I haven't seen ANYBODY in this SuperSix that impresses me. Including Kessler, a guy who lost to calzaghe - and I do not consider Calzaghe to be great.
I like Showtime's SuperSix tourney. But let's face it: it's a marketing technique to garner interest for a bunch of middling fighters.
Compare this SuperSix:
Arthur Abraham
Carl Froch
Mikkel Kessler
Andre Dirrell
Jermain Taylor
Andre Ward
To THIS SuperSix:
Roy Jones, Jr
James Toney
Bernard Hopkins
Joe Calzaghe
Iran Barkley
Michael Nunn
Arthur Abraham and Mikkel Kessler are the favourites. If those guys each fought the six in the second list, they might go 3-9 or 4-8.
But I realize that we are fighting in THIS era. And I'm glad Showtime was able to put this together.
...I just have to keep things in perspective.
Yeah, I know JT is 2-0 vs Hopkins. But the S6 features a vastly diminished Jermain.
