    I agree that all weight classes should have a tournament, but not a Showtime Super Six. It simply doesn't work. When a figther drops at at a late stage, their replacement is at an unfair disadvantage - Take for example Allan Green. By inheriting Jermaine Taylor's loss, Green must win both of his fights in order to progress, and has little breathing space. It is unjust and ill-thought.

    Me too. I guess it's more fair if everybody gets as chance to fight everybody, but first of all it would take too long, also if one guy keeps losing his career and his health might get destroyed, and anyway, in an elimination tournament, the guys who lose and get dropped out of it can always choose to fight eachother later.

    Anyway like some ppl already said, the more tournaments like this the better. Ofcourse, you do need to have a division where the top fighters are not on a level beyond where they feel they have too participate, like a Mayweather or Pacquiao, but at the same time the fighters have to be recognizable enough to the public to make it economically interesting for all involved. That's not so easy, but to me, 140 would be an obvious choice. 126 would be interesting and seeminly to me not impossible to make, and actually, the long-dormant 154-pound division could make for a hell of a tournament right now, what with Williams, Martinez, Cotto, Margarito, Cintron, Dzindziruk, Angulo, Martirosyan all competing there.
