    I don't know. I haven't given up on Pavlik and the weight may suit him.

    I could see an upset in most people eyes here.

    Being that Kessler is not nearly what he once was, Dirrell and Ward are definitely the top two fighters in the Super 6. Bute looks to be on the same level. Winner should be fighting Bute. If Ward beats Dirrell convincingly he deserves number one status though. But Bute could face of with someone like Dawson. If he were able to beat him he'd be top dog IMO.

    Thats all assuming that Ward or Dirrell win the super6 which is far from certain.

    I mean what if Green bangs out Ward then Ward beats Dirrell?

    Yeah, anything can happen. I'd rather see Dirrell win it as opposed to Ward. But you're right, neither may win it. I kind of would like to see Green land something huge on Ward and take him out, but he definitely is not the same level boxing wise.

    A punch goes a long way!!!

    I would love to see Green win that one. He seems like a nice guy. I've done a U-turn on him coz I was down on him due to the fact I thought Bika would have been a tough fight for him to win.

    What about RJJ?

    We still don't know how the super 6 will end. Imagine if Ward loses against Dirrell, and Froch wins against Abraham. Then, if Ward wins the whole thing, that means Dirrell would be out of the tournament but would have won against the winner. More, his only loss, against Froch, is questionable.

    The tournament may not crown a real champion. That's a possibility.

    I think Bute is a great fighter, but to praise him, because he haven't fought/lost vs. top opponents (super six) is a bit odd to me. Bute still has to prove himself imo..................

    Odd? Seems to me that many don't understand that Bute is being praised because of his potential, future perspectives and not because of his acomplishments so far.
    A real "spot on" would be that Ward is in the exact same position as Bute: perspective tops acomplishments.

    If I understand you, every boxer is tailor made for Bute, except Dirrell and Ward. In case you haven't noticed, they are not available for the moment.
