Because he knocks out the best the Super Middleweights in the world, he knows the Super Six is full of bums and would rather face tough opposition like Jesse the snake Brinkley.
If Green, bika and Johnson are part of the elite of the division, I guess Bute has an excellent resume.
He has one of the best bases i've seen on a southpaw at that weight,balance and timing as well as accuracy and power,wicked body shots too
Part of rating guys has to do with opposition and part of it has to do with talent. When combining the 2, Bute is rightfully rated amongst the best 4 Super Middleweights in the world. Anyone claiming otherwise is blind or a hater with an agenda. Why was Roy Jones rated P4P best for years after facing what many simply call janitors, cops & plumbers ? If we would only take his opposition into consideration after the Toney fight to rate him, he might not have been rated as high P4P for so many years obviously... Very little people claim Bute's the best but most rightfully say he's one of the best at 168lbs, that's all !!
Because being in the Super 6 means you were chosen based on being either American or accepted by Sauerland Promotions
Being in the S6 give's you the chances to get your career back on track even if you lost 2 fights on a row in the stage group. So what's so brave about it ? You even got the safety of 3 big $$ fights win or lose. So I'm asking you again what's so brave about it? Like it's Bute's fault cuz Ken didn't had enough brain to invite what was then the #2 Super Middleweight
Your acting like those who join the super six have such big balls and Bute is scared of fighting some1 with a pulse. But you don't have enough brain to think that because of Super Six there isn't left 1 single good opponent at 168 who Bute didn't offered a fight to or defeated already.
Kessler had no scheduled sparring partner when he arrived in Oakland. He also had no southpaw sparring partner during his camp. Why? Do you really think his team is that stupid? Do you think Kessler was the same man against Ward that he was against Calzaghe? Why? He just quit the super six because he has eye problems. He said he had those problems before the Ward fight. Kessler is not a bullshitter. You're the one who doesn't trust him. You're the one who has to prove your point. I'm waiting.
