Just seen Eddie Hearn Tweet about getting the lightweights together.

"The lightweight division is definitely the best in the UK right now..should we put a tournament together for the elite?" (@EddieHearn)

That would be amazing;

Rees
Crolla
Matthews
Coyle
Cardle
Woodhouse
Flannigan
Gethin
Walsh
Munroe
Harrison
Hughes

What do you think then winner faces Burns?

There are some cracking fighters on that list, there'd not be one boring fight.

what happened to that Scottish southpaw who won one of the early prize fighters?

Love the idea of a knockout tournament, but the winner getting a shot at Burns? I don't think Burns will have the belt in 18-24 months time.

Ryan Brawley? Lost a while back to Stuart Green and not been back since. I think work commitments aswell as injury has kept him out. Don't think hel be bk.

Enough names there for three or four not to fancy it, and it still be a cracking tourny.

that's the one.

Looks good to me.. Is Munroe at lightweight now? I don't think anybody on that list would not fancy it. Hope Eddie didn't just tweet this for the sake of it.. Lets see it backed up

The Murray Machine is back in training too I believe, not sure what his weight will be like after so long out of the ring tho

Hughes?

As long as he keeps fighting the same quality of opponents such as his next fight and keeps avoiding the broners/gamboas then I can not see why he wouldent be champ untill then

I do like Burns and he is a good champion, but if he comes up against an elite guy he will be in trouble and I think people will demand that from him in 2 years time and he will lose.

ricky burns will not fight an elite fighter, its about time he did tho

...and then by the time this tournament was over (18-24 months) Luke Campbell should be ready for these guys' level and in the mix!

So the futures bright,I'd have my doubts though Luke still being a LW in 24 months
