, has notched some solid performances but looked confused against his first southpaw opponent.
    6. Darnell Wilson - ESB's own, lost IBF eliminator to Flores (and then later, an unwarranted title shot in Germany). Has a big KO over Nwodo on his recent resume.
    7. Aaron Williams - Red hot prospect who is coming off his first career loss.
    8. Emmanuel Nwodo - Monstrous puncher who ran into another monstrous puncher in the Ding-a-ling man.
    9. Mike Alexander - Exciting 12-2 Heavy who has cut down to Cruiserweight.
    10. Shawn Hawk- Unbeaten but untested, 24 year old Cruiser, I know nothing about this guy.
    11. Ola Afolabi - Decent boxer, claim to fame is early career loss to Alan green.
    12. Ehinomen Ehikhamenor - decent prospect, but lost embarassing decision to Herbie Hide recently.

    they should include Hide in there, he'd clean up that bunch.

    Contender is getting serious man.

    You have to say that the latest contender had guys who could legitimately be title challengers (Sakio already was)

    This contender has guys who can legitimately become champions.

    They'll need subtitles if they use Enzo.

    Well, Mora won it and he's an unbeaten world champion right now.

    So yeah, it's had some pretty good fighters competing for that prizemoney.

    There are at least 5 guys on there that would KO Herbie, never mind beat him.

    Is good ol Herbie really that bad, I've seen some recent clips and he looked good (and not shot) albeit against limtied comp. He's calling out haye and enzo by the way. If BJ and Bell are among the best of the group, that's not too impressive imo from what i've seen.

    Anyone but Flores.

    Don't see Banks doing it as he is milking Wlad.
