Message: [QUOTE="SWC75, post: 5042837, member: 289"] Interesting article from ESPN: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.espn.com/boxing/story/_/id/39874150/how-16-fighter-boxing-tournament-play-junior-welterweight[/URL] For years I've advocated that boxing switch from hereditary alphabet soup half titles to yearly tournaments to determine each year's champion. I prefer the idea of 8 fighter fields in 10 divisions, (the 8 traditionals plus cruisers, who I would call 'Middle heavyweights' and the top division, which would be the 'Superheavyweights'. You'd have the quarterfinals in the spring, the semis in the summer and the finals in the fall. Nobody ducking anybody anymore. Fighters and their managers would have join in to get the big money because the tournament would be what people care about. Oh, and I think Stevenson would emerge as the winner int he above tournament. [/QUOTE]
