    WBA has a 6 tournament lined up for Joshua , Klitschko, Oritz, Ustinov , Briggs ,
    Fres Oquendo.
    Who would you like to see in modern hw Super 6 post 1980 ? In prime.
    For me Mercer ,Weaver, Cooney, Bruno , Ruddock, Douglas.
    What about old time hw Super 6 pre 1980 ? In prime.

    I liked the super six. Not sure who would win today. Wlad is old, and the others either old ( Ortiz, Briggs, Oquendo ) or untested. I'd take Briggs and Oquendo out. The do not advance unless they fight each other first.

    I think it would come down to Wlad vs. Joshua. We'll see what happens in April 2017.
