That's the way it is, not the way it ends
Kessler may be considered the number 1 guy but he doesn't have a Ring belt to his name and his biggest win in the past couple years has been the Calzaghe loss. He has just as much to prove as the other guys in the tournament, Marquez wouldn't.
Also, Ali Funeka should take Nate Campbell's place. Casamayor, I'd rather see Anthony Peterson. The good thing Showtime did is they didn't have old fighters who no one cares to see anymore. Casamayor is probably done, I'd rather see them mix in a younger, even if less proven, guy like Anthony Peterson like Showtime did with Dirrell and Ward.
135 does look pretty wide open though maybe more wide open then just 6 spots. The guy you could ever envision being called the best SMW in the world right now outside of the Super 6 is Bute. The 135 lb weight category is a lot more tricky. There is a heap of wild cards from Miguel Acosta who just KO'd the very good prospect Urbano Antillon to Humberto Soto who is moving up from 130 to lightweightn now and will actually face Acosta next. There are like a dozen guys who feel like they should be in any tournament at 135.
Although I agree with your overall view Amat, I Just couldn't help but point that out.
I agree JMM doesn't need to be in the tourney. He has options at other weights, whilst Nate, Juan Diaz & Casa have all left the weightclass so for me it would be
Edwin Valero
Michael Katsidis
Joan Guzman
Humberto Soto
Anthony Peterson
Ali Funeka
I think out of that either Soto or Guzman win it.
After Pac gets beat punching above his weight (which he will in the next 2 fights as long as they are Cotto and Mayweather) I think he will move back to LW so i'd like to see his name in there.
