We'd have to wait until this Saturday night to know to include for sure.

Obviously if Peterson (can't remember which one, just hope its not the pop pop pop one) beats Tim Bradley then he'd have to be in. You'd also have to have Bradley in as well to try and regain what he lost.

Then there are a bunch of guys I'd rather have in the tournament than Urango.

You want the tournament to be fun and sell well, Urango is just a former beltholder with no star appeal at all. It would be like having Berrio or Dennis Inkin in the super six at super middle, no thanks! I'd much rather they put Zab Judah in as a wild card, or an old fighter like Campbell for one last chance.

Presuming Bradley wins tomorrow my list would be,

Bradley
Khan
Alexander
Malignaggi (if he beats Diaz, Diaz would be shit at 140) if he loses bring in Zab
Ortiz
Maidana

Nobody can tell me that Victor Ortiz isn't ten times more exciting than Juan Urango and has more potential in the sport. This should be a showcase for the best and the brightest talent, Urango is ok but I wouldn't pay to watch him and he less potential than everyone above. Zab may be done, he may not, but I'd like to see him at 140 again and this would be interestin
i didn't say Ortiz cause IMO he's not ready, i really feel this kid can be something special, but they're going to have to take their time in bringing him up, if the tourney was in a couple years then yea i'd include him but as is right now, i don't think i'd put him there
