Super Six II - weight division & line-up

160?

 

welterweight

floyd
manny
ortiz
berto
khan
kell brook

 

160 for me.

There needs to be a sorting of the men from the boys, and the boys from the bus drivers.

Golovkin and Pirog are just fighting bums, there needs to be a bit of clarity established domestically too.

I bet it's the division with most claimants to a ''world'' title.

I'd make this a [thinks of suitable N word] Nine, three groups of three, two fights each then the winner of each group plus the best runner up go into the semis.

Martinez
Chavez
Golovkin
Pirog
Sturm
Geale
Macklin
Barker
Rubio

ideally of course.

 

LHW would be good with
1) Hopkins
2) Dawson
3) Pascal
4) Cloud
5) Cleverly
6) Shumenov

OR LWW

1) Bradley
2) Peterson
3) Khan
4) Rios
5) Maidana
6) Alexander

 

We can't get Mayweather and Manny to fight for love nor money!

 

assuming we are trying to keep it realistic, there would be no "elite" fighters in the tournament as they basically dont need to take the risk. Theres no way Khan or Bradley would take part in a LWW tourney, and theres no way Bhop would take part in a LHW tourney.

MW is a good shout although i wouldnt expect martinez or chavez jnr to play any part;

Sturm
Pirog
Golovkin
Geale
Macklin or Barker
Peter Quillin (for the yank interest)

 

Agree with 160.

I'd have;

Golovkin
Martinez
Chavez Jr
Pirog
Sturm
Geale

Could probably shift a few round. I'd prefer NJikam to Geale myself, probably not all that marketable though. Then again, Geale would **** up the schedules when he's at home, and ain't all that anyway.

Also, let's assume that it's Showtime going with their proven format. Sergio and JCC Jr are probably out on that basis.

 

Nah, it would just create another challenger for them to bore to death ;-)

 

No Andy Lee? :huh

 

Although the Super Six was a terrific idea, and a very welcomed bit of innovation in this stagnant, declining and extremely unimaginitve Boxing World of today, I think that the format was flawed.

I'm a huge fan and advocate of the tournament format in Boxing but believe that it would be far more efficient and concise in future using either 4/8 fighters in a straight knock-out bracket, the round robin format caused far too many problems.

Personally 122 looks potentially very hot, if they can pursuade Toshiaki Nishioka and Teiken Promotions to take part that would be my pick.

 

forgot about him...if you wanted to maintain a geographical spread he could be in there instead of macklin / barker

 

Does it have to be realistic? Because when I'm not on this bloody iPod I'm going to construct a sensational flyweight one(WITHOUT Pong[and possibly Segura through spite ]).

 

probably not. i'd be tempted to include a guy i created on Fight Night Round 4 the other week.
