Showtime to do SMW tournament with Abraham/Kessler/Froch/Taylor/Ward/Dirrell?

[CFH]

Would be very nice; won't hold my breath on it happening though. Kessler will be 46 before he fights another big name.

A 46 year old Kessler would still beat Froch.

I don't hate Froch at all, I'm just still not sold on him. I was impressed that he beat Taylor, I picked him to lose (and maybe if Taylor had some stamina he would have), but a fighter like Kessler is a whole different ball of wax (is that even a saying - ball of wax?).

Froch is a decent, if sloppy, fighter with a solid (if not great) chin and above average power but I think fighters like Kessler, Bute, Andrade, and maybe even Abraham would take him to school in a big way. Ok, maybe Andrade wouldn't take him to school but I think he could out-brawl him.

And I'm afraid being from the west coast I don't have much of a Canadian accent, apparently I sound pretty much like anyone else from the west coast/pacific northwest. DeanRW on the other hand, I bet that fucker sounds like a Newfie .

Normally My english is quite neutral too though sometimes, we can hear a little background of french

Well here is more details. There are other networks that will be involved with it, thus making it more likely that they can pull this off.

And if everything gets finalized, the press conference is said to be on July 13th.

Well Dan Rafael is reporting on it now as well.

[blegit]

I have no belief this tournament will happen. I like the idea and the hype move but too many things have to go right. Even single fights have too many things that have to happen because of the business side of boxing. Then we get to think about the boxing side. This sparks up interest and good conversation but I can't see it at all happening. Though I like Showtimes desire, unlike HBO, to bring us what boxing needs.

This would be amazing. I sure as shit hope this happens.
