Surely the remaining fighters are not afraid of any fighter since they chose a tough tournament. But who would they rather not fight meaning who poses the most threat. I think Sakio Bika being too dirty might put them off, and Lucian Bute being slick and undefeated would be considered a threat. Pavlik has been schooled, but is a dangerous puncher and probably one of the hardest hitters amongst the lot, behind Abraham Green, think he is the softest out of the four being speculated.
Dont think they would want Bute - one he is dangerous, two the Bute fight is the extra $$$$$ bonus that the winner of the Super 6 is going to get.
I can't imagine Bute jumping into the ring with Ward on this short of notice, besides he's making a pretty safe living up in Canada. Pavlik's tied to HBO and has already stated he's staying at 160, and Bika looks to be fighting Danny Green, though I bet he'd take the call for the super six if they picked him. It really looks like Green will get the call, sadly enough. I rank alot of the euro fighters like Inkin, Steiglitz, Tsypko and Sartison over him. Andrade too if he hadn't just been KO'd. Perhaps Miranda will get another shot at Ward? He'd be alot more entertaining than Green.
gotta say outta those guys Bute. stopped a guy that hadn't been stopped in awhile, he also beat Sakio Bika. the guy has speed and power, exciting to watch, but his defense is questionable and i think abraham can beat him and can't wait for that one. would be a close, competitive fight
i think they would pefer Bute so that there is no question. if bute does get in. bute vs Ward would crown champion
