    There's not really any Mayweather or Pacquiao in this thread. That was just to get your undivided attention. But since you're here:

    Who wins this 8 man elimination tournament to crown a Cruiserweight king?

    #1 Marco Huck vs. #8 Youri Kalenga
    #4 Grigory Drozd vs. #5 Ola Afolabi
    #2 Yoan Pablo Hernandez vs. #7 Thabiso Mchunu
    #3 Denis Lebedev vs. #6 Krzystof Wlodacrzyk

    Lots of ways this could go......who takes it. And don't fence it. :nono

    :good I have it the same but I think Hernandez v Mchunu is a could've-gone-either-way-win for Hernandez.

    You're right because they both seem chinny, but it would be harder for Hernandez to land on Thabiso than the other way around.

    I'd replace Ola/Wlod with Usyk/Kudryashov.

    YPH vs Mchunu would be an oddity.

    :nono These are the top 8 ranks.

    And it would also make the poll less interesting because everyone would automatically vote Usyk.

    -Huck
    -Afolabi
    -Hernandez
    -Lebedev

    -Huck
    -Hernandez

    Huck wins. Kalenga could have placed well if he wasn't paired with Huck right off the bat on this one IMO.

    I think there is a lot of styles-make-fights style talk you could have in this tourney.

    For example, I picked Lebedev as the winner, but I'm not sure I would favour him over first round victim Mchunu.

    Thanks for your contribution to this thread Berol Gee.

    You at least avoided hating on Calzaghe, for the first time in your posting career.

    So give yourself a pat on the back. :deal
