Thread: Super 6 Hypothetical Mulligan

Let's try to make a do-over, knowing what we know now (that Taylor would retire, Dirrell would have some sort of brain issue, and Kessler would get injured)....who would the best opponents be to replace those fighters, where would the fights be held, and what would be the final outcome of the tourney if YOU were the promoter/manager and could do whatever the hell you wanted to make the Super 6 the best it could be.

My hypothetical matchups are as follows....

Ward vsPeter Quillin

Pavlik vs Bute

Froch vs Abraham

....I'll give the details of what I think would happen later

Peter Quillin is kind of out of left field. That dude isn't ready for someone like Sakio Bika much less Andre Ward. If you want a young fast American, get a guy more seasoned like Marcus Johnson. Quillin wouldn't last but 4 or 5 rounds with any of the guys in the tournament and to put him in with Ward would probably fuck his mind over.

Quillin is green I give you that but I'd rather have him or a young fighter like him in the tourney than say Bernard Hopkins or Edison Miranda.

Ward
Bute
Pavlik
Froch
Abraham
Glen Johnson

possibly Sergio Martinez or PW, didnt PW want to fight Pavlik at Super middle?
Have all the fights occur on the same night, with pre determined dates for the rounds. If fighters cant make fights they forfeit the points.
Locations are the tricky part, I would prefer one venue, like MSG or MGM, but the euros would bitch home cooking, so thats the trickiest part, maybe first round in us, the second europe, third a neutral spot.
The super six hasnt turned out to be that super, but at least we got to see them actually fight each other rather than the stagnant crap that was before.

The locations are very tricky, you don't want to abandon fan bases but you also don't want judging and refereeing that's swayed by the crowd.
