    What about British and Irish middleweights.

    Andy Lee
    Matthew Macklin
    Darren Barker
    Ryan Rhodes
    Craig McEwan
    Martin Murray

    I left out Duddy because he wouldn't be interested and is an unrealistic option.

    I know it is incredibly unlikely but it would be class.

    agree it would be class but what happens if Lee beats Macklin and Barker in his 1st 2 fights. Why would he waste his time with another 3 fights he would be at world level.


    alos rhodes is lmw.

    You're not wrong, there is a difference quality of fighters in there and the commitment for some would be too big/long.

    I just threw Rhodes in because there is no other middleweight who is close to their level.

    yeh i just think super 6 only works at world level.

    a 4 person KO tourney would work very well.

    We already have Macklin v Barker, if they sorted Lee v McEwan, winners and losers then face off. The winner of the tournament gets a shot at one of the champs. That is somewhat realistic.

    It should have been set up a year ago.

    Given that they've all fought a selection of recycled gatekeepers in ten rounders lately there isn't much reason why not.

    This is going to be another farce like the light middles ten years or so ago :deal

    I'd like to see Dallas in their ahead of Harrison . Harrison's European champion and should hopefully have fights at that level to look forward too. I like the look of Dallas he looks fit, mobile and a solid puncher. I think he'd give Fury a lot of problems if Fury was in the sort of shape he came into his last fight in and he's at the same sort of stage pro career wise as Price
