Should there be a tournament for the Jr. Welterweight division?

Ortiz, Maidana, Alexander, Bradley, Khan, malignaggi & Lamont Peterson are just some big names that can make a good tournament. What do you think?

    A tournament would be good but as long as they face each other on their own accord, then we don't really need a tournament:

    ~ Victor Ortiz is next taking on the former lightweight champion Nate Campbell and if Ortiz wins that fight, then he's right back in the mix to get huge fights against the junior welterweight division's elite. And if Campbell wins, then he's right in the mix as well even though he's getting up there in age, maybe he could get a rematch against Timothy Bradley since their fight ended in a No Contest.

    ~ Marcos Maidana was scheduled to face Timothy Bradley in July but the fight got canceled due to Maidana injuring his back- it's a shame because that fight was very intriguing and had all the ingredients to be a great clash of styles and a great fight. However, Maidana is still the mandatory for Amir Khan, so the winner of the upcoming bout between Khan and Paul Malignaggi will be mandated to face him.

    ~ Devon Alexander has a fight scheduled for August against an opponent to be announced.

    ~ Timothy Bradley, as previously stated had a fight scheduled against Marcos Maidana but it was canceled due to a Maidana injury and his most recent fight was a dominant unanimous decision victory against the previously unbeaten Lamont Peterson. Bradley will still fight on that date against an opponent to be named.

    ~ Amir Khan is scheduled to defend his title against the slick and quick former champion, Paul Malignaggi next weekend.

    ~ Paul Malignaggi as previously stated is scheduled to challenge Amir Khan for his title next weekend.

    ~ Lamont Peterson fought about a month ago and won by TKO against a fringe contender after his lopsided loss to Timothy Bradley. Peterson should be back in the mix for a big fight pretty soon though because he's still a top fighter at 140 despite the loss to Bradley.

    It would definitely be competitive, don't know how attractive it would be to the general public. Talk about lack of star power! None of these dudes have any personality to speak of; except Malignaggi, but who enjoys watching a counter puncher with lack of stopping power?
