There have been rumors that season 3 may feature the heavies.
What weights and fighters would you be interested in?
Heavyweights would be a very good thing but can it happen?
If it makes the best fighters fight one another then welterweights otherwise middleweight or light heavyweight tidy up would be good.
I heard that Whyte was going to be the #1 seed, so I guess guys like Ruiz, Joshua, Wilder and Fury wouldn't be included.Quote:

I would like a HW tournament only if it included all of the best HWs. If Whyte is #1 seed, then I’m not really that interested. Welterweight is the same. There would be awesome match ups, but there is no way you are getting the best welters to be in it. Either featherweight or super featherweight are probably the best realistic weights that it could happen in. I actually wouldn’t mind a middleweight one even without Canelo or GGG. Let the others fight it out and forget about those two.
Speaking of this, when is the cruiserweight final supposed to be? Supposedly Briedis and Glowacki are mandated to have a rematch after the controversial ending.
This was back in April, so things would have changed by now. Other names were the Derek Chisora vs Joseph Parker winner, Daniel Dubois, Filip Hrgovic.Quote:

Glowacki was the one holding it up. Hopefully he will wait and fight the winner of the final.

Heavyweight would be good but it always seems to double the political blockades too. Maybe it's just the brighter lights on them. Have to think Ruiz winning would make it easier to see best v best and Wilder and Ortiz followed by Fury are set to sort things out again. There are enough decent up and comers to second tier it with Dubois, Hrgovic, Joyce, Ajagba maybe a Kownacki. Big juicer Miller coming back and Whyte and the arrival of Usyk. There really are some promising what ifs that would be solid. Lightweight could use a real sharpening and be great if Mikey was to return but that ship has sailed. All in all after a few bumps the WBSS has really delivered the goods.
