the 8 man 154lbs Tourny proposed by Oscar would be excellent!

    Probably a good reason they have Angulo, Kirkland, AND Lara in their stable. Can steer them clear if needed.

    I'd rather see Andrade then Martirosyan and Vanes likely declines anyways as he has with every somehwat challenge thrown his way. It'd be interesting to throw an undefeated amateur star and olympian in the mix like they did in the super 6. No one predicted Ward would win tthat **** and look what happened!

    Would be a great tournament. I hope Oscar pulls it off.

    In other words keep all the other fighters in the division busy while we milk the ginger kid

    I would say it's a little soon for Andrade, but I would have no problem with that. Either sink or swim!

    Yes, Demetrius Andrade can pull of an Andre Ward. He is by far the most gifted 154 prospect. Not sure about his mental makeup, but the kid has all the tools. I'd pick Kirkland to win, going out on a limb here.

    Sounds great but I am going to wait and see if this get's off the ground, I'm not gonna count on it yet. It seems like the JMW division is the toughest to sign fights lately so why would they all get on board all of a sudden?

    That sounds really good and I'd love for it to come off. I agree that the format of such a tournament should be a lot simpler than the Super 6 was. Put 3 fights on one card and the next week, show another 3. The third week can have 2 fights and a random undercard bout. A few months down the line, have 2 fights on one card and the next week, another 2 bouts. Then have the final with a solid undercard and it'd be a success. 8 fighters, 6 shows, 1 champion. Perfect.

    The line-up for this is really good too. Fingers crossed it can happen. I'm sure HBO or Showtime would back this.

    What about Andrade, Baysangurov, Maciel, Dzinziruk, Rosado, Konecny, or Mundine? Don't see what Matiroysn has done to deserve this and if Bundrage loses a fight prior to the tournament he likely won't be going.

    Round 1

    1/Canelo - Kirkland - WBC

    2/Cotto - Bundrage - IBF

    3/Lara - Baysangurov - WBO

    4/Angulo - Trout - WBA

    Semi Finals

    1/ V 4/ WBC / WBA

    2/ V 3/ IBF / WBO

    Finals

    WBC/IBF/WBA/WBO

    Honestly Molina is just a spoiler and wraps around people like a squid and 5 of Matiroysans last 6 have had no more than 3 wins in their last 6 fights (not to mention he ducked out of a final eliminator)

    I think this would be a good tourny to unify
