Merhy and Lerena are decent cruiserweights but yeah other tham the top 3 names there are only young prospects, dudes you never heard even if you are a boxing head and old/past prime former contenders2020 y'all
Rivas and BY are the only good/decent names on this
Romanov is like an advance prospect
Kudryashov and Szpilka have taken too much punishment and shouldn't be fighting anymore
the rest

That’s a great idea I wanted them to do this. There are 3 divisions PBC more or less runs. 122, 147 and 154. So it definitely makes sense and good to hear.
Fulton, Roman, Leo, Vargas, Nery, Figueroa, Aleem, that’s already 7. Only one more and they can do it WBSS format. I wish they’d invite MJ as an outsider as the 8th, that way all the belts would be in it too but doubt it. Probably gonna be someone stepping up from 118 (Rigo, Oubaali, Donaire...). Still a great tournament and the winner could go for undisputed with MJ if he’s not in it
definitely pbc got serious 122 talent..the 8th should be Rigo..he is still the lineal champion there

Donaire Tests Positive For COVID-19; Out Of 12/19 Fight Against Rodriguez

COVID-19 has impacted Showtime’s December 19 tripleheader yet again.
BoxingScene.com has learned that Nonito Donaire has tested positive for the coronavirus and has withdrawn from his WBC bantamweight title fight against Emmanuel Rodriguez. Donaire was supposed to face France’s Nordine Oubaali in Showtime’s main event that night, but Oubaali tested positive for COVID-19 and was replaced last month by Rodriguez.
Showtime’s card could move forward with Rodriguez in the main event against another opponent, possibly Reymart Gaballo. The Philippines’ Gaballo (23-0, 20 KOs) is scheduled to battle Chile’s Jose Velasquez (28-6-2, 19 KOs) in the opener of Showtime’s tripleheader, but he might move into the main event versus Rodriguez.

It was not clear at the time this story was posted if the WBC would sanction Rodriguez-Gaballo as a bantamweight title fight. Gaballo is ranked 26th in the WBC’s most recent ratings and, according to those listings, would not be eligible to fight for its bantamweight championship against the fourth-ranked Rodriguez.
Las Vegas’ Donaire (40-6, 26 KOs), who is the mandatory challenger for Oubaali’s WBC 118-pound championship, and Puerto Rico’s Rodriguez (19-1, 12 KOs) were supposed to fight for the WBC bantamweight championship. The WBC designated Oubaali its champion in recess once he pulled out of the Donaire fight and indicated Oubaali could make an optional title defense by February or face the Donaire-Rodriguez winner in his next fight.
If Oubaali beat an optional opponent by the WBC’s February deadline, he would’ve had to face the Donaire-Rodriguez winner in his following fight to fulfill his mandatory obligation.
Showtime’s co-feature December 19 also was altered last week due to COVID-19.
Jaron Ennis (26-0, 24 KOs), a highly touted welterweight contender from Philadelphia, was supposed to square off against Las Vegas’ Thomas Dulorme (25-4-1, 16 KOs). Once Dulorme tested positive for COVID-19, he was replaced by South Africa’s Chris van Heerden (28-2-1, 12 KOs) in that 10-round bout.
