LOL, maybe because they are the top SMW elites? So far, I'm not a Bute fan because he doesn't deserve me as a fan. He has failed to meet my standards of appreciation. As he progresses, if he progresses, perhaps he finally will. :smoke
Ward is a SMW version of PHONEYMAY. Not in terms of skill, power or ability, but in terms of cheating in the ring and ducking outside of it. It was Wards camp who threatened to pull out of S6 if Bute was let in, it was Ward who turned Bute down 2 yrs ago after Andrade2 and it is Ward who won't fight Bute if he is victorious against Froch. Froch has also claimed he don't want Bute either, but IMO, he's got the balls to step up and make the fight. If not in his first defense, then in his 2/3. If Bute wants Ward though he will have to chase him to LHW after dropping his IBF and getting a mandate at SMW. Of course that is what would preempt a Ward move.....a Bute mandate.:rofl I guess if Ward wins, Bute will likely get Froch first. Ward will go after Kessler/Steiglitz, likely unify, then run from Bute by fighting Pavlik, GJ or a Dirrel before fleeing to LHW.:-(
You racists are pitiful! If I'm not mistaken, Froch is white also. I'm a Froch fan, and will have a ton of cash on him to soundly trash Bute. Stop lying to yourselves and playing the lame race card. atsch
How I am racist, you *****? I have repeatedly defended Flody vs Hatton and I fully intend to root for Ward, an American, over Froch. You're a Froch fan? Spare me. You are using Froch as a stalking horse because you know he's no threat to Ward, unlike Bute. So I ask again-- what's the terms of our Bute-Froch bet??
Just found this i don't want to get ban so i'll just copy-paste This is wrote by an american: 3. To heck with Vegas, put 'em on in Canada. That nation just plain likes its fights, doesn't it? There was such a nice buzz for the Bute-Johnson card at the Pepsi Coliseum, a nice ripple of energy coursing throughout the building. Contrast that with the flat feel at the Centro de Cancun in Cancun, Mexico. Bute, Jean Pascal -- they should always get the home-field advantage because they have fans who pony up to see them. Hell, let's just put all cards on in Canada. OK, maybe one or two a year at Madison Square Garden ...
Where did you get the part in bold ? Are you just making that up or do you have some sort real info to share ?
Spare me the feminine emotionalisms. I like Froch simply because he acts like a fighter. He may not be the most skilled of the lot, but his determination, drive, heart, have taken him to the finals of the S6. He has not used excuses for not meeting expected challenges. He may even defeat Ward in the finals. He has a chance simply becasue he is there, willing, and able. Unlike Bute who; -Failed to get in the Super 6, and in fact seems relieved he didn't -Failed to make the fight with Kessler (For whatever excuse he uses) -Failed to make the fight with Pavlik (For whatever excuse he uses) -Failed to make the fight with BHOP (For whatever excuse he uses) -Failed to call out any SMW in the top ten -Failed to move up/down to make a meaningful fight with anyone! These are just FACTS, jack. Not based on emotions and sentimentalism like French fans. Froch is Frich, so he will likely, win or loss following the S6 call out and meet Bute first, barring some fluke injury, legal issue, or more likely, Bute ducking the fight. When the time approaches we'll negotiate our deal. Just don't disappear. :yep
I have a question for all : If Sakio Bika would have been in S6 instead of Abraham or Taylor , of which fighters he would have passed ?? .... IMO, Bika would have deserved to be in s6.
Bute will walk over Ward. Ward and power doesn't go in the same sentence. Bute won't have to respect him on that regard. And Ward has a known suspecting jaw. Bute footwork will easily handle Ward speed. And Bute's power will do it's job on Ward chin and liver.
