Crap line up that in truth only reason it is going ahead cos there all under the German umbrella, I reckon the last one will be the fella who is fighting Enzo Mac on sept 18th if he wins as he again is another one under the same promotion team.

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.

Exactly mate Cunningham has already beat most of them including Huck.

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

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.

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 ??

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.

I mean honestly it's about the best thing that can happen in this division.

Here's the fights we've had for the Ring's top 10 in the last year, which for the sake of argument we can consider the field for the movers and shakers of the division. There are indeed some good fights to be had here.

Win TKO 5th round Troy Ross 6/5/10

2. Marco Huck 5-0 (3 KOs)

5 fights:

Win UD Victor Emilio Ramirez 8/29/09

3. Krzysztof Wlodarczyk 2-0 (1 KO)

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.
