Instead of picking an ameribum (green) to make it 3 americans - 3 euros , bika should of been in the tourney!! Alot of fighters get stick for being limited like bika and froch but atleast they give more than 50% Green showed nothing! Discuss.
:scaredas: Bika over Bute? Just because he troubled Calzaghe doesn't mean he's warranted for the Super Six.
Didn't bika refuse to fight Green for the right to get in? I might be wrong, but that is what I remember hearing.
I definitely think Bika should have been in this tournament instead of Green. Originally Green and Bika were supposed to fight for the right to enter the tournament. Bika backed out apparently and Green was granted a free pass into the Super Six.
Taylor was a good choice. Andrade and Bute should've rounded it out to make it the super 8. Their rematch could've been one of the first round fights. It would've brought in the Mexicans and the Canadians (like anyone cares about us but like it or not Montreal is one of the best fight cities in the world right now) Also, its still USA vs Europe cause Andrade is kind of Mexican-American and Bute is european. Bika should've replaced Taylor instead of Green though.
Bute for Green/Taylor and this tourney would have been perfect and would involve the top 6 super middleweights.
Ofcourse bute would be first choice, but if bute really wanted to proove himself as the best in the world like the rest in the tournament he would of signed up straight away and dont say its about $$ because you had the best SMW champions at the time signing up within seconds wanting to proove themselves so there must of been big money for them wanting to risk their 0's and belts. And what has green done? Bika can give anyone hell on his day and doesnt quit same cant be said of green he just gives up, basically he was only picked because he was american and they wanted 3 Americans vs 3 Euros :thumbsup
Kessler is beyond overrated and I fully understand why, being the biggest name in Calzaghe's record if any insult goes there it's in a nail in the coffin. Anyway, Kessler is beyond overrated, the man is good but as basic as it gets and I wouldn't be surprised at all if Green beats him or gives him a tough fight.
It is not clear that Bika refuse to fight Green. I heard more of Showtime decided to go unlaterally with Grenn, maybe because it was saving time or maybe they had other raisons...Since more than one year, Bika is searching desperately to fight but because of his ugly style, many avoid him ( maybe Showtime avoided him too)
