    Simple 8 man knockout tournament.
    the Super Six at 168 really helped the careers of most of those who took part in it

    Froch - Won IBF, then WBA
    Ward - Dawson and Rodriguez . . . . . still S.WBA champ?
    Abraham - won, lost and regained WBO
    Bika - Won wbc (lost to Anthony Dirrell in rematch)
    Johnson - fought for IBF title
    Kessler - Won WBA, attempted to unify with IBF lost and retired
    Dirrell - fighting for vacant IBF title

    154 is full of talent and would be great to see this kind of tournament

    Lara vs Andrade would be quality.

    could work, the only problem is canelo is a far bigger name and draw than the others there, and would probably look to fight cotto. mayweather who has belts at LMW will also have to vacate?

    would like to see this in a few divisions, mainly SBW where there seems to be a reluctance to fight anyone remotely decent.

    I did think about that but if the Cotto fight foesnt happen, Mayweather is tied up with the likes of Pacquiao, Khan and Cotto so doubt hell be defending his JMW belt but even the super six only had 2 belts in the tourny.

    Still if no Canelo then Julian Williams could substitute ( 18-0-1 11 KO)

    Not to mention Luke Smith (18-0-1 8 KO)

    Julian Williams V Luke Smith if Canelo is moving on up, as i doubt Kirkland or Canelo could stay at the weight for much longer

    The super 6 was class I'd love if they got something like this going, Want to see more of John Jackson, the lad who Andy Lee knocked out, good fights on this list
