Whoever wins the Super Six will have won three fights against top quality fighters, while possibly going home with the WBC, WBA, and possibly Ring belts at 168 (if Bute were to have a poor showing and/or the Ring bumping up one of the other fighters past him at #2). With that said, where would you place the winner of the tournament today in terms of P4P Top 10? I'd say at least at #8. Kessler v. Ward (WBA) Froch v. Dirrell (WBC) Abraham v. Taylor
Hard to say but obviously if the tourney was over tomorrow then Id say 8th or 9th just below Chad Dawson and maybe above Cotto- but then it depends on your P4P list! Pac (only because of public opinion) Marquez Floyd Hopkins Mosley P.Will Dawson Cotto Calderon Hasegawa
Well, it depends on the given fighter, his record in the tourney (you can lose one and still win it, but it's not as great as winning all 5 fights) and where he was before the tourney. Dirrell for example hasn't done much, so if he wins all 5, my guess would be a 9-10th position. But with Kessler, a 2-time and former unified champ and current The Ring #1 who beat several The Rint top3 (Beyer, Mundine), top5 (Siaca) and top10 (Andrade) SMWs and only lost a close one to P4P#2 Calzaghe (landing more and taking less shots than Hopkins), he's about 12-14th right now, so beating all these guys would most likely make him 5-6th. Froch and Abraham both have a pretty solid unbeaten record and despite losses, Taylor could have a point getting a 7th position or something like that if he comes over the others, he's a former top P4P-er after all. But this is pure guess and playing with virtual numbers. The most important thing is: it's no Contender, this is to decide who's THE BEST SMW, and the quality is so great that the winner have a resume to back up a P4P position. And even more important: these fights are going to be great.
By the time this tourney is over, a lot of the guys making the top ten p4p list could be in a very different position, regardless of the SMW contest. So, who knows?
personally, I'd rank cotto above mosley, drop dawson down to no.7 then place the winner of the tourny above dawson. so, winner of super 6 = p4p no.7 (should we have an all 5 bout winner).
I think they're going to break the top 5...7 lowest!! People are saying below Chad Dawson!?!?! Seriously what the hell will bad Chad have done to justify being ranked over the winner of this tournament?? Chad isn't even the man in a very weak division (granted not his fault Hops wont fight him), and I had him drawing with Johnson. Of course much of this depends on the manner of the wins and whether or not they go undefeated. But the winner will be a big box office draw afterwards, and in my opinion this tournament is really going to show once and for all that styles do make fights!!!
I would say mid to lower top 10, but of course that could go up if the winner shuts out every opponent. One thing to bet the house on though, if Karl Froch wins hes' going to get **** all recognition by most of the Americans on here.
Easily top 5, the winner will have the strongest resume out of all world fighters in his last 5 fightsa.
Top 3 P4P fighter .... could easily hold two belts and beaten three world champions on the way .... thats good enough for me !
Seen some praise for him from Americans hence me saying most, but I've read more outspoken condemantion than priase on here.
