Haven't been on much, so this may be old news to you guys, but Sauerland is putting this together, based on the Showtime SMW S6.
The listed entries are
Marco Huck (WBO Champ)
Krzysztof Wlodarczyk (WBC Champ)
Steve Cunningham (IBF Champ)
Denis Lebedev
Yoan Pablo Hernandez
and one more yet to be announced. (Trying to get one of the WBA champs I believe)
Huck will be the first fight in the tournament and it should start in December.
i'd say Cunningham has to be the favoriteQuote:

agreed, but like i said Cunnigham has to be the favorite, he's a solid fighter, and entertaining when he wants to be, so at least he can unify by cleaning up the rest of the garbage at CruiserweightQuote:

It'll be a Cunningham - Huck rematch in the final.
I wasn't saying there is better Cruiserweights, I was saying it is a crap division with them 5 and another one not that good in reality and this is Deffo not a " super six " nothing super about it. 200lb division is one of the weakest out there.Quote:

I actually disagree with this to be honest. Cunningham has already beat most of the guys in it, but Huck isn't all that bad and either is the Polish guy with the unpronounceable name. Lebdedev (sp?) has a huge punch too. It could be interesting.Quote:

The fight I want to see is Lebdevev v Huck I think Leb is his mandatory that would be a great dust up.

Was the Huck/Cunningham fight a close one? Or blowout?
Leb v. Huck would be a barn burner with someone ending up on the canvas.
Where is Enzo Maccarinelli, somebody told me he was "World Class" ;D
I used to be a fan of his until Chicken Little destroyed him in three rounds. ;DQuote:

Huck Cunningham was very close, going into the last round both guys were looking for the stoppage.
Here's a video of round 12, round 11 ended with Huck mounting a strong offensive.

Are there even six cruisers out there that can even be called super ??
It's a relative term, at least with the guys they're getting there is no leftover Bute like in the current super 6.Quote:

Win TKO 3rd round Mark Krence 3/20/10

Koloziej has overtaken BJ "The People's Favorite" Flores I'm assuming because it's been over a year since he's fought.
he has no fight scheduled to take place any time soon either....now only if he'd talk a bunch of shit about different fighters in his division ;)
Apart from Wlodarczyk, there are 2 young Polish cruiserweights who I'm convinced would do better than Wlodarczyk in the Super Six:
Pawel Kolodziej (Pawel Kolodziej - Boxer)
Mateusz Masternak (Mateusz Masternak - Boxer)
Kolodziej is trained by the same guy who trains Wlodarczyk so I guess he is out. Masternak is trained by former Adamek trainer. The problem with him is that his promotor hasn't been able to put out enough $ to bring him worthy oponents. Other than that he is more prospective than Adamek his age.
Just saying it would be mega super cool if either of them be picked, given that the confirmed (or almost confirmed) names aren't very exciting and that they already fought each other (even twice, like Wlodarczyk - Cunningham), don't hope it will happen.
a super six would be nuts. steve, marco, and krystof are all well conditioned fighters who fight their own particular style well. they can all hit and get hit. id pay to see any of these three guys fight each other. when steve and marco fought... it looked like war for 12 rds. krystof is a little slow but he can go 12 rds, take a beating, and when he does hit, then its a solid punch for sure.
I actually rate Wlodarczyk as a pretty solid fighter. I saw his fight with Cunningham and I thought he equipped himself well against the best of the division. He is pretty athletic. A match between him and Huck/Lebedev would be good.Quote:
