Comments Thread For: Heavyweight Super Six? Povetkin, Huck, Chisora, Haye?

[Hitman932]

After the K bros. the six best active heavyweights are (in order):

1. Povetkin
2. Chagaev
3. Adamek
4. Dimitrenko
5. Arreola
6. (Tony) Thompson

A tournament with them in it, would be something I'd love to see.

Dimitrenko has no business on that list at #4. Eddie Chambers schooled him and is more deserving of the rank not to mention Arreola would absolutely destroy Dimitrenko if they were to fight.

If they want to get the most fans to watch it, they should put 3 Americans and 3 Europeans like in the SMW Super 6.

As if Gaye would enter a Super Six

I still think Haye strolls through the rest of the division.

Outside of the Klits, guy's are too slow and don't have th sheer size to make up for it.

Exactly.

If Sauerland thinks he can get Haye to join a Heavyweight Super 6 I have to wonder what other kind of delusions he is suffering from.

Round robin doesn't work in boxing. Too many injuries. I'd rather see an eight fighter, single elimination tournament. There would still be injuries, but at least there wouldn't be an expectation of a fighter continuing the tournament after getting beaten up once or twice.

And I concur with the other posters: Haye would never, ever do this. He doesn't want to fight regularly, he just wants the biggest paydays possible (ie, K2.) A tournament is the last thing he'd want to do.

Adamek

It'd be nice if this happened but super six's are hard to put together. If it does it better not be round robin.

I loved the super 6 mostly because the best fiought the best but injuries/drop outs were the only bad points. Like your idea of an 8 fighter single elimination. Could even use rankings to seed fighters to keep the top fighters apart like tennis grandslams
