    WBSS: Featherweight division edition?

    Hello all. After watching the WBSS for both the cruiserweight and super middleweight and now two more new divisions being invited at 118 and 140, I was wondering which division would be the best suited to next get the tournament.

    Right now I see 160, 175, 147 and HW as the next best candidates.

    Due to politics and fighters avoiding each other I can't see it happening in three out of the four divisions (160, 47, HW), and really if GGG and Canelo didn't exist at 160 may there would have been a small chance of existing (with Charlo, Jacobs, Dervy, Murata, BJS, Andrade, Sulecki etc etc).

    175 I can see but in a much smaller scale similar to the tournament that Hopkins/Trinidad was a part of.

    I don't see 8 fighters agreeing at 175 although jack stevenson kova, gvozdyk, beterbiev, browne, bivol, barrera would be a exciting prospect.

    If Voz wins the WBC title from Stevenson, maybe a 4 man tourney in Russia between Kova, Beterbiev, Bivol, and Voz.

    Which leads to the featherweight division which was exciting couple of years ago with Walters and Loma and even now without those guys.

    I am not sure about how the seeding would work BUT

    a tournament of

    Jojo Diaz, Carl Frampton, GRJ, Valdez, LSC, Warrington, Selby, and Quigg would be an exciting prospect, or if there are other guys you think should take Quigg and Selby spot you can replace them with those two guys.

    If a FW tourney were to exist who would win the tourney and why?
