    OK, so if Hopkins beats Pascal...could we get a B-Hop vs. Bute fight ?

    Isn't B-Hop Golden Boy/HBO? So, that won't work.

    Maybe come up to 175 and fight Glen Johnson after Johnson beats Green on pts, but is eliminated from the S6 because his score is too low...

    That would be a big draw. Bute vs. Johnson

    Bute vs. Hopkins/Pascal winner

    Bute vs. Kessler next spring/summer

    Bute vs. S6 winner

    Bute vs. Robert Stieglitz ???

    There are some guys in there that have fought some hard fights. You can't bring a guy of his skills that can win the tournament because it will start a fuss around the participants, especially against a opponent as Green. Before dirrell pulled out when Johnson joined instead of Kessler Bute ko'ing Green could've left the loser of Froch Abraham outside the tournament.

    Super 6 needs a boost and Bute will add some class. He shouldve been in the tourney from the beginning.

    A fighter like Bute's caliber could simply say "I want to join the Super Six" and he would be in. He's never even stated he wants in the Super Six publicly, because him and his handlers don't want him in there, they want to cash out on this guy. They have room for Glen Johnson but not Lucian Bute, give me a break, the only argument you have is the Super Six gurus don't want Bute in because he would beat everyone and conquer the world, which is laughable.

    By your logic he can say " I want Ward" and that means his next fight will be against Ward.
    :patsch

    I disagree here cause I think they want as much if not more than anyone else to see Bute fight the best at 168lbs. HBO can't help unless he moves up to 175 and they always wanted to settle their business at 168 lbs before anything else.

    I actually think now that SHOWTIME is interested in Bute because they can smell the big bucks coming from Montreal... Money changes everything as usual...

    Maybe you should ask yourself...why are they signing a guy that hasn't fought at 168lbs in a long time ? Does being American ring a bell ? Up to this point, that was the motive !

    Things may change cause Bute & Montreal bring the money !!!

    If he goes into the Super Six he would fight Ward eventually, you're a wise one. "I want Ward" = join super six= you get ward.

    Let me rephrase it for your understanding . If you start shouting out that you wanna go to a playboy party that doesn't mean they want you there automatically want you there and they trow you an invitation.

    Wow this would be fairly class, get him in there, get a few fights to round up and finish this tournament.
