Rhino - the idea is presently being investigated between 2 promoters (1 UK & 1 USA).

i suspect this thread is a thinly veiled attempt by Tyson Fury people to draw attention away from OCT 2 with very silly banter ? :roll:

Good fighters - Brock cannot fight again though. I'd probably swap him for someone like Oquendo.

I assume you mean South African Golfer Sanders? The other one wouldn't get sanctioned.

To counteract the problem of needing huge prize money to entice big names, how about getting one of the major sanctioning bodies involved and offering a guaranteed title shot to the winner?

I'm not saying it's fair that some over the hill 40 odd year old could get a World title fight on the back of a couple of 3 rounders, but it would be a way to attract genuine top 10/15 fighters.

Corey sanders is blind in one eye, but corrie sanders isnt. Corrie is the one that KO'd Wlad etc... and I think thats the one people are suggesting get in there. A few fast, hard Piston like punches from the big man would go down a treat. Think he's looking at going pro in golf at the moment though, so dunno if corrie would be interested.
