Good pick but getting these fighters to agree to a tournament would be difficult, especially Monsour and Potvetkin. Monsour is already 39, a young 39, but still 39...prison don't exactly take years off, and while inactive those 10 yrs, still probably scrapping in the joint. Definitely makes him a hungry fighter though, and likely will beat a few more stiffs before getting a K2 fight. His last fight, and biggest test was Dominic Guinn...and Guinn had his usual OFF night. When DG wanted to, seemed he could have put Monsour away, but relented. I don't expect AM to risk his shot at a K2, so I look for him to find a shaky chinned fighter in the top 50. Maybe 2, before getting a title shot. Potvetkin could get a Klitschko fight on a weeks notice. He holds ALL the cards of the current contenders since both K2, esp Wlad want that cherry badly.
Super Six Style Wilder Hanks Mitchell Fury Wach Chisora/Dimentrenko Never would happen, but it would be awesome if it did.
Elite 8 tournament USA vs Europe USA Bracket(perhaps NABO, USBA, NABF, etc. championship belts) 1. Wilder 2. Hanks 3. Mitchell 4. Tupou Europe Bracket(perhaps EBU, EBA, EBO, etc. Championship belts) 1. Fury 2. Wach 3. Chisora 4. Dimintrenko Champion vs Champion Winner becomes IBF, WBC, etc. International Champion and gets the next crack at one of the Klitschkos or Potvetkin.
If going by the belts: USA Bracket: 1. Harris USBA 2. Mansour WBO NABO 3. Banks NABF 4. Lawrence/Mitchell NABA: Boswell, but must becoming vacant since he is signed to fight Povetkin. Welliver has the WBC Continental Americas belt, dunno why. Thought you would have to at least live on that continent, to be able to win it? :huh European bracket: 1. Dimitrenko EBU 2. Ustinov EBA 3. Pala WBO European 4. Helenius What i would prefer: USA Bracket: 1. Mitchell 2. Lawrence 3. Banks 4. Mansour European bracket: 1. Helenius 2. Dimitrenko 3. Fury 4. Pulev/Boytsov/Wach
Yeah man... It would help the hw division SO MUCH if these prospects/contenders just would fight each other. Might creat pretty good fights too, entertainment, and createlegit challengers for title...
