Lots of deluded heavyweights around, all calling for a shot at the Klitschko's, but not getting it. Some are more deserving than others, but the Klits continue to cherry pick if possible. They hold the lot, therefore control the division like politicians. Well ranked fighters aint getting the fights, and there is a handful of fighters who all think they are the greatest. Why not throw them all in a pot? Winner forcing the Klitschko's hands? I'm stunned that no promoter has created this yet? Some potentially cracking fights and great build ups are being missed out on. $$$ £££ making fights to!!! I stress this is NOT a Prizefighter! So as the other thread/poll/vote like this was deleted for no reason what so ever, here is the new one. Surely all boxing fans would want to see this? Particularly for the circus that is, the Heavyweight division. Who does not want to see Audley Harrison vs. Tyson Fury like fights? Audley is dangerous in any tournament set up, a 2 time Prizefighter champion. Undefeated. Could this be the route for someone like Audley? So simply put, would you want to see this put together? If not why not? This content is protected or This content is protected
You lose credibility talking about Harrison. Imagine if he won the tourney and ended up against Wlad! Ouch. Anyway. It would be nice to see something along the lines you talk about. However Haye would never be interested.
Many will argue a valid point that the division is not healthy enough to create said tournament. I would agree with that to some extent, but this division is clearly not the same as some of the others. The reason why I mentioned Harrison is because this could be a route someone like that could take to get a shot and be deserving of it. The Klitschko's cherry pick, clearly. By creating this tournament, the winner either gets a fight against one of them, and if they dont, then the Klitschko's show once and for all they are cherry pickers in a distinctly average division. There is to many fighters in that division thinking they are the best thing going, if I was a promoter I'd see this as discovering a cave full of gold. Its win-win and you're taking advantage of a fruitful situation. Get these wannabee champs fighting one another!!!
I agree in principal. However many would argue Haye is number 3 yet he wouldn't be involved in a tourney. It would boil down to a few very average contenders ducking it out for an opportunity to be blown away by Wlad. The reality is noone can even remotely compete with Wlad.
The reality is Mr. David Haye says a lot of things and does another. He maintained he was retiring. Then we saw toe gate. Then we saw the Chisora fight(s). Then he retired again. Jungle run. Said he would only come back to fight a Klitschko. Apparently the fight was on the table (was it?) says he wont fight anybody else except a Klitschko. Won't fight Fury (The Fury fight should be made) or Price.......and now says he is going to fight a couple of fights to force the Klitschko's hand? You either want to fight or you dont. David has not proved himself in this division. What? Beating a washed up Ruiz, beating Monte Barrett? Beating one of the worst heavyweight world champions in history in Valuev? Who an old Evander Holyfield arguably beat and laid the blueprint? If David wants to fight a Klitschko, he has to earn it. Beating the rest of the dvision in a super 6 style tourney, would put him above all and earn him another shot. :good David Haye of all the heavyweights, should be jumping at this chance. But we all know David Haye thinks he is Premier League, and deserves Premier League attention. When he clearly looked like Conference against Wlad.
Yes take out klitschkos,getting the Americans as hosts for the best coverage and venues Madison sq garden,Atlantic city,las Vegas Knockout tournament for WBA/WBC/ibf/wbo whatever belt Povetkin helenius Arreloa haye seeded Pulev adamek fury wilder unseeded Chisora price boystov Seth Mitchell subs Tournament is split into 4 nights 2 quarters 2 quarters 2 semis Final Every night supported by big undercards Tv rights sold round the world American interest It would smash it,even if quality wasn't brilliant Star could be born
Only if it was: Wlad Fury Pulev Chisora Haye and whoever finishes the year on top out of Banks/Wilder/Hanks/Scott/Arreolla etc (gotta have a yank in there. So no.
atschA second millenium version of the HBO Heavyweight Unification series of the mid-80's awww hell noooo!
It can only be good for the circus that is the Heavyweight division. There are so many clowns in that division, the best thing anybody could do is say right then, fight one another. On paper, the fighters look awful, and the division is to light to set something up. But if it was up and running and the fights were being made, its win win. They would sell fights like hotcakes, on the buildups alone. The fights may turn out to be awful, but we'd get a winner, and someone who deserves a Klitschko fight. The day they both retire, will be the day the heavyweight division is open again. Tyson Fury would be more than up for this tourney, he'd want to do it all in one night!
