    Half of me wants to see these four fight it out. But then the other half of me wants to keep them separate and send them out on the world scene, then have possible match-ups later on. Who do you think can go the furthest on the world scene out of this lot? I feel Yarde has the style to be the big ticket seller, but is untested, while i think Burton is the most awkward, but not boring. Buglioni/Johnson will be interesting. I just feel it will be interesting to see how far these four actually go.

    Yarde's already ducked Burton, and if he won would have been mandatory to the winner of Buglioni/Johnson.

    So Yarde has already ducked out of your proposed tournament before it's even started =)

    I dont know that much about Johnson but Buglioni and Burton are domestic level and would be destroyed by Yarde with ease.

    Buglioni would literally be a sitting duck with no defence and Burton is a tall skinny kid who unfortunately isn't the sharpest tall in the box and would be overpowered against the technically sound and skilful power punching Yarde.

    In a couple of years or so when we are assessing yarde's career nobody will link him with those guys - that kid is going higher places then they can reach.

    Put them in with yardes opponents and they will all look great Burton isn't that good IMO but the trash opponent he fought in his last fight he looked great in knocking that trash opponent out yardes is been hyped to death without ever fighting a semi decent fighter
