    Bradley would get his little ass tore up. If you think that Rulan rocked him. Just think of what would happen when Spence, Thurman, and Brook start dropping them bombs. It would be like Molina and Ruslan. They are simply too big for Bradley. Bradley don't want none of them Showtime welters, he is in the B league.

    Theres alot of 147s . Lets just hope they fight . Rumors of good fights but not great.
    Like vargas vs brook, pac vs broner n garcia vs berto spence vs bundu n vasquez vs collazo.

    We cant complain 147s are doing there job. Porter vs thurman was a great fight .

    Sooner rather than later i wanna see thurman vs brook

    Just because the format involving six fighters was used before doesn't mean it's the best model. In fact it was dragged on too long, almost fell apart, and didn't always make sense. PBC could easily do a ww single elimination tourney. Invite Brook and if Haymon's working with Arum Bradley, Vargas, and Rios too. Seed them 1 to 16, then follow a standard 4 round bracket. PBC has so many welterweights, there's no reason they can't give the fights a bit of structure so we can see who the top guy is, and make it a big deal.

    The bracket could look like this:

    Brook (1) vs Rios (16)
    Spence (8) vs Peterson (9)

    Porter (4) vs Guerrero (13)
    Bradley (5) vs Berto (12)

    Khan (3) vs Algieri (14)
    Garcia (6) vs Vasquez (11)

    Thurman (2) vs Ponomarev (15)
    Vargas (7) vs Alexander (10)

    If he fights Garcia I don't think he beats him, and no way he knocks him out.

    Thoughtful of you to allow khan to avoid a puncher in rd 1. I would add broner in the tournament.

    There aren't really any punchers outside of a reasonable top 8 for Khan to worry about. So in a 16 man tourney we'll probably have to wai till the second round to see him on the canvas.

    If it was only or almost only PBC Broner would have to be in. I just wanted to list 16 to show that there's not a standout 6 and ww can support a more substantial tourney.
