Lucian Bute should take Jermain Taylor's spot in the Super Six

I have been saying this for awhile. Taylor is fighting for a title next after being brutally ko'd in his last two bouts! He is getting a title shot even though he lost 4 of his last five fights(ko'd in 3 of them). Bute would be the obvious choice but he is owned by HBO, so if that can't happen perhaps Allan Green, less qualified than Bute but a live fighter and contender.

let him finish the tournament I'm all for Jermaine proving how tough and brave he is. I just don't want to see him get permanently injured. It's kind of the same way I feel about Roy Jones. The man is going to end up like Ali if he doesn't quit while he is ahead.

^^^ What She said. Lucian Bute isnt going to be entering the Super Six. Frankly, he probably likes having the spotlight on him at HBO, and he probably likes the fact that any SMW that can beat him will be caught in a tournament against the other five for the next two years.

Bute can't even if he wanted too for two reason... 1. His promoter doesn't want him to enter the super-six with a loss already to deal with (Taylor loss) and the fact that they weren't invited the first time irks him. 2. And even if Bute promoter has a change of heart, one of the stipulation of HBO airing the Bute/Andrade II is that HBO will have exclusive rights over both the winner (Bute) and the loser (Andrade) next fight. So this not only keeps Bute out of the super six but Andrade as well.
