Comments Thread For: Does the Super Six (Nine?) Boxing Classic Still Matter?

[BattlingNelson]

The tournament as a groundbreaking new installment has failed. Let's be real.

Still it's relevant if nothing else then for the individual match-ups the tournament will produce. So it's still a good thing, but unfortunately the intriguing format introduced that looked so great on paper is not a blueprint for other divisions to follow.

And finally the tournament has produced a lot of hype and global recognition of the participants that wouldn't have been achieved had the contestants continued their respective paths of fighting at home.

Its a shame is fallen apart, I mean what happens now though?

Does Johnson still fight Green?

Who is going to take Dirrells place?

If the above don't happen, are AA & Froch still going to fight for the title?

t was the first so course t was going to have kinks but I didn't think it would fall apart like this. Imo next time all fights should be held on the same night & if fr sme reason you couldn't go the other fighter get the point or fine fighters for holding up fights like aa & fronch. If they drop out they have to pay half the money back. For a tournament they need stricter contracts that make the fighters stay in it.

If matter if, in the end, it's Ward vs Abraham for the crown.

Of course, it's the KING's Crown, so it goes to Abraham.



No disrecpect towards Ward, who is a bad ass mfer himself.

This sucks big time!!! this super six has turned into a groundbreaking disaster.u got guys like Andre ward who refuses to fight anybody outside of his home town! this fight should had happen already!!u can't set something up like this and let these guys dictate How it's gonna go..this is a big blow and it really hurts the game..I think both fighters should be ashamed.. And if Andre ward somehow gets a bye to the next round, it would be slap in the face to all the fighters in the super six, and it would show how they are holding Andre ward's hand though this hole tourny. Love Andre ward but I just think he's been a baby though this hole thing...I vote Chad Dawson in..if he can make the weight..

The Super Six has been a joke since the first night of fights when Taylor was knocked out of the tourney and the Dirrell-Froch decision happened. Every step of the way there has been nothing but controversy and letdowns.

They should just cancel this crap now.

I agree, but even those individual matchups aren't happening now. Nothing but disappointment every time.

When it was first announced, it was the next BIG thing in world boxing, now its just turned into a farce to be honest

A waist of time cause anyway , the best of the division is not there.
Bute would beat anyone of them. A walk in the park for Bute.

No lie, the tournaments kind of a mess now. I still like it, but its not as good as i hoped it would be. As someone said earlier, its all about the match ups now. But when you have a long drawn out tournament like this, ****'s bound to happen.
