    You're attitude is why good ideas don't last in boxing.

    Why dont we just say if we are gonna have a fair non-biased competition such as this we will hold every single fight in neutral venues thus ensuring that the real winner will provail every time

    the current super 6 reads;
    ward 3
    abraham 3
    Froch 2
    kessler 2
    Dirrell 2
    green 0

    had the results of been fair it would now read:

    abraham 5
    froch 4
    kessler 2
    ward 0
    green 0
    dirrell 0

    see how the american thing comes into play
    First, Ward only has 2 points, not 3.

    You are wrong about two things. One, the pre-tournmanet favorite was Kessler, not Froch. Go back and check the odds. Kessler was the most marketable and well-known (other than Taylor) fighter going into the tournament.

    Second, the toughest schedule is by far that of the Americans, Taylor/Green, with fights against the three toughest challengers and all on their opponent's turf. Taylor/Green fights Abraham (in Germany)/Ward (in Oakland)/Kessler (in Denmark), which is tougher than Froch's Dirrell (In Nottingham), Kessler (Denmark), Abraham (in Neutral Territory).

    Third, Abraham had the weakest schedule with Taylor (in Germany)/Dirrell (In Michigan)/Froch(in Neutral Territory).

    Lastly, either way you look at it, the Froch-Dirrell fight was very close. Yet, Froch got the win!! If this was some American Showtime conspiracy, Dirrell would have got a win in a close fight. Correct?

    Showtime is in this for profit. Do you really think Ward/Dirrell are the most profitable fighters in the tournament? By far, the two most profitable fighters in the tournament are Kessler and Abraham. It's not even close.

    One more thing, You don't think Abraham should have been DQ'd?

    If there is anything conspiratorial in this tournament, it is that the hometown fighter wins every time.
