super six vs wbss cruiser tourney

[future hendrixx]

which bracket do u consider to be the deepest? who was your primary pick to win it all? is the winner of the wbss at cruiser a more impressive feat than ward doing it?

my original pick to win super six was dirrell. followed by kessler. ..ward was a true underdog from what I remember.

would u consider the winner of the wbss #1 P4P? because winning the super6 is what landed ward on many P4P lists at the very top.

The Super 6 had proven champions and contenders in their prime years. The WBSS has unproven up and comers, aside of Usyk there isn't really anybody you'd consider for your P4P list.

Hopkins set the standard for an elite P4P fighter at 160. That then had an effect on the rest of the fighters at 160 & 168. Cruiser is missing that sort of fighter, their best fighters like Haye & Adamek never stuck around.


The winner should get P4P status, most guys currently on the list have very thin resumes and the winner will have fought better than most guys.

I think the Cruiserweight tournament. 4 undefeated champions. 168 had Taylor who'd be KO'd a few times, Dirrell who'd yet to prove himself or win a title, Abraham who like Taylor was a smaller man coming up. Gassiev probably had a better status than Froch and Kessler though very good had been dominated by Calzaghe. WBSS has what everyone considered to be the 1-2-3-4 of the division whereas Bute (which turned out to be wrong) was considered the best 168 in the world at that time yet not involved.

Both had good fields. I think the WBSS has a better format by far and 4 guys of similar natural weight classes.

There's no.amerixans in the tournament so they won't be rated highly. If there was an unbeaten American cruiser in the tournament and they won it you can bet that people on here would be putting them right near the top.of the p4p list. Ward hardly went through murderers row to win super 6, past prime Kessler and Abraham, Alan green (!!!!). Froch was a good win but he was tipped.to come bottom of the tournament by bookies for a reason after struggling to a shot Taylor.

The Cruiserweight winner of the WBSS is undisputed so that one

[boliodogs]

I think the cruiserweights are better overall.

[Chrismart]

I think Usyk has a case for being in the bottom half of the P4P list as it stood. But to win (if) this tournament while beating quality guys like Briedis and Gassiev bumps him up yet again.

I'm not sure about #1 for the winner, but they deserve to be in the mix towards the top.


I feel the CW has been better than the super 6 was. Not only have the WBSS learnt from the Super 6's mistakes, i also think it's a better calibre of fighter in this tournament.

Cruiserweight tourney without a doubt.

The super 6 didn't have Bute.

[Pigeons]

Both are top level. Boxing needs more of this. Especially if it unifies the entire ****ing division.

168, to me. But hit me up in a year and maybe I'll have changed my mind. I love both tournaments. If Usyk takes it, and nobody else has had a big, big win by then, then I wouldn't mind him being p4p #1. We'll see.
