          Agree with you!! Guys like Mathysse, Peterson or Porter would accept but for the rest it's would be so so difficult.

              Whoa, no! There are far too many divas in that division. It would be bitshier than Ru Pauls Drag Race. NSB would probably be the same.

                  Well Haymon has most of the top WWs, so I'm sure he wouldn't mind doing it, it's Arum that would definitely oppose such an idea.

                    Putting Broner and Garcia in this tournament is dumb.
                    Only actual Welterweights should be included in this tournament.
