    When there are so many better qualified super middles.

    Now everyone but Abraham has one easy fight. Ward lucks out.

    Short answer: Jermain Taylor was a Lou DiBella fighter, so he's being replaced by a Lou DiBella fighter.

    He starts with 0 points. There are other rules had Taylor won and then withdrawn, but I don't remember what they were.

    There are several other fighters who are much more deserving than Green. However, I think Green actually has a shot against Kessler or Froch, stylewise.

    So basically he has 2 fights and cant afford to miss out on many points as froch, aa and ward have points in the bank. But then again dirrel and kess are in the same position

    Allan Green is a good fighter, and should provide interesting matchup against the other competitors.

    This is too bad. I was very impressed with the Super Six tournament so far. It is unfortunate they have let the quality dip with the selection of a sub par fighter.

    Green will lose all his super six fights comprehensively.

    At least Taylor posed a competitive threat to win against all the others. Green couldn't even beat a crude Edison Miranda. He is also very inconsistent.

    :rofl. as limited as you may think froch is, he has beaten 4 fighters that i would put above green. also green only just about made it past a middleweight in his last fight. and i don't believe that he was injured in that fight. face facts allan green's career highpoint will be the ko of a contender bum.

    I agree. Froch is much better than he gets credit for.

    Froch will stop Green. Green is made for Froch and Kessler. He does not have the skills to avoid their power.

    We all would of preferred if it was Bute or Pavlik but at least we now get to see Green in against some legit top 10's.

    Sauerland did not want Bute or Pavlik in at the beginning, and he certainly does not want them in now.
