    I do agree with you saying that the Super 6 winner will be the top dog at that particular time in the division, with or without Bute, but that last sentence is just so off with the truth...

    The truth is Bute was never invited at all..not 1 call or 1 little bit of consideration by either SHOWTIME or the Sauerland gang !!

    Have him on your show to clear it up if you need to but don't spread bull**** to make gullible idiots believe just anything their brains are fed.

    This is why I'm about ready to give up boxing. It's my favorite sport, but cmon. 90% of talk is on whether this or that fight will ever happen and who's ducking who. lol, imagine if that happened in any other sport.

    The world cup starts tomorrow. I guess Brazil is the team to beat but they refuse to play Spain cause it's a risky match, so we'll never know. All hail Brazil!

    Boxing should just be 60/40 for the winner in every single fight. Do away with negotiations entirely.

    The Super Six is the best thing to happen to boxing in a long time. The winner will be undisputed champ.

    Agreed.
    Agreed.
    Disagree. While the ref embarrassed himself, the result was the correct one. Bute got up by 9 seconds. The ref, for whatever reason, took 20 seconds to count to 10. It was ridiculous, but Bute finished the fight on his feet(barely) and therefore deserved to win.

    Alright. Fair enough.

    Still seemed like home town officiating and I'm not sure Bute could have even gotten up had the count been legit.

    Bute can fight Dawson. Bute is a big SMW. It's only natural he'll want/need to move up at some point, as will Ward, Dirrell, ect.

    Bute is getting better each fight. I still think Dawson would win. I'm not sure if Ward or Dirrell is better. They'll fight before long though. All four are above anyone else around their weight.

    The Super Six has not been as Super as was expected. Looks to me like it will shorten the careers of all involved. I favor Dawson and Bute over any of them.

    We don't know what Ward has legitimately accomplished considering his ties to Victor Conte.

    Bute will knock Ward out, but he should refuse to fight in Ward's home town. Ward refused to fight in the tournament unless he had "all" his fights in his home town. Ward's referee will help him out as needed against Green.

    Maybe if you just make the effort to count, you would know the answer...

    I'm still waiting for an answer on that one, Rumsfeld.

    Frazier was in a completely different position than Bute is. Frazier was a clear-cut no. 1 HW (after Ali's ousting). At the time the supersix started the no. 1 SMW was Kessler and he is in the tournament. Had Bute been in the supersix instead of Kessler you could have made a valid comparison between Frazier and Kessler.

    I'm pretty sure that Ward has cut ties with Victor Conte. Fortunately.

    That's good considering some of Conte's clients:
