You misanalysed it Bilbo :-)

[q] You can't have a supersix tournament in the heavyweight divison. First off the two best fighters won't fight each other so that would automatically make it unworkable. [\q]

that's why I proposed that the winner of the tournament will be fighting Vitaly should it be someone different from Wladimir.

and quite frankly, it could be the case. I wanted 2 USA fighters, because without that, US audience won't be watching, and these 2 fighters have skills, that's all we wanna see nowadays...

[q] Secondly Tony Thompson has already been dominated by a Klitschko, Eddie Chambers came up short against Povetkin..[\q]

and ? Thomson wants his revenge, good, he's gifted and will be a threat for any other heavy in this tournament. can win over Haye, Povetkin, Solis and Chambers.

Chambers on his side will be a tough cookie for some of them, because what he displayed against A. Dimentrenko was just great. against Povetikin, he just "snapped" the guy imposed his speed over the russian and found the way with his right hand all the time during 3-4 rounds. let give him another chance, the guy if he's smart analysed it and I'm sure he can finish the fight with that speed agains the russian.

The tourney is pretty open in fact.

Wladimir is the favourite ? on paper ! : he struggled against Peter Sam (knocked down 2times) and Davaryl williamson ! he has been exposed pretty badly by Lamon Brewster, Sanders...the guy is vulnerable when put under pressure if the guy can bang....

put him against Haye / Solis, and he has a pretty descent chance to leave the ring on a stretcher.

Povetikin, former amateur champ, is good and gifted, I give him a chance, but not in finale...I'm sure Chambers could beat him as well Thompson.

Solis is a extremely talented heavyweight, his only problems is food & training. but motivated and at 250, he can beat them all, I'm sure he can KO wlad, this guy is technically very good.

Haye can win this kind of tourney, I'm sure he will lose a fight in the process, but this kind of fighter could KO wlad in 2 like Sanders did...even if Wlad really improved these last years...

Maybe in fact I would replace Chambers/Thompson by Samuel Peter...just to have a slug in there...

but this kind of show would entertain for sure
