    Title is click bait though because there won't really be an official super six type tournament.

        The Super Six only worked because of the vacuum after Calzaghe left - a 'best of the rest + up'n'comers' competition. Even then Bute was excluded. It could possibly work again in the heavyweight division soon if Klitscho was to retire, or the middleweight division if GGG was to move up. The biggest problem with organising these events is the titles have to be vacant - if too many are currently held you will have trouble (plus huge expense) getting all title holders or any unified titlists in the ring.

        Maybe if the Ring title was only given out to the winners of multi-titlist tournaments and there were appropriate rewards for the boxers involved we might see them more often.

                Of all the bouts mention the only one that is not even legitimate , IMO, is Broner that's a pure crap fight and Showtime would really be lowering your standards to bring this fight 2 TV...

                    Damn. And here I thought my work for Ring Magazine automatically made me a Haymon hater because I'm Golden Boy's lapdog.

                    And man, I seem to recall heavily criticizing PBC on another story a few weeks back.

                    A person can have opinions, positive or negative, without having biases or conflicts of interest.

                    But thanks for playing the game. Better luck next time!
