Truthfully: How Much Do We Truly Know About Anyone In The Super 6?

well we know AA never quits and is always coming at you...even with a broken jaw/grotesque face ...and he can take alot of punishment as in the Miranda 1 fight....

 

That says it all !

 

AA has had test... He fought a 6'4 middleweight who was suppose to be dangerous... Defeated him with ease.. He dominated Miranda in the second fight where it was at the weight Edison was most comfortable at... HOWEVER, Khoren Gevor and Mahir were able to compete with Arthur... He's been in with good fighters... Eastman, Miranda, Gevor, Ikeke, Jantuah... He wants the step up fights but i guess they don't want him... Now he'll get his wish...

Dirrell and Ward are about to be tested like they havent been tested before... But this is a tournament, something Andre Ward should be comfortable with... He won a Gold Medal in the last boxing tournament he was in.. Dirrell is going to be in with Froch so we might get the answer to how will Direll react when hurt....

Kessler is probably the favorite to win... He has a good offense, and some power.. But he's a 1-2 guy.. Can he get it done on the inside~?? Is he comfortable fighting on the inside... Which might be what Ward will do...

Taylor.. stamina, stamina, stamina... If he had the proper stamina, he'll beat Abraham... Probably beat Froch in a rematch... But because of his lack of it, he'll be competitive, might even win a fight or 2... But ultimately, will lose.. Kessler has good stamina.. He can fight at a moderately fast pace for 12 rounds... Taylor can't...

Froch is flawed, but finds ways to win against guys who are more athletically gifted than him (Pascal, Taylor)...

 

I guess we just got educated guesses and opinion's and a million questions as well as things we hope for. Im interested to see if AA will be a much more active fighter at 168 even though he's moving up in weight a lot of people still think he's the strongest fighter in the tournament. Dirrel ive only seen like 4 of his fights truthfully from what I saw hes fast, Doesn't take a good shot well, not the best all around boxer seems to rely almost entirely on his speed I don't think he ready for the step up I think hell waste to much energy with un-necessary movement and hitting Froch in the face a million times only to get worn out and stopped, of course the flip-side of that is Dirrel's able to outbox and is just way to fast for Froch and easily wins a UD that's what makes the tournament interesting but yeah im predicting a Froch KO win. Wards a pretty solid boxer, has good hand speed, lacks power but well rounded though untested from what ive seen. Kessler the favorite of this tournament is all around good he's got a really good jab, pretty good speed, good power, good boxing skills, we know he can handle a real tough pressure fighter from his win over Andrade im not saying that means hell beat Froch should they face eachother just that's he's been in a tough fight and come out on top and there arn't any volume punchers in the tournament so it makes sense he's the favorite. Most all the match up's could go either way and there a bunch of factors no one knows till fight night not to mention 2 of the fighters are un-tested so it's very interesting and the best thing to happen in boxing in a long time.

 

I think that the drama is one of the best parts of the tournament. I do not buy into the myth that thses guys are the best 6 in the division, nor do I think the winner is automatically #1 in the division. However, the tourney is a fantastic idea. We'll see a bunch of really good fights.

 

For those who think these six are the wrong six...WRONG! Allan Green doesn't belong here. Kelly Pavlik is simply scared to be here. Lucian Bute deserves absolutely no mention whatsoever. The six they have chosen were the correct six. I have been very outspoken on this tournament. Why? Because I have seen every one of these fighters fight numerous times, as well as having tape on all of them. People from England think Froch will win simply because he's from England. He is their only decent undefeated fighter, so they are clingling onto him for life. People in Germany? Of course they pick Abraham. Many Americans are unfamiliar with the Andres and, for some reason that I cannot comprehend, pick Taylor. I'm from Northern California, and I am not picking Ward because he is from Northern California, but because he is a complete and highly skilled athletic fighter. If he sucked, believe me, I'd tell you all about it.
