I read this elsewhere :

Damn, that's sad. I hope Andrade, Canelo, and Charlo make their talked about moves asap. We could have some incredible fights instead of ^that depressing crap.

[Chrismart]

Those are the four highest ranked, not exactly the four to participate in the tournament.

The two last two tournaments the WBC ordered went nowhere at 147 and 154 so I doubt any tournament will come off.

Yeah i'd imagine the line up would change. I'm not sure Lem would take part.
Apparently Heiland's manager wasn't happy about not being given the fight outright.

As you said, the tournament thing will probably fall by the wayside.

A GGG trophy would probably carry more status and recognition than most of the trinket belts going around.

Ug, this guy is never going to build a legacy before he retires. If Canelo isn't going after it, I hope Golovkin gives Charlo a shot.

This tournament helps GGG. The WBC did it to delay his mandatory obligation until 2018 at the earliest. This is actually good for GGG. He's not stuck fighting Heiland next year. The only bad part is he could be fighting Lemieux or Stevens again

[PittyPat]

Ughhhh, why can't the winner of Huck–Briedis just be named a #1 contender? Why do they need a fake belt tacked on? Yea, yea, sanctioning fees and all that...

The difference between this tournament and the 147 and 154 tournament is that those fighters had options. What is Stevens doing? Heiland aint really doing nothing. Lemieux might get the Canelo fight if Canelo is healed enough to fight in Feb. But if this Chavez Jr fight goes thru I doubt they'll risk injuring that hand again in Feb. These fighters aren't really doing anything anyway.

Canelo is a phaget.

[US Dirk Killer]

Hey, how did the 147/154 WBC tournaments go?
Oh yea, dead before they even started

[GMAN SUPREME]

The Golovkin tournament, I love it. The winner should get a little golden statue of GGG.

knowing the wbc I wouldn't put it past them to make a special ggg belt to give to the winner of the tournament.

The irony would be the winner refuses to face GGG.
