For the life of my I can't think of one good reason for Green to be in this Tournment. His last fight on ShoBox against 38 year, way undersized Tarvis Simms was terrible. If Simms was bigger he would of Knocked Green out.
This tournament IMO is the best thing to happen to boxing in a long time, even better than Pac vs May. But is there anyone who thinks Green deserves this? Is there anyone who even wants to see him in this tournament?
I havnt seen one person excited about Green, But if they put Bute in there. The tournament would of gained so much more exposure because they of got a better fighter and all of Canada would be watching now. Boxing managers and promoters are too short sighted, they need to get their shit straight.
It's pretty well known that Bika vs Green was suppose to happen because Green is with Dibella and Bika is with Haymon. I think Bika was the way better option.
But still, I cant believe everyone else in the tournament didnt step up and say something about this. If I'm a promoter with this tourny I want whoever brings the biggest hype and the best fights and Green is nothing. I've been having to listen about how green is ducked and no one will fight him for years. It's complete BS, no one cares about him.
now thats just crazy. green maybe hasnt fought alot of big names but hes taken on solid contenders in the division and hes obviously quality, bika obviously is not. green is way more skilled and adds alot more class than bika who would give very little problems to both ward and kessler.
i think if green beats bika then he has earned the right to be in the tourney, i think his loss to miranda is not understood by everyone. remember that he was fighting with colon problems and imo he would beat miranda in a rematch.
i think bika would make exciting fights in the super 6 but he wouldn't really tell us anything that we don't know (how good would bika vs froch be!!!). imo he would handily lose to kess, ward and AA. green actually makes things exciting, he is a real dark horse and is the type of fighter that we haven't seen in this tourney.
i would have preferred to see bute in this thing but he doesn't seem interested.

Why do people think that Bute has any interest in actually fighting in the Super 6?
bute himself issued a message to the media about his frustration of not getting informed when the tournament info leaked
its probably in bs archive
he belongs to hbo now though
panda agrees showtime made a bad move not recruiting bute and his promotor and gave hbo the chance to snatch him away
but wont likely fight for showtime in a while green is just the biggest name left
green was build up as a solid contender only to lose to miranda but he seems to still generate enough buzz to be the next top 10 168 pound fighter to enter the tournament
nobody knows stieglitz or inkin, andrade just lost, balzsay has no name
bute would be a great option, but so is green. im very excited to see him in there. he is the third best fighter in the tourney imo and will add a great deal to the super six.
