So who's gonna win the 10k. And what's your top 4 or 5?
Hard to pick because of the draw. But still fun

Michael todd got my vote. He's got too much endurance and no one can get around his move short of Devon doing it pre-surgery. Now if Dennis or Andriy came for the tournament that would shake up things quite a bit.... Too bad Sylvain Perron isn't on the list either. He could be a wild card

Colorado's Matt "Bam-Bam" Girdner never really fully retired in 2005. In his 2005 condition (when only Voevoda beat him), I'd put him at #1 against this brutal class. Though he hasn't competed since then, his training regimen continued... This will be a good test - for him and some others. He wouldn't go if he weren't confident. I put him surely in the top 5 of the list shown here. Maybe top 3. But I won't attempt to predict more than that!

I think brzenk will do it. He's smart at finding weaknesses and advancing in the bracket by any means necessary.

Depends on the draw but I'm going Mike Todd, then Jerry, Brzenk 3rd Girdner 4th then Lupkes. But hard to pick where Girdner lands because he hasn't competed in so long. I could see Brzenk beating Cadorette, especially if Cadorette gets into a war with Mike. Could see Lupkes beating Girdner but can't c him beating the top 3 guys. Girdner could be higher just hard to judge him without seeing him pull. This is all just my opinion!

Personally I really want to see TIM BRESNAN in this class.

Bresnan would run over a lot of peeps in that class... Jmo

Seeing Michael Todd vs Matt Girdner, and Tim Bresnan vs Jerry Caddorette first round would be diesel.

Now if Dennis or Andriy came for the tournament that would shake up things quite a bit.... Too bad Sylvain Perron isn't on the list either. He could be a wild card Make no mistake Denis wants NO part of this North American nightmare class. No lay downs and bi's. 25 deep with 250lb+ monsters ready to bang out. He'll stick to events he can puppet master to maintain his rep. |

He'll stick to events he can puppet master to maintain his rep. I was fortunate enough to watch the a1 tournament on the live stream. I really don't think anyone laid down to him. Him and Chaffee wore each other down big time and everyone knows the result of that now. It'd be interesting all over if him and Todd went at it first round. I still think todd would win cause his endurance but he'd be too wore out in the later rounds. It's all in the luck of the brackets for who takes it cause the class is stacked and I don't see any one person sailing through to the finals unless they got a horseshoe in their Ass. Wish I wasn't in the north otherwise I'd be there to watch it. I'm jealous of all that get to attend. |

That is great Ryan but with all due respect that's the way it is supposed to be. When Espey, Lupkes, Bresnan, Todd, Caddorette, Brzenk, Underwood, Bagent, on and on puts in work they earn it the hard way. Don't take my word for it Dude has priors.

I don't necessarily agree with all your saying Kyle but we're having a fantasy discussion here and they never go anywhere right? Until every single big name competitor shows up for a do all end all tournament then the Internet will keep seeing these discussions pop up. I'm sure Robert and Bill tried to entice the Europeans into coming over considering the amount of money they have in it along with the advertising aspect. Maybe someone has insight into that?
Back to the original topic though, I still think Todd is going to take the win. Someone please get video during the event! (if they're allowed of course).

How does that saying go? Oh yeah the proof is in the pudding. Devon alone has been calling dude out for going on three years. Yet they never seem to meet up. I see a lot of other dudes that ain't ducking nobody. The atmosphere has changed since David slayed Tsyplenkov.
