Who'll Be The 6th Boxer In The HBO 140lb Tournament?

[BoxCleva]

The (as yet mythical) tournament at 140lb, Junior Welterweight division, is something most people who follow the sport would love to see. Following a similar format to The Showtime Super 6, lets assume the current boxrec top 5 JWW's are included:

1.Timothy Bradley
2.Amir Khan
3.Devon Alexander
4.Marcos Rene Maidana
5.Victor Ortiz
6. ? TBA ?

Which boxer do you believe would make the ideal addition to complete the tournament line up?

Some might consider Ortiz a questionable addition to the tournament so, if that's your view, feel free to mention an alternative 5th boxer too. Roach has stated that Pacquiao is staying at 147, so he can't really be considered for this unfortunately (and of course it wouldn't work out because Roach trains Khan too.)

Just some examples in the poll, but there are plenty of other possibilities too. Berto made the statement suggesting that he would consider moving down to 140lb for a tournament, and Katsidis may well consider moving up as he's fought at 140 and above before.

Update May 19

From the poll the 3 main contenders right now:

Michael Katsidis // Lamont Peterson // Andre Berto

suggestions via reply for :

Juan Manuel Marquez // Zab Judah // Ricky Hatton // Juan Urango // Floyd Mayweather Sr. (!) // Juan Guzman // Jose Miguel Cotto // Ricardo Torres // Manny Pacquiao // Edwin Valero (!) // Ali Funeka // Lucas Martin Matthysse

[wazaa.]

Peterson or Katsidis. Theres no way that Berto can make the 140 weight.

Half of those fighters you listed are ducking eachother already. A super 6 wont happen.

Id go with michael Katsidis he has the power to stop anyone in that list and he is an he is a very exciting fighter!!!

Id tip Devon to Win it though!!!

[J.R]

Berto has said he could come down so throw him in there, get Ortiz out and put in Katsidis. Khan would **** himself.

[Cubanborn87]

is only a tournament if they face eacho other and so far they arent doing that

with that being said katsidis would be the right choice

[donniebrasco]

way to go out for JMM!?

[Sweet Jesus]

Zab Judah...

[-PANDA-]

Zab Judah...

indeed he could really stur things up

[Junito-Rulez]

Juan Manuel Marquez would be interesting, i don't have no interest in seeing him crippling Juan Diaz.
