Middleweight Tournament Proposal

**** thread, unfeasible idea, ain't seen the P4P list of 'Tofu' but from what Wallet is saying it's shite as well.

Do one.

Just get Lemiuex to destroy everyone apart from Pirog, Martinez, Golovkin, NJikam and Sturm and you've got a 160lb Super Six worth thinking about.

 

:rofl

 

Why would a promoter choose to put there fighter into the tournement??? If the lose they have nowhere to go. Thats the beauty of the super six it offered 3 guarenteed $1million pay days.

This format requires them to box 4 times so its not dramatically different in terms of timeframe either.

 

Up there with one of the best post I've ever seen on this site......

 

Grzegorz "Super G" Proksa should be there also IMO.

 

When is he going to fight someone good?

 

When he will get an EBU title shot I think. Would be nice to see him against the winner of Barker/Spada. Proksa is 3th on contender list for this title and his manager is trying to give him this fight. 1st is Spada (fights for EBU), 2nd Oral but he lost last two fights so he should go down IMO, 4th is Lee - he can go up if he defeats McEwan but does he really want to fight for EBU? He wants rather world title I think.

 

I think Lee is looking beyond the EBU belt at this stage and has made it known he wants a Vera rematch if the title shot doesn't come through after McEwan (if he wins of course). Thing is, I don't think he's eligible for it because x amount of your last fights must have been in Europe. Lee's fight with McEwan will be his fourth fight on the trot outside of Europe. I may be wrong, hopefully someone can clear it up.

Prozka would be a good fight for Barker after Spada, could be a very interesting fight. He needs to get moving because his career hasn't been developing at all up to this point.

 

Lemiuex could probably run the gauntlet of Lee, Barker, Macklin, Rubio and Koji Sato in one night.

 

Yes, Lemieux is Godlike. Unquestionably an ATG who will beat everyone he faces in one round.

He'll meet his match when he fights a top fighter who fights tall and can move well.

 

I do think Lemieux has the tools to become number 1 at 160.

His ability is slightly overlooked by his power.

:good

 

He's overrated because of is power. Boxing isn't all about knocking people out.

 

Right. I think that Jermain Taylor in his prime could outbox him. Style make fight. Also Pirog IMO would give him hell. Still I agree that Canadian coud defeat Lee, Barker, Macklin... in one night. The fight I'd really like to see is Lemieux-Golovkin. I am not so sure GG would win that (even with his great boxing skills). I'd pick Lemieux based on his aggresive style but has he got stamina for 12 runds? If he has Gevor's stamina then he beats Golovkin IMO. Too bad AA went to SMW AA vs Lemieux would be a war :bbb.
