If Lucian Bute had been invited to the Super Six...

It's funny how one fight can do so much damage is Bute a bum now.

I remember being shocked an astonished at the number of members of this site that thought Bute would son Froch. They lied to him, saved him from his ko loss by Andrade and thought they had something good as he entered the ring against Froch. There's no way he would have won it.

However I do think he'd have done reasonably well against Ward. Drop an 7-5, or 8-4 type ud. Abraham and of course Froch would be his most n=dangerous fights.

AA IMO is the perfect style matchup for him: slow feet, doesn't pressure, covers up all the time, weak to the body. You may be right about him being able to hang with Ward closer than most, however IMO Ward has a good chance of a stoppage win. Not cause Bute's chin is so weak, but he has no defensive instincts when hurt, and Ward is the smartest guy around.

He would have gotten KO'd end of story. Bute was a hype job that got expose.

So, we know Bute wasn't invited to the Super Six tournament, but what if he had? Could he have won it all, and if not, then how far could he have made it? How would he have fared against Dirrell, Ward, and Abraham? Would Froch have been able to beat him, or would he have been too "green"? How would his career have been different if he won the tournament?

He was invited. His management thought he was above every other fighter in the tournament and wanted to control the terms.

Possibility of beating Taylor Abraham Green and a chance against Bika but loses the rest

He probably beats everyone but Froch and Ward. People underrate his offensive skills.

My first thought was Abraham would have had two wins then.

Maybe he out boxes Abraham, but I think Arthur eventually would have stopped him.

He probably would have beaten Taylor and Green.

There is nobody in the S6 that Bute would have beaten without question.

Bute is a joke, even though he is Canadian his career was managed like a typical Euro - easy opponent after easy opponent forcing them to travel long distances to a hostile environment.

The Super6 exposed Kessler and Abraham as typical European fighters with no mental toughness who can't hack it when things aren't 100% in their favor, and Bute would have been exposed just like them by anyone other than Allen Green.
