So first off. I like the idea of the Crossweight Season, but I wonder. Are we going to have 2 Million Dollar Tournaments, and 2 Super Six's and all that?

IF I'm correct, I think after 20 weeks the seasons will combine. Thus any tourney after week 20 would have both weight classes combined. Anything before hand, I guess maybe a Prizefighter, will be two separate tourneys.

Would it take place on a pound for pound basis when "mixing" the weights? Or do we plan to throw the lighter weight participants into the blades of the Helicopter?


Uh...sorry bout that Reviler.....perhaps you hadn't been informed of your demise.

I'm going to go with the P4P basis. Seems too big a weight difference between the two divisions. Calzaghe is great at 168, but I would imagine he'd struggle with your average cruiser walking around at 200.

We are hoping to start the draft on Weds, but that might vary according to the amount of participants we have signed up.

Also...is that seriously the only fighters that are in the Database in these weight classes? Not very many fighters represented in either weight class. Many more guys that could be on the list I'd think.

I'm not bitching but....does seem less exciting with so few fighters and them all from one era.

For me there's just not enough guys to fight. Every one of the fighters on the list are at the very least good. So there's no names to build your guys up against or nothing or fight in tune ups after a loss.

I'm not 100% sure to be honest in regards to the fighter database. I don't have the software. I'm sure some more guys will be added to the mix. With each manager taking one boxer per weight class, I'd think there would be enough to go around, no?

Oh there's enough to pick from definitely, but there's not really enough guys to fight against on the CPU side of varying levels of skill. Almost everybody is good at the very least.

Questions... All shall be answered:

No. There will be a single MDT and a single Super Six. And to add a bit of clarity here, to quote myself from another thread;

Crease wrote:The structure of the season will change slightly, in that the two weight classes will stay apart for the first half of the season - and both weight classes will have 2 World Titles & a minor belt committed exclusively to them - but the "Berlin Wall" (as we are choosing to call it) will be smashed in Week 21, and it becomes a free-for-all. Following that, everything opens up...

And from that, it is clear that both the MDT & The SS will take place after Week 21.

Yes, it will be done on a P4P basis, it's the only way that if fair. On a World Title basis, the top 10 Cruisers will fight be eligible for two World Titles and vice versa.

Those two lists were drawn up by me. I have included every World Champion from both weight divisions. If you want to include any specific fighters, private mail Mr Fist or Mr Armageto and they will check the availability of them for you. If the fighter is on the database, they will discreetly be moved on to the appropriate fighter list.

I'm afraid that's the nature of this season. The Cruiserweight division and the Super Middleweight division are among the youngest divisions' in our sport. Cruiser has had it's first World Champion in 1980 & Super Middle had it's first World Champion in 1984.

Frankly, there's nothing we can really do about that. And it's part of the reason we are combining these weight classes, so that they can carry the weight of going a full season. It should still be an exciting season because we 've never really did either before properly.

I'll ask Mr Fist to throw in 4/5 tomato cans for each division.

hey, I think it makes for some good competition to have a closely talented pool and even though fighters may be ranked the same, there are many other factors which determine the outcome of matches
