mate your forgetting that danny green would add around 20 million veiwers from australia, he is a household name over here and we go nuts for our athletes! and although he probably should be at lightheavy he can bang and probably wouldnt have much drama lifting his weight a little
There's barely 20 million PEOPLE in Australia, much less 20 million people who would watch Danny Green fight.
Oh yeah especially that all those 'bums' have so small reach when you compare it to to Green that of course Green's jab will be effective as hell. Has this Aussie ever fought a real puncher ? Paul Briggs doesn't count. Has this Aussie ever fought a real cruiser :huh? But I heard that Troy Ross is willing to fight Green so why not? That would be for him real first experience in CW. Will he take this challenge ?
There's not Danny Green in it. I read some interveiw with Wlodarczyk or Wasilewski (his manager), who said there're Wlodarczyk, Huck, Cunningham, Hernandez, Maccarinelli and Lebedev planned to take part in the tournament. I'd change Maccarinelli with Green, personally. But I don't decide about it It should be good anyway, with Green or without him.
Hmm well out of those 6 Maccarinelli is clearly outclassed. Ross deserves it more on the strength of his last outing provided he's healthy. Flores also worthy of consideration but he's been inactive. Also what about Ola A? Flores should get a chance to box Hernandez to determine the last spot, and Ross gets in instead of Macc. Then you have a genuine Super 6. Maybe if Flores signs with Sauerland in the next few days he gets a shot, but unfortunately he may get left out. I don't believe Green would be interested--this is a 200 lb tourney and Green fights at 180-185.
I am a boxing super fan and will watch almost any fight anywhere. I would not be excited about this tourney in the least.
These should be super 6 contenders IMO: -winner of (Marco Huck vs Matt Godfrey) vs Mateusz Masternak -Steve Cunningham -Krzysztof Wlodarczyk -Denis Lebedev -winner of (Alexander Frenkel vs Enzo Maccarinelli) vs BJ Flores -winner of (Danny Green vs Troy Ross) vs Pawel Kolodziej Hernandez doesn't deserve a place in super 6 IMO. If he doesn't agree he can fight against Lebedev/Cunningham/Wlodarczyk. If he wins then replaces Lebedev/Cunningham/Wlodarczyk.
Leave out all the Polish boxers except Wlodarczyk, make the Hernandez vs Flores IBF Eliminator a wild card eliminator to the tourney, and include whoever is appointed WBA champion. Cunningham Huck/Godfrey Wlodarczyk WBA champ (Herelius? Brudov?) Lebedev Hernandez/Flores
If Green wants to hold onto the IBO belt than having him in there is good, that way a belt is on the line in his first fight. However my thoughts are Green should really be campaigning at 175lbs
