    Super 6 - Ward clearly going to win = boring

    Since the kessler fight, am I the only person here that thinks this whole thing is a walkover, I mean I thought ward was going to win the whole thing comfortably before kessler, but does ward being in it not take the suspense out of the whole thing? I believe he is on another level, but I still hear people talking about other guys for the super six. Does anyone actually think any of the current crop can beat ward, or any 160-175lbers for that matter?

    Dirrell will pose problems for him for sure. Froch or Abraham are merely punching bags for him. However, I think that this tournament has taken a turn for the worse and it's beginning to unfold as a whack idea. They should have come up with better plans, like making all fights at neutral venues, making sure that everyone involoved is willing to fight each other and dont pull a "friend" card. But, there have been good fights but I think Wrad is definitely the class of the tournament.

      Dirrell could beat Ward. Other than that, Ward probably wins against anyone else. That doesn't change that the fights we have seen and get to see are far from boring or not interesting.

          I don't think Dirrell beats Ward. Also they made this thing too long. I get kinda of wanting all the fighters to face each other but that made the tournament way too long. Should have made it like March Madness you lose you out. Let the losers fight for rankings to kind of be in line to face the winner of the whole tournament.

            The super 6 boxing tornament was a great idea, just been unfortunate that taylor had to quit the comp, kesslers eye injury, frochs injury.

              There has been so much bad luck with this tourney. Taylor having to withdraw, the controversial decision in the Froch/Dirrell fight, Kessler's injury, Froch now has a back injury, Ward and Dirrell postponing, it just showed the difficulties with having fighters of this caliber locked into something this long.

                They are are quality matches but all the injuries and venue dispute has mared it a little bit. Ward is very technical and is not boring. I wouldn't say either that he will run away with the thing. Boxing is about stylesand all these guys are different in their own way

                  if it was a single round elimination it would have been a lot better.

                  This point system they got is cool on paper but in boxing it just doesn't work - too much time, too much politics, injuries, etc.

                    Ward ain't winning shit, unless he and Dirrell put aside friendship, and agree to their contracts to fight. Dirrell stylistically would give him the most problems.
