    No home fighter has been beaten and Ward is the only fighter not to fight outside his country. Aside from that, look at the ludicrous rule bending when replacements came into the tournament.

    The tournament first round fights were set up for the Americans to fail which didn't exactly happen........Taylor failed, Dirrell and Froch both failed and both didn't deserve to win that fight and Ward beat the odds and upset the favorite to win the tournament Kessler.

    Mainly because of the fights coming down to the decisions. Ward has basically outclassed every opponent in the tournament so far.

    I could be mistaken, but I believe the promoter who lost a fighter was permitted to replace the fighter with one of his own. Hence, Allan Green. It's about $$$. It's always about $$$

    You are looking at this in hindsight michigan warrior, at the time of the beginning of the supersix back in 09, Kessler looked the clear favourite based on his record and performances, with Arthur Abraham as a fighter who could possibly spring the surprise and win it. Ward and Dirrell, while being recognised as talented fighters were an unproven and an unknown commodity. truth be told I never thought Froch would get to the finals.

    You only rooted for Ward and Dirrell because of your nationalistic bias, and dont try to say any different:yep

    And I know you are bragging about how you were right, but just remember that a even broken clock is right twice a day, ive seen you make the stupidest ****ing calls on this forum:good

    I'd say both Ward and Dirrell showed fantastic talent for how many fights they'd had. I thought Dirrell would do better than Ward but imo he doesn't have the heart and dedication of Ward. I actually thought Dirrell would beat Froch and wanted him to but there was nothing unjust about the decision.

    Still though, the Kessler fight was bs in the way both Ward and the refferee conducted themselves. The tournament rules were that fighters had to have 1 fight home and 1 away, Ward was the only exception. Ward is most likely a steroid abuser and the final will be in the US.

    Ward should beat Froch convincingly and I think he'll become an ATG. Dirrell has a lot of potential but imo won't go on to achieve a great deal. He came second last after Taylor in the tournament.

    Oh yes, going life and death with Mundine, beating Andrade, Beyer and Sartisan.


    A literal who's who of hofers there. :rofl


    Kessler is a C+ fighter who beat a bunch of C- level fighters.
    Based on? Who?
    Mostly to see the Europeans be proven to average. which they were.


    Seriously if you could plug in a Ward fight and a Kessler fight and immediately see why one won a Gold Medal at the olympics and the other beats up German cab drivers. You dont know boxing.

    Name them.

    Please explain to me what basis the Italian judge would have to give that round to Froch.

    Life and death my bollocks, he beat Mundine fair and square, and he gave Calzaghe a tough fight. Kessler was A- at the very least. He had a good resume leading up to the S6. If you realise this, you dont know anything about boxing. If you dont believe me that he was the favourite all you need to do is look at some of the old threads and see the polls. It is a ****ing fact that Kessler was the favourite. Abraham, while he had yet to anyone at 168 and had not beat the best of 160, still had a very impressive reign as middlweight champ and was undefeated, quite a few people were rating him highly. Mind you I never thought he would win.

    Im not going to bother digging up the old threads where you made a tit of yourself, so I will leave you with this question. What does floored mean?:rasta

    :rofl I never said he lost to Mundine. I said he went life and death. Kessler even saying that he had to dig deep to pull the victory out.


    A- you must be joking? Mosley is his prime is an A- fighter. Cotto in his prime was a B level fighter. You think Kessler has the resume to stack up with either of them? Let alone skill wise considering he lacks any sort of head movement and a right hand?


    As for giving Calzaghe a tough fight. He won 2 maybe 3 rounds at best.
    Beyer, Andrade Saritsan and Mundine are C level fighters. You can keep hyping that **** if you want.
    I know he was. Obviously people had never seen this fool actually fight.
    Name one quality opponent he beat at middleweight.
