P4P Tournament

Here's one to get you thinking...

Take the original 8 weight classes, and pick the fighter you think is currently the best in each division.

Heavyweight
Light Heavyweight
Middleweight
Welterweight
Lightweight
Featherweight
Bantamweight
Flyweight

Then, pound for pound, match them against each other as follows :

1. Heavy vs Light
2. Light Heavy vs Feather
3. Middle vs Bantam
4. Welter vs Fly

Then match the winners as follows :

Winner 1 vs Winner 4
Winner 2 vs Winner 3

Then, finally, match up the two remaining fighters.

Who comes out on top?

Cool idea, Union.

Thanks mate, that means a lot.

Who's your winner?

Floyd Mayweather

If you're going to enter Union's tournament Jeff, at least take it seriously.

Wasn't me that was relegated last time round.

I'm not talking about the UCPL.

Just a quick question before I post. What old school weight class would super bantam fall under?

Gamboa beats Wladimir? Seen it all now!

Feather

It's a Gamboa scaled up to 6'6 remember Fists...

Cheers mate.

Heavy- Wlad Klitschko
Lightheavy- Hopkins
Middle- Martinez
Welter- Mayweather
Lightweight- J.M Marquez
Feather- Nishioka
Bantam- Donaire
Flyweight- Wonjongkam

Wlad K vs Marquez
Hopkins vs Nishioka
Martinez vs Donaire
Mayweather vs Wonjongkam

Marquez vs Mayweather
Hopkins vs Donaire

Mayweather vs Donaire

Predictably Mayweather wins. Now I await the abuse for placing Nishioka ahead of Gamboa!

Oh, missed the pound for pound part - I thought it was ridiculous even by your standards, Union!

Yeah have to disagree there SRR, Gamboa for me.

I look forward to the results of a reverse p4p tournament.

It seems that my reputation preceeds me in such a way that I am now unable to produce a serious article.

I'm a big fan of Gamboa but if your talking P4P then Nishioka gets it on longevity imo.

Featherweight- Gamboa

Then he would be slow.

Ok, scale Wlad down to 5'5.

It's all P4P subjective nonsense anyway.

It's impossible to do this surely?

Welcome to a Union Cane thread.

Do you understand P4P Alex?

About as well as he understands libraries it would appear.

Well, yes I completely understand it but having P4P head to heads like this makes no sense, are we meant to just imagine Floyd mayweather up as high as 6"6 and retaining all the speed or something? It makes no sense at all, does he have the same power as he does at welterweight? Whats altered? It's ridiculous if you ask me.

AlexHuckerby wrote:It's ridiculous if you ask me.

I didn't.

If you can't grasp the concept, don't have a go.

I just don't understand it, what are the variables that are going to change, because in essence you move Floyd up to Heavyweight, his entire skill set changes, he no longer has the same kind of speed what happens to his power is it the same or what?

You don't move him up to heavyweight or anywhere else, it is Floyd the boxer we are judging, removing any height / weight (dis)advantages and basing it purely on boxing ability.

I honestly don't get it so I think I'm gonna have to bow out Union...
