Who do you think should replace Taylor in Super Six?

If Jermain Taylor decides to retire from boxing after being knocked cold by Arthur Abraham last Saturday night, who should replace him in the Super Six tournament? If you picked "Other," then list the fighter you want as a replacement.

I am on the Mobile phone so I can't see the poll, but calzaghe,hopkins,allen green,chad dawson and pavlick would all make it interesting. Don't think any but green have any shot of entering unfortunately.

ok, now that i have seen the poll, i would like to see paul williams in it but at that weight, he is no longer the freak that he is at 140-154. most of the guys in this tournament are around 6ft and are true super middleweights with good power, and the one guy who moved up may be the strongest guy of them all.

Pavlick has already shown that a really slick boxer gives him trouble and he has been rocked a few times as well, I dont think he could beat abraham or kessler personally.

calzaghe would have been great, he beat kessler, froch tried calling him out numerous times, abraham would have to walk through 1000 punches for his chance to ko joe, interesting matchup.

Chad Dawson would be my pick to enter this, he is the light heavy champ, has usa name recognition, said he would come down to 168 to make a fight if need be, he is big and strong, but can he handle some of the slicker boxers in this tourney? He has a fight coming up with Glenn Johnson so I doubt he is in any way thinking of getting involved in this tourney.

Bhop would be awesome as well but obviously he is pretty much done except for the *** whoopin he gives roy early next year. But I wouldn't put it past this guy to jump in with these young studs.

Just my 2 cents, I dont know, I really don't care for the points system of this tournament, would rather have seen an 8 man double or single elimination bracket style tournament myself.

Paul has not fought at this weight.

Cal is retired, Bhop isn't at that weight, Pavlik would not last. Green is the choice.
