    Super Six

    What status would you people give the eventual winner of the S6 tournament? Will it automatically elevate them to ATG level being the first winner of such a competition?
    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.

      Hall of famer, but there is a big chance he (or she in case of Direll )could fight on to become an ATG.

        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.

          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

            1) 168 lbs champion
            2) p4p top 10

            no, because none of them are ATGs

            AA couldn't get fights at MW because he didn't want to fight in the USA...

              HOF is too premature... none of these guys are HOFers.

                    50% Abraham and his management and the other 50% goes to Arum for being greedy and fearful of the prospect Abraham KOing Pavlik...
