    I hear a lot of talk about how this guy is a really powerful puncher. Well ok then... lets rank the Super 6 in order of KO %


    1. Arthur Abraham - 78%
    2. Carl Froch - 74%
    3. Mikkel Kessler 71%
    4. Andre Dirrell - 65%
    5. Allan Green - 64.52%
    6. Andre Ward - 60%
    Hmmm.... just looking at the KO % it would seem that actually, his power isn't actually that great. But thats not really a fair assessment if we don't also look at the level of competition. So lets rank them in order of levels of competition


    1. Froch - Pascal, Dirrell, Taylor, Kessler
    2. Kessler - Calzaghe, Andrade, Ward, Froch
    3. Dirrell - Abraham, Froch
    4. Abraham - Dirrell, Taylor, Miranda
    5. Ward - Miranda, Kessler, Green
    6. Green - Miranda, Ward
    Hmm... disagree with me on who has faced the better level of competition but it seems that Allan Green has faced the lowest level of competition and also has the second lowest knockout ratio.

    If he has power, then he is not going to get a chance to deliver it at all against anyone remotely good. He knocked down Miranda you say? Oh, the same Miranda that uses his chin to block punches and has been brutally KO'd against Bute, Abraham and Pavlik... ohhh yeahhh.

    I have nothing against Green and wish him all the best in his career. I hope he gets a belt at some point. But i can't believe anyone is giving him a chance against Kessler... the man does not even have the power to compete with Mikkel, and thats the only thing he was being hyped as - a heavy hitter!!

    KO% can be deceptive. Some guys have the power but they're not good enough to make it work for them as often as a lighter hitting precision puncher for instance.

    Well, I thought Green was going to KO Andre Ward. Green does have devastating power ( see the Cordington fight) he just couldnt land it on Ward.

    But.. but.. he knocked out Jaidon Codrington!!

    But saying he is the worst of the S6 is obvious... hes an alternate, B level stand in.

    Dirrell didn't KO AA and Froch though. A better comparison would be to list the top fighters they have knocked out.

    Lou DiBella must be really pissed off right now. First Jermain Taylor gets knocked right out of the tourney. Then Allan Green puts in a terrible performance and makes excuses. Did anyone notice DiBella glaring at Green after the fight? I thought he was going to pistol whip him right there in the ring.

    Oh, hi Boxed Ears.

    Well... i guess we will never know whether he has the power to hurt an elite fighter because he will never land a punch on one

    I noticed this from Lou... was pretty confusing. I don't know if he was just really embarrassed or he was actually pissed at Green.

    Allen " Feet " Green is a world class fighter who can KO the a prime Iron chinned Ali!:roll:

    His KO power is a wonderful thing! His left hook is mosterous...Its harder than Joe Frazier!:roll:

    Kessler didn't KO any of the fighters you listed, in fact he lost to 2 of them. Froch only KOed a shot concussable JT. If Green gives MK a tough fight or beats him we know where MK really stands. We know where Froch stands, BARELY getting by a shot JT, losing to a green as fresh cut grass Dirrell at home and losing to a shot Kessler. Styles make fights and let's just wait and see how it unfolds. If he gets sparked by Green he should retire. If he blows him out, good for him. But Green is not going to as easy for MK as he was for Ward, with the style clash I just don't see it.

    Indeed. And even if he does land on Kessler, we know the man can take a shot. His puncher's chance is not good.

    Allen Green is a joke. I thought this fight with Ward was gonna be something to watch & what did he do? NOTHING!

    Thats it for him. Wasted talent, if you can call having (or had) a good left hook as talent.

    I remember when that white boy form Oklahoma almost put his lights out on ESPN a few years ago. He should have finished off his carreer that night & saved us all alot of frustration!

    Im not saying that Kessler knocked out any of those fighters... im just saying his KO% is much higher than Green's despite facing the much better competition. i.e. even though Green has been racking up victories against bums, Kessler still maintains a higher KO%

    Green wont be a walk over for kessler... but it will be a very impressive win for Mikkel

    It was easy. I just called him, said I had this little Hagvatar war with a poster named Boxed Ears.

    "Boxed Ears?" he said. "Sounds like a chump. Anything for you Boggle. You're a great friend, and one tough son of a *****."

    He put on the shirt, had his wife take a picture and the rest is history.

    That Hag with hair picture is crazy. He's almost unrecognizable. He's gotta be early 20's there?
