I am hyped for WBSS, especially cruiserweight.
I was trying to think what other divisions have enough underplayed talent to make such a tournament viable.
I assume if you tried to make such a tournament in WW or HW it would be either too expensive or there would be too many mediocre fighters.
As you say, ww and hw are filled with too many divas and too many mediocre fighters so eff them.
I think LW would work a treat as a tournament.
Imagine Linares (Ring, WBA), Flanagan (WBO), Garcia (WBC) and Easter Jr (IBF) as the seeded picks and then Crolla, Commey, Bogere and Verdejo as the guys that get to be picked as opponents. That would be levels above the 168 tournament and just as good as the CW one.
