    6 heavyweight prospects/fringe contenders with decent records, in some kind of organised tournament to generate some impetus in the division and create 1 or 2 new stars or title contenders.

    Which fighters would you nominate?

    I'd personally like to see 6-10 fringe contenders get it on to see which 3-4 are legit top 20 HWs and which need to go back to the drawing board.

    Banks
    Mitchell
    Johnson
    Welliver
    Rodriguez
    Wach
    Boystov
    Fury
    Wilder
    Witherspoon
    Hanks
    Price
    1st Rd
    Fury
    Welliver - Welliver outworks the big man winning a 7-3 UD

    Banks
    Rodriguez- el Nino, down on the cards, catches Banks with a L hook KO 7

    Johnson
    Mitchell- Mitchell all over Johnson by the 5th KO5

    Boystov
    Wach- Wach can't catch Boystov, but his agressive style wins barely SD

    Wilder- Too big, too strong, too fast...down on points, KO 8
    Hanks

    Price
    Witherspoon- Chazz upping the tempo outhustles Price to a UD

    Fury
    Helenius
    Price
    Wach
    Perez
    Povetkin

    I chose unbeaten prospects. I know Povetkin isn't a prospect but I couldn't think of any other unbeaten prospects i'd like to include in a tournament like this.
    Fury and Helenius meet in the final. If Fury improves his defense then I take Fury on points, if not then i choose Helenius by K'O.

    I go;
    Povetkin
    Fury
    Wach
    Boytsov
    Seth Mitchell
    Amir Mansour

    As much as i hate to say it there would have to be an American or two to get any decent money into the compotition. Super six anyone?

    1st round - 64
    2nd Round - 32
    3d Round -16
    Q-final - 8
    Semi-Final - 4
    Final - 2
