I was not too excited by 11 to 25, but now you are really cooking. If boxing had tournaments where the best had to fight the best each year to determine the king of the mountain in each weight division we would have some surprising results and the title would change almost every year (ala K1 of yesteryear).

Likewise, right now, we don't know what would happen if Andy Cruz was allowed to fight every major star at lightweight or Pero and Itauma were given the green light to fight all haevies without politics, purses or rankings interference. I would bet there would be some very surprising and shocking results.

You are right, if boxing organized a K1-style tournament, many young fighters would certainly create a big surprise. In your opinion, which weight class is most likely to create a shock if such a tournament were held — lightweight with Andy Cruz or heavyweight with new names like Itauma, Pero?
