    The over-35 division with a tournament to determine the champions.

    Riddick Bowe vs Lennox Lewis
    --winner to fight the winner of --
    Evander Holyfield vs Mike Tyson

    and the winner to then fight Vitali Klitchko


    Cruiserweights could feature comebacking champions Virgil Hill, Herbie Hide and Arthur Williams

    Lightheavyweights Roy Jones, Bernard Hopkins, Glenn Johnson, Antonio Tarver



    Also include in other divisions, Hector Camacho, Thomas Hearns, Vinny Paz,
    and so on.

    Whadya think? Nothing else in the U.S. (except Oscar De La Hoya) is working.

    Vinny Paz... wow, been a while since I've heard his name. I'd watch it though... Besides being crazy and wild he was fun to watch.

    Watching old, delpleted, brain damaged boxers awkwardly slog and stagger around? No thanks.

    Sounds good to me, like the Masters Division in the Olympia!

    And then you would have Bernard Hopkins and Joe Calzaghe unable to fight anyone under 35 yrs old? Or are some over 35yr olds aloud to fight in the other divisions?

    The only thing that can help boxing is to model the UFC and have one dominant organization control it....just like every other ****ing sport. There are countless reasons that I will not list also.

    Isn't Thomas Hearns very punch drunk? What do you want to see faded legends fight for and embarrass themselves? I know what you mean but if they can no longer compete at the world level then they should do themselves justice and retire really.
