    imagine a 8 man welterweight tournament being set up? I know it won't happen. it be intriguing to watch.

    similar to what the cruiserweights are doing, the top 4 seeds pick their opponent.
    using ESPN welterweight rankings as an example.

    Keith Thurman (1) vs Lamont Peterson (8)
    Danny Garcia (4) vs Shawn Porter (5)
    Terence Crawford (3) vs Kell Brook (6)
    Errol Spence (2) vs Jeff Horn (7)

    edited...erased Pacquiao & vargas

    now that's a fun draw right there with good matchups. who wouldn't watch that?

    such a shame it won't happen.

    I think Thurman could be the best out of that group. He already beat Porter and Garcia who are not easy to beat.

    I would strongly favour Spence over Thurman personally.

    For now I would take Spence Porter

    Somewhere within the tourney Thurman gets some strange injury that puts him out for a year.
