I agree but the problem is going to be getting the best to fight each other. Hopefully they will all step up to the plate and take on the hardest challenges out there.

If Bute handles his business then it sets up a very interesting fight next year against the super six winner. Which will be Ward but I'll save that argument for another time

Wasn't it Bute who came in against Miranda at 190 or something with Miranda being like 193 fight night? I think some fighters are forcing themselves to make weight classes that they shouldn't be in. Ballooning up more then 20 pounds sounds insane to me.

Bute was 181 and 183 in the Andrade II and Miranda fights. Miranda was even heavier at 185 or 86.

Back in 2006 against Bika Bute showed pretty big flaws with his inside game, on the very rare occasion Bika did get inside. In recent years he's shown good improvements but against Johnson it should be tested in a way that probably no one else would be capable of doing.
