Pick a weight div for a wbss

[Ossyrules]

And list the 8 participants for the weight. If you can add a slice of realism if you think they’d enter

There’s a good thread in the Brit forum where kid Galahad has named a strong featherweight line up

[fightfan95]

Featherweight would be a good division

1-4 seeds:
LSC
Frampton
Mares
Russell Jnr

5-8 seeds:
Warrington
Donaire
Quigg
Valdez

I think selby would be game to put in the mix too

[ewenhay]

Featherweight as already stated or welterweight would have the depth to both have a really good competition.

[gilgamesh]

Heavyweight

Just to see the top guys fighting each other

And either 115 or 130 would be marvelous. Though if the WBSS uses more traditional weight classes instead that'd be alright with me. The money at stake would get guys to move up or down a weight class for these Tourneys it would seem. So maybe they could have a Lightweight Tournament that sees all the top names at 130 move up.

[candyslim]

super welter

Erislandy Lara
Jermell Charlo
Jarrett Hurd
Demetrius Andrade

Liam Smith
Maciej Sulecki
Julian Williams
Kanat Islam

HW (not possible though)

Anthony Joshua
Deontay Wilder
Joseph Parker
Tyson Fury

Alexander Povetkin
Luis Ortiz
Kubrat Pulev
Jarrell Miller

I was going to say welter but that heavy line-up would be fantastic if it were possible and that light-middle line-up is none too shabby either.

[Jip]

147

Thurman
Spence
Crawford
Porter
Danny
Mikey
Pacquiao
Brook

[TheGingerBomber]

Light Heavyweight for me.

Ideally you'd have;
1. Kovalev
2. Stevenson
3. Jack
4. Bivol

Getting to choose from;
1. Beterbiev
2. Gvodzyk
3. Barrera
4. Alvarez

[KiwiRider]

Super Flyweight

Champions
Srisaket Sor Rungvisai
Naoya Inoue
Khalid Yafai
Jerwin Ancajas/Jamie Conlan

Contenders
Juan Francisco Estrada
Rex Tso

First Round
Rungvisai vs. Estrada (Sells in Vegas or anywhere in the US with big mexican community)
Yafai vs. Gonzalez (Sells in the UK)
Inoue vs. Tso (Sells in East Asia - Hong Kong, Macao, Japan)
Ancajas/Conlan vs. Sultan (Sells in Phillipines/East Asia or UK if Conlan beat Ancajas)

Oh yes! That would be a treat. Probably the best chance of getting all those names to compete. Charlos and Stevenson ain't gonna go for this series.

I know rungvisai is a madman but his handlers couldn't let him pick Estrada in the first Rd.

If you followed the way WBSS did the Gassiev Wlod match (and tried for the Callum Smith Dirrell), you'd have Rungvisai Estrada in the first round as they're mandated & fighting next anyway

Those fights are different, all sanctioning bodies waved mandatories for the tourney's. This is a finals caliber fight, it would look stupid if the #1 picks the #3 for the first round. They'll have fought before the next round anyway.

[ElJefe]

Realistically I think Heavyweight and Welterweight are unlikely. Simply because those guys can make a hell of a lot of money without giving up any control of who/when they fight.

175 and 154 would be really good. Not sure Haymon will give up any control of his fighters though. If he doesn't that rules out most of 154 and Stevenson, Jack, Alvarez etc. from 175.

[jamamb]

for me it has to be super fly

[SaadOffTheDeck]

for me it has to be super fly

Isn't it kind of happening anyway?

Yeah I don't think Super Fly is needed as they always deliver the big fights, that division never ducks eachother (touch wood)
