THE MOMENT HAS COME...

[armageto]

I think you meant five consecutive weeks?

Benny Leonard was the millionaire dollar champion, no?

I think the top 6 guys are pretty straight forward this year, definitely the top 5 at least.

[Tomasino]

The top six as it stands just now seem to be the best men in the division. Gans hasn't had much success against any of them expect Pea.

[Crease]

I think you meant five consecutive weeks?

Indeed.

Benny Leonard was the millionaire dollar champion, no?

Indeed. WTF was I thinking?

I think the top 6 guys are pretty straight forward this year, definitely the top 5 at least.

Agreed. Leonard (already in), Duran, Armstrong, Whitaker, Mayweather are all getting a vote from me. I'm not sure who I'd give my final vote to yet.

[DaveyMac]

I think I'd give the 6th spot to Barney Ross.

[Crease]

And so our Super Six have been decided... Some incredible fighters in this tournament, it's gonna be a helluva show.

[BoxBully]

Well this should be interesting. Even though i missed the vote, I pretty much had the same 1-5 in mind with the exception that Canzoneri be in 6th. I really think he should have been seriously considered having been a multiple title holder and all that. I guess he just fell short by a small margin, maybe tied between him Chavez(2xWBO), Ross(1xWBO & 1xWBC) and maybe Gans(2xWBC). Canzoneri(2xWBO &1xIBO) I thought just having that extra might have given him the edge. Its too bad he had to get 4 draws in a row right around that critical time before the voting

oh well whatevs. Thank you FOL for voting for Camacho(1xWBO & 1xIBO) he sure had some quircky luck this season however, we all know he wouldnt do much damage to the top 5 but then again, with some of the weird things that happened like getting a Split Decision over Barney Ross for the WBO Title and getting a Split Decision over Benny Leonard after a headbutt cut, he might have pulled an upset or two
Lol thats 2 of the Super Six that Macho has wins over

Updated after our second round of fights...

[Crease]

3 weeks in and it's now as close as ever!

[Crease]

................................F........W.....D.......L.........
Floyd Mayweather Jr.......4........2......1.......1.........
Barney Ross..................4........2......1.......1.........
Roberto Duran...............4........1......3.......0........
Henry Armstrong............4........1......2.......1........
Benny Leonard..............4........1.......2......1.........
Pernell Whitaker............4........0......1.......3.........

Entering the final week of competition and it looks as close as ever. Five men could still mathematically finish top of the League.

[DaveyMac]

I don't think so, I think because of Duran v Mayweather that only Floyd, Duran or Ross can win

[Crease]

After a tournament of incredible quality and outrageous drama, here is our final standings:

................................F........W.....D.......L.........
Roberto Duran...............5........2......3.......0........
Henry Armstrong............5........2......2.......1........
Barney Ross..................5........2......1.......2.........
Floyd Mayweather Jr.......5........2......1.......2.........
Benny Leonard..............5........1.......3......1.........
Pernell Whitaker............5........0......2.......3.........

Barney Ross claims a respectable Bronze Medal (by virtue of his SD head-to-head victory over Floyd) and walks out of the tournament proudly with a neutral record.

Homicide Hank takes the Silver Medal having drawn with the tournament winner and coming out of it with a positive winning record.

And our Super Six Champion this season is Roberto Duran who (unbelievably) fought all of this best competitors and carries an unbeaten record - as well as regaining the Lonsdale Belt and winning the Undisputed World Title back.

WHAT A YEAR!
WHAT A FINISH!

And this magnificent Prize goes to Armageto's stable:





All Hail King Roberto I - the greatest of them all.

[armageto]

My first time ever winning the Super Six. Great season for Duran, and others like Armstrong, etc.

Glad Ross showed well. A few people questioned him being in the last spot and he brings home the Bronze.
