[The Smash]

Ryan Martin is strongly rumoured to be in the 140lbs tournament. I also believe that the Oubaali/Chitpattana fight for the vacant WBC title will be part of the 118lbs, so all the belts will be in the pot.

[Just looking]

Will Nery sign to fight? What's the situation with WBC?

[BigZ44]

I'm starting to wonder if the 3rd weight class is actually going to be cruiserweights again, which would be amazing if they can run that back with a handful of the same dudes and throw some new guys in. Could you imagine Usyk, Gassiev, Briedis and Dorticos back to take on Bellew, Glowacki, Vlasov and Tabiti?

[Chrismart]

Martin to be the 7th guy at 140 and apparently they are in talks with a English fighter for the 8th spot.

O'Hara Davies, Flanagan or Catterall maybe ?

Those are the obvious guys, but don't recall Warren or his fighters showing much interest in the WBSS to this point and you would think he's planning to keep all the fights in house. Flanagan probably the most likely of the 3, but I wonder if it might actually be the Rickster. Did they specifically say English or just British? Tyrone Nurse maybe?

Burns was talking about moving to 140 before the Crolla fight, last I heard he was sticking to 135. Taylor/Burns would be a huge fight in Scotland though. Hearn and McGuigan would get a ton of **** for making it, but if you disguised it as part of the tournament, they might just get away with it.

Misha Aloyan confirmed in Russian media moving up a weight

[BigZ44]

Something is going to have to give at 118:
Burnett (WBA)
Tete (WBO)
Rodriguez (IBF) Vs Moloney
Donaire
5 confirmed
Inoue
Aloyan
Payano
Oubaali/Chip winner
4 more rumored

I'm guessing Oubaali is out considering that fight was supposed to be in June and got pushed back with no date currently, won't happen soon enough to make it in time for the announcement. I'm guessing Aloyan, Inoue and Payano will be the final 3, with Inoue getting the last top spot and pick of opponent.

[Chrismart]

Payano confirmed now :ANYWORD:
