    The likes of Ottke, Barkley & Dundee might as well be taken out since there's no conceivable chance for them to win. If additional fighters are needed, Sumbu Kalambay and Julian Jackson would fare better.

    Floyd Patterson would have been quite a headache at 168 pounds based on the way he looked against Don Grant.

    Jopkins is gunna go out to someone in the first round who I would bet my house on him schooling if the fight was happening in reality, I can see this **** a mile off. Burley will probably ko him in one round or some madness.

    I want to make formal complaint in advance, thanks

    I don't make the pics, the forum does. Convince people to your side of the opinion and they will vote for him!

    I'm not saying I want him to win, I'm not saying he can win. I don't want to convince anyone, I'm comfortable with my own assertations. If people think he's just going to hig everyone in this tournament because he doesn't have the skill to win any rounds if he doesn't then more power to them.

    I was only ****ing round with that post, just a minor vent, I'm done now.
