Arthur Abraham vs. Carl Froch will be the best fight of the Super Six

                    Sergio Martinez might not have many options at middleweight, but super middleweight remains perhaps the most loaded division in boxing.Two of those top 168-pound boxers will attempt to rebound from losses when Carl Froch fights Arthur Abraham on Saturday night in Group Stage 3 of Showtime's "Super Six World Boxing Classic."

                The Armenian-born Abraham (31-1, 25 KOs) was disqualified during the 11th round of his March 27 fight against Andre Dirrell (19-1, 13 KOs), whom Abraham hit with a bout-ending punch when Dirrell was on one knee.

                 England's Froch (26-1, 20 KOs) was very competitive against Mikkel Kessler (43-2, 32 KOs) on April 24, but Kessler won a unanimous decision in his native Denmark.

              I'm not trying to disrespect Arthur at all when I say this," Froch said, "but if I was to have gotten beaten as badly as he got beaten for 11 rounds [against Dirrell], then I'd be worried.

                  "I'd be mentally dejected. Not only did he get beaten and out-classed, but he got beaten and outclassed by a guy that I previously beat. So that's got to have him worried and cause him concern."
The delayed broadcast of the Abraham-Froch fight from Helsinki, Finland, will begin Showtime's doubleheader at 9 p.m.

                  TRIPLE THREAT: Showtime's strong doubleheader will partially compete with an HBO "World Championship Boxing" tripleheader Saturday night from MGM Grand in Las Vegas.Mexico's Juan Manuel Marquez (51-5-1, 37 KOs) and Australia's Michael Katsidis (27-2, 22 KOs) will square off in the 12-round main event for Marquez's WBA and WBO lightweight titles. The co-featured fight will match Andre Berto (26-0, 21 KOs), of Winter Haven, Fla., against Mexico's Freddy Hernandez (29-1, 20 KOs), the mandatory challenger for Berto's WBC welterweight title.

                    The tripleheader will begin at 9:45 p.m., with a 10-round featherweight fight that'll pit Panama's Celestino Caballero (34-2, 23 KOs) against Jason Litzau (27-2, 21 KOs), of St. Paul, Minn. MAYWEATHER'S MESS: While we all want to see Manny Pacquiao fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. as soon as possible, maybe Mayweather should take some time to rectify whatever's wrong with his personal life before figuring out if he really wants to test himself against Pacquiao.

                   It seems as though Mayweather (41-0, 25 KOs), arguably the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world, can't go a week without getting into some sort of trouble. His pattern of self-destructive behavior has become disturbing, especially from a man trying to raise four children.That said, HBO Sports president Ross Greenburg shouldn't concede to Mayweather's inevitable inquiry about fighting someone other than Pacquiao (52-3-2, 38 KOs) early in 2011. Because when Mayweather's money starts running low — and it will once he's finished paying attorneys' fees — he will need to fight again, regardless of whether he wants to do so.
