"Super6" Tournament for Cruiserweights?

Yeah, and Floyd is Void and Manny's on the roids bad!


Anyway, a SS at CW would be OK with me. I think Cunningham and Huck would be the guys to beat.

 

Sorry mate, I think there was already a thread talkin about this over the last couple of weeks. There might have even been more, it's been talked about a good bit.

As I said on that, I dont know about this because a lot of those guys are pushing on in years. I don't think a 2 year tournament with one top fight after another suits fighters in their 30s, you'd certainly have guys pulling out in the middle.

 

Mm...yeah, tweaking of the SS formula could certainly be used.

 

I think a rejuvenated Maccarinelli would do well in such a tournament

 

I'd worry about him getting "Jermained".

 

Cunningham
Lebedev
Ross
Huck
Frenkel
Flores

Would be my picks. A mix of 3 North American's and a 3-strong European contingent aswell. You've got belt-holders, contenders and in Frenkel, a prospect who's emerging onto the world stage ala Ward/Dirrell before the super-middleweight Super Six.

 

I dunno, I'm finding it difficult to stay interested in the tournament tbh. I watch the fights when they come on but the whole thing doesn't seem to well organised, it doesn't help that as soon as one of the Marquee names gets KO'd they left the tournament, even though it definately was the right decision.

They should have scheduled it up so that either all bouts happen on the same card in the same neutral venue, or there would be one fight on the 3rd Saturday of every month ... effectively giving each fighter 3-4 months between fights.

It's a great idea in concept but there seems to be a lot of politics going on and now we have characters bleating on about Lucian Bute being the greatest thing at SMW, simply due to the fact he's not in this competition.

Bit off-topic that but my on topic point ... if the SMWs can't keep my attention, then the Cruisers certainly can't.

 

this can by done better then the smw one as there is less money involved they should be able to get the top six in the division.cunningham should come out on top

 

Any tournament in boxing would be great. In fact, I hoped the first super 6 six would create some kind of boom.
But cruiserweight has always been the least interesting division imo.

So a tournament in CW would do the division good. But for boxing in general, a tournament at some other, more interesting weight class, would be better.

 

It's taking too long - the Super Six should have had all the venues and dates pre-determined or even had all the fights on the same night across USA/UK/Europe.

All the fixtures on one night would keep everyone interested and get fans value for money instead of shoddy undercards

 

After the Cunningham-fight, Sauerland confirmed that they´re working on a CW-Super-Six.

Huck and Cunningham are in for sure and there are negotiations with Wlodarczyk and Jones. For the other two fighters there will be probably one fighter from North America and another figther from europe they said.

It could be like this:

Cunningham
Jones
Ross?
Huck
Wlodarczyk
Lebedev?
