Kessler beat Froch. Exposed? No he just ran into the future king of SMW. My vote went to Abraham of course.
Ward - Exposed as a highly skilled fighter with questionable sportsmanship values. Kessler - Thought he would go further although the eye injury has clearly affected him, lucky his career wasnt completely ended by Ward's reckless behaviour, his career may well be over at the top level, watch this space. Abraham - Exposed as a Middleweight going upto supermiddleweight, style did not translate well. Dirrell - Exposed as a whining ***** who thought spoiling, posturing and posing was enough to take a belt from a hometown fighter. That said a very talented fighter who could go far if he wasnt such a mental midget. Froch - Great to have a guy like Froch in the sport, his ability has improved as the tourny has gone on. Most exciting fighter in the tournament although that probably wont be enough to take the trophy. Taylor - Exposed as a former middleweight trying to be successful at higher weight, you cant knock Taylor for effort, he just seems 'flawed' Green - clearly not on the same level as the other guys, most likely weight drained as well Johnson - tough veteran, put on a superb display against Green but the tournament came a little to late in his career to make a real splash. Can't help but think this thread may be n attempt to bash some European boxers.
Good one. AA IS the one who suffered the most from the S6. Yes he was exposed, but don't forget he was also the one going up in weight to face bigger guys. He's no bum. :bart
Thanks:good Abraham gets a lot of unfair criticism thrown his way, not everyone can move up in weight and be successful, especially someone with the bodyshape that Abraham has. Do you think Froch is going to beat Ward? i just can't see it.
Abraham - A on trick pony with hardly any skill all he has is an iron chin,power and decent defense Dirrell - Exposed as a quitter Taylor - Exposed as having a glass jaw Green - Never be a world champion Johnson - Too old
Not at all. AA (European) is in the number 1 spot. Dirrell (USA) is second. Both were disappointments in the tournament. For me, although AA won the poll, Dirrell was the bigger disappointment because of his greater talent, and great potential.
Those picking AA are wrong, the man was clearly too small for SMW, beating a washed up Taylor had plenty swooning over him but Taylor was also a former MW.
bit harsh on Abraham. think a lot of people had him hyped up. i actually thought Taylor had a shot against him and knew he was finished when he lost. Abraham was a bolwn up middle looking for some paydays. i voted Kessler as at the time a lot of people were shocked to see him getting schooled by a prospect in Ward. Still believe this to be the most significant win of the super six.
