What if AA drops out of the super six, and is replaced by Bute?

    yeah would be good for the tournament. but i cant see it happening, I think abraham should take a chance against ward. he could beat ward if he was more cautious. and put more pressure on.

    Ward is going to really do a number on AA.

    If Froch can consitently make him miss and show faster hands, Ward is going to make his head explode.

    Terrible style matchup.

    I would be happy for Bute. It would be funny tho ... cuz Bute will qualify automatically into semifinals in contradiction with Froch who worked his ass of to be there. :lol:

    And I don't agree with pushing ppl out if AA would still want to continue same way Taylor was.

    I see what you mean, but surely Ward vs. Bute would be a MUCH better match up.

    I think Showtime wants Bute-Ward as a big final, after the tournament. A bit prematured for now. I wouldn't be surprised to see Bute-Dirrell in March, then Bute against one of the semi-final losers. Then, Ward.

    If I were Ward's promoter, I'd refuse Bute in the semi-final. After all, Ward is ahead on points and that gives him the privilege to fight the worst of the 4 semi-finalists.

    It wouldn't be fair that Bute gets a direct spot. If Abraham goes out, the only way Showtime can react is to give Ward a by to the final, and to see Froch-Johnson fight for the other spot.

    if Ward decides to box, unlike his last fights ....he will school AA. Abraham has near to 0 chances to catch Ward...no countrpunching ability vs very good reflexes and alot more.

    That would be awesome for the fans but it's unlikely to happen if AA drops out.
