    I wanted Lucian Bute in the tournament aswell being a big fan and all. But thinking about it in another way, when the winner is decided amongst the super six, and if Lucian Bute keeps winning which he should. It will be one hell of a fight between Lucian Bute and whoever the winner is, it would be the biggest fight at Super Middleweight since RJJ vs James Toney.

    Plus Bute will get to pick and choose easy fights while the winner of the tournament will have just gone through 5 wars!
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    As stated above, showtime wanted to fill the spot with an American fighter(since showtime is largely an American network).

    Also Green was supposed to fight Bika, and the winner would get the spot, but Bika inexplicably rejected the fight, and the slot was awarded to Green.

    Also, it looks like HBO is grooming Bute for a fight against Kelly Pavlik.

    Even if Kelly loses? I think HBO is ready to cash out on Pavlik.

    I don't think anyone cares about Bute apart from you and Canada.

    The bigger fights are the fights that are taking place right now in the super six.

    Bute is out in the wilderness in much the same way as Chris John was for years. Andre Ward would have an easy night's work with him and Abraham and Froch both knock him out. Kessler beats him and Dirrell outslicks him imo.

    As you can tell I'm not a fan. Beating Andrade is only slightly better than Green beating Tarvis Simms.

    I don't know why your not a fan Bilbo, yes some people probably did go over the top regarding the Librado Andrade rematch. But im not a bandwagon jumper.

    I've been a Lucian Bute fan for quite awhile now, i can show you a thread from ages ago, where i said Lucian Bute was the darkhorse of the division.

    From what i've read Lucian Bute doesn't sound like a bad guy, outside the ring. And he's had some good underrated wins, which i've told you about before. And he's exciting and he's also up to this point, willing to fight anyone.

    I don't see what's not to like Bilbo personally, but thats your opinion if you don't like him i can't change your mind. But i think he will suprise you in the next few years.

    Green should've been in the tournament over Jermaine Taylor from the jump..



    I'm gonna go against the grain here and say Green over Ward by knockout.
