    7. B. Ross

    Hopefully the eWBSS can work towards making it happen.

    Robinson beats De La Hoya
    Leonard beats Ross
    Hearns beats Mayweather
    Whitaker beats Pacquiao

    Robinson beats Whitaker
    Leonard beats Hearns (could conceivably go the other way based on their fights)

    Then I’ve got Robinson edging Leonard but that would be a real pick em.

      Based off your picks, wouldn't Robinson would be facing Hearns and Leonard against Whitaker since the #1 faces the lower seed?

        Man this is tough. Big question, do all of these fighters "know" each other styles? For example, Robinson would be at a disadvantage because he knows nothing about de la Hoya. Maybe it doesn't matter but prep is everything.

              1 vs 4 is SRR/ODLH vs Pac/Pea.

              You don’t alter the bracket if a lower seed goes through.

              I’d take Robinson over Hearns anyway tbf and SRL over Sweet Pea so it would be the same final.

                  You're dead on but but I have Robinson stopping Leonard if this is a 15 round fight KO in 14

                    I was thinking a close points decision, I think it would be a highly technical affair like SRL-Benitez. That resulted in a late stoppage though so it kinda supports your point more than mine lol.
