I think Showtime want Edison Miranda to be the replacement. He's just joined Joe Goossen incidently. Don't know how Miranda would feel about joining a tournament after it's started with zero points?

there are rumours of a box-off between Miranda, Allan Green and Jesse Brinkley. Brinkley?! Oh dear.

I think Sakio Bika would be better then all three. Miranda will get beaten by Ward again and Kessler will beat him too.

Oh blimey, Brinkley doesn't want to get himself involved with this tournament. Infact if he did he would disrupt proceedings because he would simply be viewed by ever other fighter in the tournament as a free 'gimme' 3 points. And they'd argue about the importance of the draw. And then bitch about the lucky bastard that drew Brinkley and complain at the validity of where the tournament is going.

Him simply being involved would cause disruption.

Well I'm assuming the next two rounds would stay the same and the fighter replacing Taylor would have his fights.

That would be Ward and then Kessler. To me, it's only Miranda and Bika that should be considered. I think both of them would lose to both Ward and Kessler.

Sakio Bika deserves to be in super 6. He's one tough and very exciting boxer and could actually beat anyone out there. Unfortunatelly I think they will pick Allan Green to replace Taylor.

I hope Taylor takes himself out of the tournament. I cringe watching his fights now, waiting for the late round KO. The concussion is a sure warning sign - hang 'em up.
