I always say the super 6 was one of the best things that ever happened to boxing. It often gets overlooked, because fans were too impatient, They said it took too long to declare a winner. I’m like so what? Ward won and then what happened? Nothing boxing goes back to the usual handpick bull shyt.

That logic never made sense to me. Getting solid matchmaking was always more important then the winner IMO.

It’s like y’all really prefer the usual marinating shyt over a round robin tournament?

If I put together a super six of Haney, Teo, Ryan, Tank, Shakur, & Loma, who gives a fukk how long it takes to declare a winner? Just enjoy the fights back to back & even if there’s a scenario where a guy drops out, and a backup has to come in, it’s fine. It’s still better then the shyt we are getting now.

Super 6 was great...I loved it...the round Robin was the biggest knock against it. Because nikkas got knocked out of it or left prematurely. 168 has never been the same since that tournament.

The world boxing super series got it down though.

I mean they tried to keep it going with the World Boxing Super Series, but politics gets in the way of being able to do it on a regular basis. I've been said the 4 sanctioning bodies aren't the problem, I like the idea actually it's the promoters who fukk everything up.

The round robin is the best thing about it.

If the guys I mentioned were set up to fight each other the next 3 years, what’s the problem? Even if guys were to drop out it’s still better then what we normally get, correct?

World boxing series is just single elimination. Sure it’s fine if you’re looking to crown the best guy. I’m more interested in consistently good fights. Round robin is preferred to get the best fights for a longer duration.

the only classic fight it produced was froch vs kessler 1

Cmon Pat listen to what you’re saying

The super 6 produced entertaining fights. Anything beyond that is a bonus. “Classic “ fights are far from the norm anyway. If you’re expecting timeless fights from a tournament or in general, then your expectations are way too high. How often do you even see a "classic" fight?

Just think about it, if there wasn’t the super six, what’s the alternative?

Instead of guys like Ward and Dirrell thrown right into the action, they would probably be in underwhelming fights trying to get a big fight. Typical boxing politics

Guys like Kessler continue to fight hand picked guys until he gets a big fight.

I guarantee Andre Ward continues to develop and becomes a ducked high risk/low reward fighter if not for that tournament. He was still seen as green at the time when in reality he was ready.

Facts
the Bantam Tourney Showtime did was better, cuz damn near every fight was good between Perez, Vic, Mares, Agbeko, etc...

I don't fukk with Bantamweight. It's 135 and up.

126 & 130 have to really be hot for me to follow those divisions, like back in the day

It eliminated the round robin and points shyt that made super 6 convoluted by saying if you lost you're in a consolation fight plus it was 4 so you can do it with that number much easier. And yes it produced some damn good fights without it being drawn out.
