That Muhammad Ali trophy already has his name on it, hes got it to prove but I believe hes going to win the whole thing.
Chris Eubank Jnr will win the World Boxing Super Series

I don't think he will, Groves and Smith likely beat him and some of the other guys are 50/50 fights.Comment

It's actually quite possible - the field really isn't all that strong - or is at least relatively unproven, although the same could be said for Jr himself. The only really proven guy in there is Groves and what he has proven is that he's able to hang with the best but not quite able to beat them.
If Eubank can come out on top here he will have put himself in the discussion as one of the best at 168 though.
EDIT: There's Braehmer, too, of course, who might be the best boxer amongst the 168 guys, but he hasn't campaigned at 168 for a decade and is almost certainly way past his best anyway.Last edited by Citizen Koba; 07-07-2017, 05:17 AM.Comment

Smith - Eubank will be an amazing fight. Both high volume fighters that **** to the body as well as the head, plus Smith is like what Eubank was at middleweight- a huge dude that drained himself down and had a few good advantages.Comment

I'd like to see how Rob Brant fairs. A fellow Minnesotan, I've known him for a long time. He's a little green at the A level, but if he has a solid step-up performance he should be able to clean the tournaments division.Comment

I think George & Chris Jr (assuming he wins next weekend) are the obvious top 2 seeds & guys most likely to win in this tournament easy without seeing what the brackets look like.
I think Avni & Callum are potential sleepers in this tournament who will get a chance to prove how good they are.
And I think Skoglund, Braehmer, Cox & Brant are more or less dead in the water unless they are fighting each other. I think Skoglund & Brant could have some surprise upset potential, but I think both are more likely to catch a L out of the gate unless they fight one of these other dead in the water guys in their first fight or one of the better guys gets hurt.
So my picks for most likely to win this tournament to least likely would be:
1 - *Eubank Jr, 24-1
2 - Groves, 26-3
3 - Smith, 22-0
4 - *Abraham, 46-5
5 - Yildirim, 16-0
6 - Skoglund, 26-0
7 - Brant, 22-0
8 - Braehmer, 48-3
9 - Cox, 22-0Comment
