    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 - he 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 to advance? 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.

    Rant you serious? Mate even at the start of this when Dirrell had not fought anyone, Green had already been exposed by shite banger Miranda, but we now have the luxury of seeing how this event has gone, and I think at least 60/70% of the boxing public would put Dirrells fight with Froch down as robbery of the year last year ( he held his own in there either way with the WBC Champ at the time )

    He then won a disputed DQ against AA, who was coming on strong but Dirrell was ahead comfrotably on all cards, now Dirrell has shown he is world class and can hang with the top boys of the division.

    Green on the other hand has fought a fringe top ten fighter ( Miranda ) and lost then stepped it up in this event and put on the worst perfromance of 2010 so far for me against Ward, so his two showings at world level have shown he is utter shite and should not of been in this event. Dirrell got in this on the back of hype and an unbeaton record and so far has justified his inclusion, maybe not on style ( not to everyones liking ) but has poved he belongs at world level. Green has shown he belongs headlining espn Wednesday fight nights in some school gym.

    I think that is what Fenster is getting at and now Johnson has an unfair advantage of coming in and fighting one fight and the worst fighter by some distance in most peoples book with the chance of making the semi finals?

    While everyone else have had to fight three fights against solid opponents, again I agree with Fenster and if I was the likes of Froch,AA and Dirrell I would be kicking up a fuss about this.
    I just disagree. You put down Green's resume and I agree, it isn't very impressive, there really isn'y much to argue about there, but Dirrell hadn't done anything to deserve the super six either . He was included because they needed another american. Dirrell didn't even have a Miranda-level opponent on his resume before the super six. And now what does he have, a DQ win over Abraham? He held his own against Froch? Really? He ran from Froch all night. I'm not sure how that is holding his own against top competition. Plus it was a horrible display of fighting. It was not fun to watch at all.

    I can understand you think Johnson has unfair advantage coming into this, but I don't see how that applies to Green. If anything, Green has more of a right to be mad than Dirrell or Froch. They were given three chances to progress whereas he was given two and in his first fight he faced Ward at Ward's home. Plus, now he has to knock out the unknockoutable' Glen Johnson to advance. In retrospect, I'm sure everyone would have loved to fight Taylor on their home turf in their first fight. At the end of the day, I'm just not too upset about seeing Dirrell go. But, you are, and fair enough.
