The winner of the Super 6 will more than like;ly be no 1 in the division. If Bute beats Andrade again he won't be champ though.
Who? As in, "Who will the tourney winner need to fight?" I assume that's your question. My answer is that 2011 is a long ways off, and a lot can happen. Hypothetically Bute or Pavlik can both beat Stieglitz, and grab the WBO title. And then fight each other. The tourney winner would have no more claim to the number 1 spot than the winner of Bute/Pavlik. There are also some fairly impessive young guns coming along. Right now, I won't make a pick between Bute and Pavlik, but I am picking Kessler to win the tourney. The boxing world would clamour for Kessler vs either man.
Ye SMW is stacked. But a B Tournament? The market for tournaments is a bit saturated at 168 surely. I can't see them making enough money considering they'd be competing with the super 6. Maybe if a name like Pavlik was on board it'd do big business, but considering the way he belittled the tournament idea when the super 6 was first anounced he's probably unlikely to do it. It just doesn't make good business sense to have a SMW tournament mark 2 running simultaneously with the super 6, stop me if I'm wrong.
Remind me again how technical Margarito is? More so that it was only his slow start lost him the fight against Williams. Yes yes I am sure Williams will dominate a natural 160 like Pavlik. Win perhaps yes but dominate? Ha ha ha! Stupid.
I don't consider it stacked on the basis that I think Joe C beats all of these guys without much effort. I consider it one of the more competitive divisions, because you don't have a Klitshcko/Mayweather who owns the division to the point that the good fighters are dominated by the great. I also see Kessler as a cut above those in that division.
