    Wouldn't that be a great idea? Losers of each fight are forced to retire, winner of the Tourney gets a final shot at the title.

    1. Evander Holyfield
    2. Andrew Golota
    3. Oliver McCall
    4. Shannon Briggs
    5. David Tua
    6. John Ruiz
    7. Frans Botha
    8. Tommy Morrison
    9. Riddick Bowe
    10. James Toney

    Sad thing is theres a strong possability that Ruiz and Holyfield would
    fight for the 4th time in the final.

    Tua has been to inactive, we dont know what he has left or what
    sort of shape he'd be in, I'd love to see Ruiz get sparked out by Tua again though.

    Yeah but what point is there?
    Vitali would beat everyone of them.

    If the rules are properly enforced, that cheater Ruiz is gone LONG before the final!:yep


    In a fair fight - no holding, no faking low blows - he beats Morrison, who's basically a tomato can at this point. The rest beat that glorified clubfighter pretty easily.

    Just think of the possible matchups................Tua vs. Ruiz II, Golota vs. Bowe III, Toney vs. Ruiz II, etc.

    I won't even pretend I'd hate it. At this point I'd probably watch it for the comedy alone...CharlesWhite would probably dig it as well. Just remove Riddick Bowe (seriously now, let's not egg the guy on) and Tommy Morrison (AIDS? No aids? Still). It would probably have no purpose but then again most HW fights these days don't have one.

    John Ruiz vs Oliver McCall
    David Tua vs Evander Holyfield
    Andrew Golota vs Shannon Briggs
    James Toney vs Frans Botha
