    How does he matchup with Andre Ward and then Mikkel Kessler?



    GROUP STAGE 2
    Andre Dirrell vs. Arthur Abraham
    Mikkel Kessler vs. Carl Froch
    Jermain Taylor(Allen Green?) vs. Andre Ward
    GROUP STAGE 3
    Andre Dirrell vs. Andre Ward
    Carl Froch vs. Arthur Abraham
    Mikkel Kessler vs. Jermain Taylor(Allen Green?)

    He doesn't have the experience & composure to operate at this level, we saw that with Dirrell's nervous performance last night. Plus Green's chin is shaky, and he got out-boxed by Miranda. He's got the speed & power, but none of these guys will be too worried by that when he can't really back it up. He'll be the whooping-boy of the Super 6.

    He's a big guy that can punch. Could be a wild card.

    I'd say, Green isn't too much of an improvement. Good puncher, but he's still rough around the edges. A hell of a lot less mobile

    However, I would like to see him in instead of Dirrell. That kid needs some more time to dance around lesser competition and hone his talent. He had moments of unparalleled brilliance last night, and then he also had moments of absolute spoiler garbage that reminded me of a defensive-only version of Mayweather.

    Now that I think about it Froch v Green might have been a lot more exciting to watch, even though Froch would win.

    I think Green matches up well with anyone.

    I don't know if he can win though.

    I can't see Green beating either AA or MK. Maybe he could hang with Froch, but that could be tough as well given his chin issues.

    Green does have good power I think he could be the biggest fighter physically. Being a natural Light heavywieght.

    I've never thought much of Green. I don't think he's durable enough to last with AA and he's not good enough to beat MK, in my opinion.

    A Froch fight could be interesting though.
