Jonhson v Green is on super six November 6th

[Rantcatrat]

That has nothing to do with it. Dirrell has fought the guys allotted to him - all among the very best in the world. Johnson was NEVER even part of the super six until this week. He gets the WORST fighter in the comp and should he win goes into the semi's? That is complete and utter bullshit.

Taylor was one of the favourites to win the whole competition, the majority of this forum picked him to beat Abraham. Ward beat Miranda easily whereas Green was beaten easily - stinking the joint out in the process. Dirrell was unbeaten.

Green was a rubbish addition that brought nothing to this comp. The only reason he got in is because Lou Dibella was Taylor's promoter.

The only reason I'm arguing this point is that I have no real interest in seeing Dirrell make it to the semi's. Of course, I'll be the first to agree he should be there if he beats Ward though.

First facts straight, only a KO win gets Johnson or Green into the semi-finals.

Second, Abraham is relying on his 3 points from his KO of the worst fighter entering the tournament to make it to the next round - Taylor actually retired after that fight. I'm sorry I was not among those who thought Taylor would beat Abraham. And to say he was a favorite is ludicrous. Kessler was by far and away the favorite and Abraham was thought to be the runner up. I would venture to say next was Froch and then Ward. Taylor was the weakest link. He was only included for name value. How could he have been the favorite after Froch, a competitor in the tournament, knocked him out previously? That's nonsensical.

Third, what has Dirrell done with his chances he's been given to advance and to build his reputation from this tournament? Seriously. Name something...oh wait, I get your point, he actually showed up to those fights. I guess in a weird way that is something.

Fourth, would you rather see Dirrell or Johnson fight Froch/Abraham in the next round?

Fifth, explain to me how Green was a worse inclusion than Dirrell? Because Dirrell was undefeated? Really? Come on, man. There really isn't anything different between Dirrell and Green's resume.

My point basically is that at this point Dirrell is unquestionably the least desirable person of the remaining original four. There was always going to be tiers to the competition. Without Bute, it was unavoidable. If there is going to be a bottom tier, I'd prefer to see a fight with Glen Johnson than Andre Dirrell.

Lastly, this fight is in one month. November 6th. It doesn't put off th rest of the tournament very much.
