    Yeah, of course too good to be true. I'm a cynic. But it sure would be great for boxing if it actually happened. Showtime has big $$. You never know.

    I can't see it happening, who's gonna fund the millions that each fighter will want just for one fight let alone 4 fights each.

    actually guys they've been talking about this for awhile. Dabella was out here in Vegas talking about the tourney 2 weeks ago. This can really happen, and if it does it will be the best thing boxing has done since they did the tourney with Hopkins beating Trindad in the finals

    That's the vibe I got from the article, that this was more than just wishful thinking, that people had already been talking on a serious level to make it happen. It would be absolutely unbelievable if this came off. Kessler v Ward: f*&king A, sign me up!

    Damn, this would be amazing.

    huh? it wouldn't force **** on Pavlik. Pavlik is still a bigger money draw than any of thes guys. And guess what, who are the two guys we've recently heard him rumored to fight, Mora and Sturm, well guess what?, they aren't in the bull**** tourney. So although the tourney is bull****, so is your belief it would force KP into anything.

    Too good to be true.

    Won't happen, too much ****ing about with individual names for a tourny like that to come off.

    Bute has already chickened out of fighting Froch. I don't know if you've noticed but this guy is the ****ing Canadian Sven Ottke!
