    As long as LHW's in there I'll be happy. Far too much talent to not choose it, give me any 8 of:

    Kovalev
    Stevenson
    Beterbiev
    Bivol
    Gvozdyk
    Alvarez
    Jack
    Smith Jr
    Barrera
    Browne

    ... and I'll be very happy indeed.

    Well I am not that keen on Bantamweight... but LHW would be awesome. There are some serious issues there, that have to be solved. ( who is the best one there )

    There won't be much interest in bantam. You need to have a possibility of KO's to make it interesting.

    LHW won't contain Stevenson, the guy is 57 and won't line up a 3 fight schedule.

    LHW is definitely the most competitive division along with CW. Let’s hope Mikey stays at LW, Loma joins and then we have a good line up.

    Mikey
    Loma
    Linares
    Easter Jr
    Luke Campbell
    G. Davis
    Commey
    Beltran (if he still has the belt)
    Fortuna

    Standbys:
    Roman Andreev
    Crolla

    No, Stevenson will not participate (for a couple of reasons). And the WBSS will want some LHWers from the UK, I think.

    Bantamweight could be ****ing amazing. How this? Assuming Yamanaka retires win or lose against Nery.

    Naoya Inoue
    Luis Nery
    Jamie McDonnell
    Zolani Tete
    Ryan Burnett
    Juan Carlos Payano
    Emmanuel Rodriguez
    Omar Narvaez

    With these 4 as alternates, would be damn good.
    Takuma Inoue
    Paul Butler
    Karim Guerfi
    Jason Moloney
    Nordine Oubaali

    Solis or Haskins are fine alternates as well.

    LHW would be the only division i would watch :p I think Kovalev would get whooped by Gvozdyk. Betterbiev is not on Gvozdyk's level. Overrated boy

    I got Tete and Nery in the final if the draw would allow for it.

    Inoue beats them both, viciously. Nery I doubt sees the 3rd round, Tete might make it to the 8th or 9th.

    Sauerland mentioned two weight divisions in his last interview about new season.
