    So you cant answer.

    Edit

    Why do you think its trolling to give people credit for putting their titles on the line for a competition they didnt have to bother with, against a bunch of fighters with it all to gain and little to lose

    Froch was unknown in his own country. How did he have anything to lose

    Kessler was inactive and spent 2 years beating cans. What did he have to lose?

    So you are saying Froch he is just blowing smoke , much like Calzaghe was when he told Tim Lovejoy he was looking for a fight with Jones?

    I set that trap for you Bailey boy and you walked right into it head first.

    How did I get schooled when you wouldn't take the bet? I offered 800 to your 575 that AA would beat Froch and you turned it down. You can't take credit for schooling me when you pussied out of the bet.

    Kessler fought Calzaghe and Ward in their backyards - Warrior

    Froch fought Kessler and Ward in their backyards - Warrior

    Both of these legends deserve the utmost respect :deal

    there you go crediting paper champions again...
    why do you think a SMW tourney was held, and only at SMW?

    calzaghe retired and there was no champ
    ALL fighters had something to gain that they didnt have - the status as the undisputed champ, and now we have him

    He travelled to the other side of the planet with his world title, while being a relatively big name in boxing :huh

    Don't know why ANYONE takes Failey serious here. He's inconsistent as ****, and stubborn as a mule.

    You think Kessler pulled out without a reason?
    WBC champ and a fight against Green next. :bart

    Really hope Ward will get KO'ed in the rematch in Denmark just to make you cry!

    Why doesnt Ward get any credit for beating Kessler, Green, Bika, and Froch as a young fighter honing his skills against the elite?

    Froch and Kessler, legends and warriors they are, needed a S6 tournament to bring them into world stage limelight, and it did so as Froch is becoming more and more recognizeable. Bailey you should respect boxing as a whole and appreciate even american fighters rather than sticking to your agenda and defending solely Euro fighters..

    very good point

    ward staying at home for all his fights when not even a champion was an absolute disgrace

    how many of the super 6 fights were won by the away fighter?

    its also worth noting that the best fight of the tournament by a long way was kessler v froch.
