    This year has been a terrible year for boxing - nearly everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong. No Mayweather-Pacquiao, no Klitschko-Haye and now one of the top contenders in the Super Six is forced to drop out. 2011 can only be better.

      There's no point in getting a replacement for Kessler. I'm not shure but I don't think theres a chance of Green or the replcement being able to qualify for the semi finals anyway... so they should just make Dirrell-Ward and Abraham-Froch the semi finals.

        They should drop Green and just carry on with Froch, Abraham, Ward and Dirrell.

          Even though I don't think Green would have won this fight, I think it's only fair that he automatically advance. He did, afterall, come in at a disadvantage in the first place. Automatically advance him and lets keep on moving. No sense in trying to get a replacement at this time because then that person gets an advantage/unfair advantage just like Green did coming in to this tournament.

                  In the the super 6 is nice but the reality is there should never be a tourney with this format. For any boxing tourney in the future to succeed, there needs to be a single elimination so we can get it done quickly while proving who is the best at the same time.

                  I don't blame showtime and hopefully the learn from this.

                    They also need to have pre-determined venues in all neutral sites for every fight.

                      Like people have said drop Green although there would be some legal issues that could prevent this.
