    Devon Alexander mentions that HBO is working on a 4-man JW tournament.

    Personally, I'd like to see a 6-man tourney with Alexander, Tim Bradley, Amir Khan, Victor Ortiz, Marcos Maidana, and the winner of Diaz/Paulie II (although I also wouldn't protest to Kendall Holt or Juan Urango) to showcase the younger generation.

    Anyways, thoughts?

    The only reason Paulie Maglinaggi isn't in this tournament is because of homophobia.

    Angulo is not junior welter. He is a lite middleweight.

    Yeah you're right I don't know what I was thinking. I got Kendall Holt and Kermit Cintron mixed up. I should stop drunk posting.

    No hatton? If they had hatton it would be the money maker in the group with a possibility of khan vs hatton

    He'll probably fight the winner if this thing makes headwaves.

    Having Hatton in there would be a great idea. I doubt he'd be down for it though. At this stage, I think he lacks the hunger to take part in such a thing.

    I am assuming that it will be an elimination tournament.
