And then watch him pull out because he "isn't getting paid enough... "

I'd like to see the loser of Cotto vs. Canelo in this 154 tournament.

Wished we had more tournaments. Boxing is just bunch of politics. Which it was like the ufc. Best have to fight the best.

Wow, the WBC bumped Andrade up to #3? If it's a 4-man tourney I'm not too thrilled. Charlo & Andrade already coasted by Matirosyn in boring fights. And John Jackson is over his head. J-Rock & Trout need to be in this over those two.

1 .- Jermell Charlo (US)
2 .- John Jackson (****** Islands)
3 .- Demetrius Andrade (US)
4 .- Vanes Martirosyan (Armenia)
5 .- Austin Trout (US)
6 .- Anthony Mundine (Australia) SILVER
7 .- Julian Williams (US) AMERICA
8 .- Sergey Rabchenko (Belarussia)
9 .- Jorge Cota (Mexico)
10 .- Ishe Smith (US)
11 .- Joshua Clottey (Ghana)
12 .- Cedric Vitu (France) EBU
13 .- Willie Nelson (US)
14 .- Matthew Macklin (GB) INTL
15 .- Charles Hatley (US)

Jackson/Vanes, JRock/Trout, Andrade/Lara are the match-ups I want. However, it seems logical for Jackson's next bout to be Cota because they fought on the same card. Maybe Vanes/Trout, a match-up that still hasn't been made.
