Like I said... Rrisk/reward. There are much safer and much more profitable routes to a title than 3 fights against fellow top contenders. It's madness. 4 equally matched world title contenders would have to be completely crazy to enter a tournament such as this. It would work with domestic level fighters looking for a way into the top bigtime, or veterans looking for a way back in. It would have worked well for someone like Rhodes for instance. And it works well at the other end of the spectrum, like with the super 6 where you have 4 current or former titleists and 2 unbeaten fighters all fighting for complete supremacy of a division. The line up proposed here is in a grey area where the fighters just have too much at stake currently, and the winner wouldn't even be considered the best fighter at his weight.
I don't disagree with you, but I don't see why people are saying it's pointless just because it doesn't establish "the man". If they all agree to it, what's the problem?
If you are talking about skill levels and abilities yes. If you are talking about popularity Ricky Hatton Hitman Hatton aka The Mancunian Mexican stands alone.
Skill levels can only be truly measured against quality opposition, on that point your boy stands alone.
Isn't bradley with gary shaw? If so shaw has a contract with showtime so bradley wouldn't have been asked for that reason.
The true defining fight has not yet happened but fights against the likes of Ali Nuumbembee, Kpadenue, Holgate and Pryce were very revealing. In fact the Holgate fight told me what I needed to know considering his stage of development at that time as a novice pro. They thought we mad for taking on Holgate. Anyway the moment of destiny is close at hand.
The problem is that the "moment of destiny" has, according to you, always been close at hand and yet I'm still to see Ajose step into the ring with anyone rated in the World's top 15-20... Time stands still for no man and Ajose is not going to get better or younger.
Well its hardly my fault or Ajose's that the WBC final eliminator in Romania against Ionut Dan Ion was cancelled 6 days before the contest is it. Contest to be rescheduled. the winner gets Devon Alexander as mandatory
