4) The Rise of Lucian Bute

When the Super Six was born, the IBF titlist Bute was missing. There has never been a great explanation as to why more was not done to include him. He was easily already one of the division’s top three. His performances outside the Super Six raised his esteem with Bute going 5-0 while the tournament unfolded. His rematch win over Librado Andrade, knockout of Edison Miranda, and lopsided decision over Glen Johnson following Johnson’s semi-final loss to Froch make him the shadow over the field. No matter who wins Ward-Froch, Bute looms. His exclusion ultimately gives the division its future. If Ward-Froch is a great fight, there could be a call for a rematch along with a call to see the winner face Bute. The round robin need not be over and the massive crowds Bute pulls in Montreal play into a selling point the Super Six has had all along. The Super Six has given us…

****************

I don't think Bute will be fighting anyone ranked lower than top 5 (including a comebacking Dre Dirrell) in NYC this spring.

 

Yeah sure, what a ****ing boss :yep:yep:yep

He should take the loser of the final first (Ward) while Carl avenges his only loss against Kessler. If he wins, then he could meet Carl in Nottingham. :hat
