    HAHAHA

    That would mean there are only 3 origonal super 6 fighters left now wouldn't it?

    The whole thing has become a disaster.

    I would hardly call it a disaster, especially for the fans. It made some of the better fighers get in the ring and fight. I wish all weight divisions would have a tournament.

    Behave. On paper it was a good idea. The execution hasn't worked. and to be fair that's been down to fighters pulling out for one reason or another.

    I actually forgot Dirrell pulled out.

    True, the execution hasn't been good due to pull-outs. They seemed to have learned from it with the Bantamweight tourney, a 4 man straight knockout tournament seems much more workable. It has given us some good fights and interesting style match-ups, and we could still have some more with Froch-Johnson and the winner against Ward.

    Looked like he made that call half way through the Froch fight to me. Guys like Johnson fight all out to take spot and a supposed favorite tucks tail because he can't take it. Dint let the door hit your ass!

    If you were AA, and you'd just taken the kind of beating he took at the hands of Froch, and to be completely outclassed as he was, you wouldn't be too eager to get back in the ring against the same guy again, another beating like that and he might not even want to come back again.

    Froch v Ward as the final, and let's move on to simpler tournament set-ups for the future I think!

    nope it would only be 2, Froch and Ward

    it started out

    Andre Ward
    Andre Dirrell
    Carl Froch
    Arthur Abraham
    Mikel Kessler
    Jermain Taylor

    first Taylor resigned, then they brought in Green, then Kessler pulled out and they brought in Johnson, then Dirrell bitched out and they left it at 5, if Abraham really has pulled out then it's only the Super 4, 2 of the guys having been in the tourney from the beginning, overall i'd say it's been a pretty big letdown

    Am I the first person to ask for a source

    I've seen nothing on the web apart from forum rumours that he's quitting, so I suspect he'll stay in. He has a puncher's chance against Ward, but he'll make more money from this fight then he would elsewhere right now.
