    When will people admit that the Super 6 was a failure?

    its a BOXING tournament. Injuries and setbacks are bound to happen

    froch vs abraham and ward dirrel is happening, that in itself is WIN.

    And so long as Johnson can stay alive at 168 then im all up for supporting the road warrior, he gives good fights. And could POSSIBLY beat greene if Johnson is in healthy shape

    It would be insulting to Bute to ask him to participate this late in the tournament and a disservice to the rest of the field if Bute were to advance after only 1 fight against a 'replacement' while the others have fought so hard to earn their place in the semi finals already.
    At this point though even Green advancing as opposed to Dirrell would be a bit of a travesty.

    Its not a failure, and its not over yet.

    I think everyone expected a couple of the fighters to drop out for this reason or that. Its boxing.

    We still have a few big fights to look forward to out of the tournament bro, you are jumping the gun a bit on the failure talk.

    IMO this is a fairly decent replacement on a short notice...Lets be for real here...I dont think the likes of Dawson, Bute, Pavlik, Pascal would join the Super 6 this late into the tournament...Its not gonna happen with them.

    Johnson will give anybody he fights a run for their money!
