Is the draw for the super6 fair or does one fighter have an easier set of fights?

    I cant help thinking that Ward has an easier 3 fights than say Froch, i mean he's got AA and Kessler plus Dirrell. Whereas, Ward's got Kessler,Taylor plus Dirrell. Dirrell is equally inexperienced as Ward yet he's got to fight Froch and AA. Anyone else agree or is it just me?

    Of course someone is going to end up with what seems an easiest set. My vote for that goes to AA.

    AA
    - Taylor: most damaged going in
    - Direll: greenest going in
    - Froch: lesser of the 2 SMW champs

    Ward does have an easier go than Froch and I would say has 2nd easiest line up.

    I don't see it as any easier or more difficult for anyone.

    However, I do think they should all be enterting the New York, Berlin and London marathons in future. After all the running around the ring to catch Andre Dirrell they must all stand a fabulous chance of breaking the world record.

    Nonsense...

    If you got six boxers some are better than the others.

    Kessler and Abraham as the favorites got always an easier 3 fights than underdogs like Ward or Dirrell.

    As posted, AA's got the weakest pick, the difference being that all Ward's fights are at home.

    Though, Dirrell stylistically thinking, will probably beat Ward.

    I believe Ward does have a fight on the road, just it's going to still be in the US.
