    Apologies if this has already been done.
    From the recent WBSS series which had the following boxers in it :

    Jürgen Brähmer
    Robert Brant
    Jamie Cox
    Chris Eubank Jr
    George Groves
    Erik Skoglund
    Callum Smith
    Avni Yıldırım

    How many of the WBSS boxers from above would beat any of the Super Six boxers which to remind you were :

    Andre Ward
    Carl Froch
    Arthur Abraham
    Glen Johnson
    Jermain Taylor
    Mikkel Kessler
    Andre Dirrell
    Allan Green

    Honestly IMO Groves, Smith and Eubank Jr would have beat Allan Green and maybe Glen Johnson but would have been schooled by the others. The difference in talent and class between the two tournaments is huge.

    Super Six was special with that talent pool that easily pisses on the above. But the CW WBSS had all the talent for all the titles, no favoritism, barely any controversy or pull-out, extremely streamlined and well organized. The BW one can even top that, and straight elimination works much better.

    There is no WBSS without S6 though, great blueprint.
