Bute to Join Super Six? In talks to sign three fight deal with Showtime.

If there is one thing that could help the sagging Super Six, it's Bute joining. Both parties benefit. Bute's team realizes that the best fights for him are against fighters in the tournament; Showtime realizes that the addition of Bute could salvage what's left of the tournament.

Could be good.

For me if Bute and his charges have any sense they would stay well clear of the Super Six, and simply wait for the winner to emerge then set up a unification bout to determine the best of the division.

The only fighter coming out of this tounament with any credit so far is Ward. The others have either lost or picked up injuries. This is probably from having to fight only top names in the division continuoulsy.

Bute is currently doing the right thing by fighting others in his hometown and picking up victories, which boosts his world status, compared to the likes of Froch, Kessler etc.

The tournament does need an injection, and for me Allan Green v Glen Johnson aint it, but for Bute's sake and overall marketablity and health, he should stay clear
