Lets just say in the Super 6 that Green beats Kessler Dirrell beats Ward Froch beats Abraham Kessler and Green would then exit the competition with the least points and the WBC belt with them, leaving only one belt (The WBA). Would the Super 6 still have the same prestige with one less world title as the champion of the Super 6 wont leave as a unified champ just a WBA belt wrongly made up to Super WBA? I guess Green is in a good situation because if he beats Kessler he could leave the competition to get on with his career with a title, to possibly bargain for bigger money against Bute. What do you think?
Not really, belts mean nothing in boxing anymore. Plus its highly unlikely that all three underdogs will win.
I'd say Dirrell has a good shot at beating Ward. Tough fight, but winable. Also Green.. well It's going to be a slugfest.. Really Kessler's style has changed so much since Andrade or Calzaghe.. so Green definitely has a punchers chance. Froch... not so much..
The belts don't really matter imo. The winner of this tournament, no matter who it is, will leave with a great amount of prestige, whether he ends up with one belt or three.
I think belts have lost alot of meaning but, do believe that they still hold alot value. Fighters like to claim themselves as world champs and are normally respected for being. Thats why I think its a bit odd in the situation of Green because he could beat Kessler and be a world champ, yet out of the Super 6, and in a bargaining position, when he has just lost to Ward and in general isnt highly rated.
