I heard about this ages ago. Basically the plan was that when Vitali retires they would have a world cup type eliminator between all the young prospects to see who gets his title.

I think it's basically also a plan for the far future. Since they're afraid there will be no dominant champ they need some way to keep people interested. Frankly I think it would be a great idea should no dominant name emerge.

Read a few weeks ago in a Mex paper Solis was participating, also undefeated lightweight Daniel Estrada.

@ least will give a few divisions fighters some work and pay days, hope it works for the boxers...

No it involves 4 weight divisions, so your Vitali reasoning is garbage.
