The Contender's probably going to be picked up by Versus

[Tito BHB]

I mean shite: NBC to ESPN to Versus. 130 and lower?? You want the Contender on public access fighting in middle school gyms dont ya?

At least the fights would be better!

& those guys deserve some attention!

To me its the fighters & fights that make the show, just look at season 2 a complete waste of time IMO

Little guys throw more, are better technically & I'm sure theres some good story lines out there for these struggling little big men!

Good points, and not that I disagree.

But realistically..the Contender would be 6-feet under the season after it decided to focus on the smaller guys

You could be right..

Or it could save it..

For one by getting some lighter but alot better prospects it could draw back in the real boxing fans instead of alienating them with a crude mix of styles and of prospects,bums and veterans where the veterans have nothing else following the contender..

And really the only public to have fallen out with the contender for the most part are the real boxing fans.. One the name alone etc they may well get a couple of watches.. like the first few episodes..
that might be all it takes.. Because if they get the right fighters on the show.. and the public give the little guys a chance.. they would actually be impressed i'd bet.. cos the little guys are far more entertaining.. and within theyr own weight classes hit just as hard as any other division.. if you can see what im getting at.. So maybe brighter prospects if they went with that then is currently assumed..
