Does anyone see a Tournament being set up at 160-168?

I can sense the crowds clamouring for a Tournament... it's too juicy now.

Post Mayweather- which we know he won't participate due to his Showtime deal- we will need this.

Quillin; Martinez; Golovkin; Chavez; Andy Lee; and Sturm.

160-168 is super middle wrong division and no.

Also Mayweather is 147 or 154 why mention him?

And Martinez and Golovkin have exclusive HBO deals.

Clarify the floyd part lol.

No I don't think a tournament is possible anytime soon but I'd love to see it.

Unfortunately, as OneTime stated, promtional issues would get iin the way.

I'd love to see a mini tournamet at mw between quillin, ggg, chavez jr and rubio

A 168 tournament is more realistic imo.

It be fun to see but hard to do, promotional issues and injuries especially if its a round robin. I mean hell I feel like the super six lasted like two years and half the fighters in it in the second part of the first round weren't even the guys that it started out with...

They'd all have to be under one roof, and even then as seen with the Super Six people drop off and politics come in. Its not out of the question for cross promotion but Golovkin and Quillin dont need a tourney, they just need to fuckin fight already. I'd be shocked if Jr can even make 160ish to think of it.

It's a nice idea but these tournaments end up being shit because of dropouts etc...and Felix Sturm? Forget about it. That waste of space pisses his pants once he sets foot outside of germany or if he has to fight someone with a ko percentage above 50%. The dude went to court to try and avoid a mandatory defense of his crap title against Golovkin. Let me repeat that...a proffessional boxer went to court to deny the rightful contender a shot at his title. No respect for that man at all.

The best name on Sturm's resume is Oscar and any honest fan will tell you who won Golovkin on the other hand didn't face a world class 160 pounder till he turned 30.

I know that...but Golovkin was the mandatory for Sturm a few years ago and rather than fight, Sturm went to court to avoid it. You're a proffessional fighter...Man up...on the other hand...Golovkin is making some serious noise and I always know I'm going to get my moneys worth when I watch that guy.
