    The fact that Andre Ward won this tournament speaks volumes about the level of competition involved. Ward is a good fighter, but lets face it, there is nothing spactacular about the kid. His style is not fan-friendly, very boring, he's too careful and holds alot. IMHO he is more of a younger version of the "Old-Man Version" of Bernard Hopkins. And if a fighter that's still young, learning and haven't really perfected a style and holds way too much was able to dominate by wide decisions the so-called best group of European fighters at SMW, it should tell you all you need to know about the level of competition in this tournament. At the very beginning, I picked Dirrell because I thought you was the most polished of the fighters in the tournament. Hell, after seeing the performances of all the fighters, I'm thinking maybe Anthony Dirrell could have won this Tournament.

    Hats-off to Showtime for putting something like this together, I just wished they had done their homework.

    Be honest: how much would you pay to watch an Andre Ward fight live?

    Exactly. So it's not surprising that he's not a draw.

    Its managed to get alot of the top ranked super middles to face each other over the past couple of years, something that in the same period of time got harder and harder to achieve in many of the other divisions. Id say its been somewhat of a success.

    At times messy, far from perfect and i admit if big fights were made when they should be in the sport then the super 6 would be quite unneccecery but its in a **** state right now and this has been a good project.

    I loved everything about the super six. I hope there is something similar in the future

    there really is, how can you be world champion and never leave your country? even fighters ali left their home country when he was in a much stronger position than ward, to only fight in your home country is like only playing at home all nfl season, its bull****

    calazghe got no end of **** for fighting alot in the uk...why is that?
