Super Middleweight Tournament Officially Announced

[Dave Rado]

Who cares about titles?

The SMW titles are worthless now.

This tournament will decide the heir of Joe Calzaghe.

:'( thank you to everyone who made this possible

Except that Bute has been frozen out. How can that possibly be justified? He's rated #2 by The Ring and by boxrec. No one can call themselves the man unless they've beaten Bute (unless he loses in the meantime). It's a great tourney apart from that, but that is a really ****** and serious error IMO.

Bute should be in there but in the meantime while these tourny fighters are all locked up Bute can target Green sometime and the winner can wait for the tourny winner...first Andrade

Froch will knock them all out.

I'm starting to like Froch although if i was a fan every fight id be nervous because of his style...but he'll never be in a boring fight..and his resume looks more impressive with jean pascal's latest win

Hallelujah!

If I was to bet on a reason why Bute isn't in the Tournament it would be because he doesn't fancy having to take on 3 of these guys, at the moment he seems happy taking on C-D level competition in front of massive crowds in Canada. Also seriously how can people find anyway to complain about this Tournament, it is the best thing to happen in boxing for a long while. If Sky Sports are showing all these fights live in the UK then this is the only thing that could get me to subscribe.

Great stuff, exactly what the division needs.

[onedream722]

damn that Froch-Kessler fight or Froch-Abraham...those will be dope as ****!!!!!!!!

true, he would rather not lose his 0, which he most certianly would if he entered this tournament.
