BoxingScene.com has learned that Lou DiBella, promoter for Allan Green, is exploring a possible fight against undefeated IBF super middleweight champion Lucian Bute. With Jermain Taylor refusing to walk away from the Super Six tournament, Green [a Super Six backup] obviously needs an alternate plan.

Promoter Bob Arum insists that Pavlik is going to remain at 160-pounds for the better of 2010. Arum would like to see Pavlik fight either Paul Williams or WBA champion Felix Sturm - or both. That leaves Bute in the hunt for an opponent. [Click Here To Read More]

Bute should beat Green no problem, that's a fight I do not want to see. I want to see Bute vs Pascal or Bute vs Diaconu. -

It would be interesting in the fact that these are the two guys replacing the oft beaten Jermain Taylor if not for the differences between HBO and Showtime. Green generally has been an question mark, is he going to be a star or not? And Bute is blooming as a champion. But they are the best two supermiddleweights this side of the supersix!Comment
