Super Six

50% Abraham and his management and the other 50% goes to Arum for being greedy and fearful of the prospect Abraham KOing Pavlik... Gotta be in the Top 10 P4P and a HOF'er if they beat Bute or the other belt holders. top 10 p4p? agreed. HOFer? too early. most of those guys are champs or former champs (except the 2 green boxers Ward and Dirrell)... imho, its too early to get them into the HOF. sorry if I set the bar high.

You face all different styles and they are all pretty much in prime 1 or 2 years before or after their prime. You have a power puncher with a tight guard in Abraham. A technical pot shotting. Counter punching fighter in Taylor. A almost defenseless but agressive fighter in Froch who can bang. You have a straight up European style in Kessler who has a strong punch. You have Dirrel who is fast and moves. Mouthy too. You have Ward who is extremely skillful, fast and accurate. Quite religious. Gotta be in the Top 10 P4P and a HOF'er if they beat Bute or the other belt holders.

Big player

Def P4P status

They'll probably be recognized as the best figher in their division. Maybe even an all-time best in their division.

well, AA chose money over the big fights.... who is to blame for that? 50% Abraham and his management and the other 50% goes to Arum for being greedy and fearful of the prospect Abraham KOing Pavlik...

Bullshit...if the money ain't right he shouldn't go over there...now with the tourney, he gets about $2 million for each fight and is going to fight Direll in the US and Froch in the UK... well, AA chose money over the big fights.... who is to blame for that?

AA couldn't get fights at MW because he didn't want to fight in the USA... Bullshit...if the money ain't right he shouldn't go over there...now with the tourney, he gets about $2 million for each fight and is going to fight Direll in the US and Froch in the UK...

Hall of famer, but there is a big chance he (or she in case of Direll )could fight on to become an ATG. HOF is too premature... none of these guys are HOFers.

What status would you people give the eventual winner of the S6 tournament? 1) 168 lbs champion 2) p4p top 10 Will it automatically elevate them to ATG level being the first winner of such a competition? no, because none of them are ATGs The thing i worry about is that the winner may find it hard to find profile fights as most unbeaten people will probably duck him, as happened with Abraham at middle weight.

Abraham also is unwilling to travel which forces him out of fights, when fights dont materialize fear is not always the most important factor its often ego. I think they will be able to ge fight bc of so much recent exposure each fighter will immediately be a marquee fight

ATG seems a bit premature, imo to be an ATG you need to either defeat a HOF fighter in his prime, dominate a weight division consistently for a long time, or fight a top 10 p4p fighter who is above your natural weight class. anyways back to the tourney and id say that if someone was to go through the tourney unbeaten then they should be a HOF. however i really can't see that happening because the quality is too high and we have so many fighters with so many different styles. i think the winner should be HOF worthy.
