Also rank the sides from best to last, and what do you think is the best first round matchup?

[gatorDelux]

sounds like a good tournament but were are monzon and hagler?

[SCtrojansbaby]

IMO I would rank the sides
1.D
2.B
3.A
4.C

and the best first round matchup is Martinez vs Watson



My prediction

So I have Eubank beating Valdez and Kalambay(who beat Taylor) to some out of Side A

I have Leonard beating Griffith and Benn(who beat Jackson) to come out of Side B

I have Winky pulling off close decisions against McClellan and Collins(who beat Hamsho)

I have Martinez KOing Watson after an absolute war. Then beating Nino(who beat Nunn)

Super close fight but I just think the difference would Eubank would take Leonard punches better than Leonard could take Eubanks. Eubank wins by late KO or decision

I think Winky lucked out by getting the only good matchup possible for him as I would have Winky losing to Nunn, Nino or Watson. I think Winky slightly out boxes Martinez by staying disciplined and cutting off the ring making it an inside fight and very close decision. Winky makes it to the final.

I think Eubank does what he did to Leonard and uses his size advantage and athleticism to out box Winky and win the tournament

hahaha ****** fool

?????????????????

You left Greb out. I'll have no part of this thread.

[Alx.]

greb would clearly murder all of em

[Barn]

SCTrojancondoms would bet on a modern strawweight white collar boxer to beat Greb.

You can't fault his persistence or consistency .

[coghaugen]

Eubank-Kalambay = Eubank would out-jab him

Leonard-Benn = Leonard would stop him with back foot flurries

Collins-McClellan = McClellan would stop him on body shots

Watson-Nunn = Nunn would peck him and run

Eubank-Leonard = Eubank powers him out of there

McClellan-Nunn = Nunn would peck him and run

Eubank-Nunn = Nunn would peck him and run


Nunn
