Dates set for first round of Super Middleweight Tourney

[boozeboxer]

Wouldn't it be awesome if HBO had to try to one-up Showtime with a list for a tournament with some of these names (but would have to include Winky):

Roy Jones
Winky Wright
Bernard Hopkins
Kelly Pavlik
Lucian Bute
Andrade
Paul Williams
Mundine
Miranda
Sturm
John Duddy
Hell I want Kassim Ouma in the tournament against Duddy.

To be honest I'd much rather see the Showtime tourney than any of that lot. That looks like the reserves.

I think one super tournament is enough for now, I don't want to be overloaded. This will be plenty interesting for now, and I hope that maybe in another few months, once this one is underway they consider getting another one going.

HBO still has a great mini tournament of its own remember

Floyd vs Marquez
Pacquiao vs Cotto

Winners meet in the final to fight for it all.

No fight out there eclipses a potential Pacquaio Mayweather showdown.

Let's hope it works and is a massive success. They should do the same with all the prospects out there and put them on Boxing After Dark-type shows. The more I think about this tournament the more amazed I am about it, not least that it wasn't pulic knowledge till a couple of weeks ago. If it even lasts until the end of the first round before it falls apart it'll be great.

It is great, really just what boxing could use right now. I just hope we're not all being set up for a disappointment if this whole thing somehow implodes.


They should do this with the Heavyweights just for comic relief.

It wouldn't be saying much really. But seriously; it would be fun to see if Haye would join and put Peter, Chambers, Arreola in there. At last make them stay in shape. Maybe they could get Haye to do it and actually fight for once; somehow I doubt it though.

[Bukom Battler]

If you do a H'weight one it would not have all the best boxers in as the Klitschko's would not fight each other.
