Best replacement for JT in the Super Six

The best replacement and the available replacements are two different things. Bute/Andrade winner is the BEST replacement. HBO has them tied up and they will not be allowed to enter a Showtime tournament. Bika is having other issues which is keeping him out.

That leaves two names, Allan Green and Edison Miranda. I see no reason why either one of these guys should be allowed to walk into this with out a 'box-off'. Green hasnt beaten anyone of name and has lost to Miranda. He is typically a boring fighter and most think he would get destroyed by the Super Six. Miranda lost twice to Abraham (one controversial in a hell of a war) and to Ward. Now Miranda has Joe Goossen in his corner and is trying to showcase his new talent. He beat his first opponent and looked very good. He may be fighting again on the Ward/Kessler undercard.

The overall consensus with Miranda was he needed a new trainer to advance his career. He finally left Bonilla after a miserable fight with Ward. If Joe Goossen can make the adjustments I think he will have a much better chance beating Abraham and Ward in a rematch. At least in Joe's eyes he thinks it can be done.

Showtime should insist on a Miranda/Green rematch. If Miranda cant beat Green then he has no reason to be in the Super Six. If Green cant revenge his only loss at 100% then he has no reason being in the tournament. Hey, you gotta take the best of who is available and to me, Edison Miranda and Allen Green are who we have to work with.
