No boxing on...So what weight class next for Contender?

[Hounddawg]

Since theres a lack of boxing talk and with boxing bouts drying up in the last week and half, i started to think why the super middle for the contender why not another division, although this is'nt possible for some of the divisionslike fly and superfly, there are some other divisions that could have made a case for the first Australian contender.

The contender poses a fantastic matchup for up n commers,prospects and journeymen to truly find out who's number 1 by process of elimination. The series in it's own right has produced world champions from it's American version.Out of the current bunch of supermiddles contesting to be the first OZ contender champ, there may well be a future world champ amongst them, but even if this isn't achieved the majority of fighters will be 10 times the fighter they were before entering.With good matchups and for some there first true test, we are going to know a lot more about the supermiddle division early next year than most would have thought they ever would have, so the concept of the Australian contender is a fantastic concept for australian boxing.

I'm interested to hear what other divisions some thought would have been a good idea when they first heard of the Australian version of the Contender and give us some lists.
