    Let's be honest.... The "SUPER SIX" just are not that good!!

    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.

              I think it was a great idea and I beg to differ about these fighters being middle of the pack fighters. These are todays world class fighters. Flawed but still world class. You can't expect everybody to be a once in a lifetime type talent.

              The list of fighters you named in your second list is a dream scenario. It's like saying todays Welterweights are ordinary compared to Leonard, Hearns, Trinidad, De La Hoya, Benitez and Quartey......uh no ****.
