    ...possibly eliminated ones, you think would be more than willing to face Lucian Bute right away in their next fight ?

    Andre Ward is already qualified for the semis, so he can't count here.

    That leaves potentially : Green, Kessler, Abraham, Froch and Dirrell as being eliminated.

    I personally think Green & Abraham will be eliminated.

    Out of those 2, Bute's management already has some sort of work relationship with the eldest Sauerland, so I think a Bute-Abraham fight has better odds of being made early 2011, than a Green-Bute fight, considering Green already brushed off a Bute fight twice in the past and he will be coming off 2 straight losses, probably wanting an easier bout at home.

    I think the Bute-Abraham bout, if made, just might land in Germany cause "Interbox", which is Bute's promotional company, still owe a local fight to Sauerland from a past agreement.


    So first, who's eliminated ? Then who do you see him fighting first between the two ?

    or would Hopkins be as good or better a fight for Bute, than any eliminated guy from the Super 6 ?

    Dirrell and Green will be eliminated.

    Its sad, but thats what will happen simply because of how they are matched up.
    Nevertheless, Ward-Dirrell should be a good fight.

    Abraham will ko Froch IMO.

    So I am guessing its gonna be Dirrell or Green fighting Bute, if they take on this fight.

    If Green loses to Kessler he will move up to LHW

    If Dirrell loses to Ward, he might take Bute but probably not in Canada.

    Dirrell and Green get eliminated leaving:

    Tournament 1:
    Ward (WBA)
    Kessler (WBC)
    Froch
    Abraham

    Tournament 2:
    Bute (IBF)
    Steilglitz (WBO)
    Green/Taylor

    Winner of Tournament 1 vs Winner of Tournament 2 = SMW Champion
