    For me he's the favourite as it stands. What do we think of the chances of DeGale and Kessler joining him?

    Both very unlikely I think. Hopefully Benavidez gets in there too, he's a talent

    Good move from callum smith. I m not sold on him as the next ruler of the division tbh think hes been fighting guys tailor made for him but the line up with the exception of groves isnt that great. Smiths good just like his brothers tho hes not as good as they seem to be potrayed. Hes definately the best of them tho. With the right fights he can do something. Think these are the perfect types of fights he needs atm. Would stay away from groves till the end tho. Needs more experience first for me.

    Needs Ramirez, Benavidez, Zeuge and Eubank to be added.

    As it stands there is only 1 world title in the tournament so someone like Groves doesn't really have that much to gain, where as the Crusiweights have all 4 belts on the line.

    Also **** Dirrell man.

    Smith fights for WBC diamond belt in first fight, glad it's happening as Dirrell was trying anything not to fight him. If he stays injury free I would fancy Callum to win this tourney as I think him and Ramirez are the two best in the division. Hope Groves Smith can stay apart in draw would be a great final if both get there

    no, Dirrell tried to change the date and venue of their fight and i think they got sick of it so entered him into this

    Great news, the middles is still some way off the cruiser, but it's getting better, hopefully we can get Benavidez and Eubank to join next. Degale can't join because of his shoulder surgery and Ramirez wont join because he's with Arum who is an absolute ****.
