    Froch, Dirrell and Taylor combined have a very good chance of losing every fight in the remainder of the Super Six. At least one of them has to advance, which would be the 7th loss, if that happens. I'm not saying that it will surely happen. There are a couple of fights through the rest of the tournament that are too close to call so far, but these three fighters could very easily lose all of their remaining fights in the Super Six.

    You should at LEAST think a little bit before typing.

    Froch will lose to both Kessler and Abrahams.
    Dirrell will lose to Ward and Abrahams
    Taylor will lose to Ward and probably to Kessler.

    So yes I think you are right and Froch goes through because of his lucky win against Dirrell.

    Froch might get a result against Kessler - don't be shocked if it happens.

    I did think about it

    Dirrell surely has a chance to outbox AA

    If AA doesn't land a straight right bomb on Froch then CF will surely have a chance to win by at LEAST SD

    I think its fairly harsh to say none of these guys are going to win another match at all

    How is it harsh when they will be the betting underdogs in those fights.

    Seems more likely than not, things will pan out as he predicted.

    The Froch-Kessler odds will be very close come fight time.

    Now thats just a silly thing to say......


    Ali v Foreman

    Buster v Tyson

    Trinidad v Bhop

    Oscar v PAC

    countless others......

    see where i'm going here?

    These guys aren't in the super six to make up the numbers each and every one of them are talented boxers capable of beating each other otherwise whats the point in the tournament if we already know the final is Ward v Abraham

    I only said there is a good chance of it happening. And even if I DID say "no way in hell they win another fight in the tournament"...."leave" is your response? Whahh.

    It's certainly conceivable. Taylor has 1 foot out the door and the other on a banana peel. Dirrell has the toughest matchups remaining and Froch has a few tough ones as well and was extremely lucky to have won each of his last 2 fights. However, out of the remaining bouts of all these fighters combined, the one I think is most winnable is Froch vs Kessler. So, I think he is the best bet to advance, although I think he is the least talented fighter.

    Yeah, but when one says that something is more likely to happen than not, of course there is the prospect of someone upsetting the Apple Cart.

    So sure I think there is a good chance that those 3 boxers won't go 0-7 for the rest of the tournament, but I think there is a better chance that they will.

    I certainly wouldn't be betting my life on it of course. :lol:

    You're comparing some of the biggest upsets in boxing history, over several years of history, to 7 upcoming bouts all to take place within the next couple of years. So, I'm not so sure I see where you're going. But I got an idea...you tell me what you think's going to happen.

    Dirrell has a good chance at beating AA imo.

    The problem is that, if he doesn't, Froch's gift decision will give him an illegitimate ticked through to the next round, even if that does just result in him getting KTFO again.
