    This is a cracking list and could make for a great show, but it's an odd gambit basing it in Singapore. The heat, humidity and unfamiliarity could easily effect the fighters, although if we're lucky it's mean they can't wheel out each fighter's extended family all the damn time...

    This might be the first Contender I watch if this lineup is true.

    Early December, according to the ESPN article.

    That means they'll probably start the fights in November sometime.

    True to an extent, but that was a prime Hide.

    Herbie's been KO'ed since then by a journeyman and is far past his best days. IMO he'd lose to more than half this list, in his current condition.

    Brick--I forgot about the Fields win. Impressive no doubt from Afolabi, enough to move him up about 2-3 spots on my list.

    Thanks for the info on Shawn Hawk. :good

    :D :lol:

    Sorry I'm immature.

    If those fighters were involved it would be a fantastic series though.

    Certainly. There are a couple no-names on there who nobody would miss, and if a good fighter or two is taken off the list and replaced by another good fighter, it will be a great show regardless.

    Personally, I can't wait! :happy

    I'd like Alexeev to be involved. But if that line up was to be confirmed I'd be more than happy.

    Go Ding! :happy.

    Adding Alexeev would make this show that much better.

    Let's not get too greedy. :lol:

    I agree with your point, but my point about trainers was just imagine how many WTF moments we would get with Enzo training one team, and unlce roger training the other!!!!

    I still can't imagine they'd let a loose cannon like Bell in that house.

    Not a complete thought. :?

    Are you saying you pick him to clear out this tournament of contenders?
