Anybody know anything about this?

I heard about 3 weeks to a month ago about this. Heard it was going to be a 4 man tournament similar to the Middleweight tournament that Hopkins won by beating Trinidad.

The names I heard lined up for it are...

Amir Khan
Marcos Maidana
Victor Ortiz
Devon Alexander

We had a thread about it. Alot seemed to complain that while this is a good idea, unlike the Super-Middle Tournament, it won't come close to deciding the divisions best fighter when Bradley, Malignaggi, Diaz, Lamont Peterson, Juan Urango etc aren't part of the tournament.

if they only have 4 participants then why not have all the 4 current champs so that we can have one undisputed unified champ at the end.

wbc - devon alexander
wba - winner of amir khan/marcos maidana
ibf - urango
wbo - winner of lamont peterson/timothy bradley

Yeah they need to have the winner of Bradley Peterson at the very least, unless they market it as the tournament to find the legit challenger to the winner of tonight's fight.

But a tournament with Bradley, Khan, Alexander, Malignaggi, Ortiz and Maidana is pretty sexy imo. Definitely one to get excited about.

You'd have to fancy the current holders Bradley, Khan and Alexander to be the favourites but the other three are all capable of scoring upsets.
