Reading your posts since yesterday, you are the one looking like a *******. It's about time both Bute and Ward face another slick fighter. That's the only way to know who is better. But you try to make excuses for him to avoid that fight. You don't look good doing that.
You should stop watching boxing on bad streams. Johnson barely touched Bute all fight long. It pisses me off: posters like you repeating that line all the time and Bute's opponents saying after each fight how tough he is to touch. I wonder who's right.
What has Bute done in his career, exactly? Who is on his resume to propel him to this world beater status?
its not just about saying anything, give facts, who has offerd bute a fight? nobody is claming a fight for his belt, no offers just excuses. and yet we keep hearing how eazy it would be to beat him. give facts or speek as it should be...your opinion.
If you hadn't began watching boxing last year, you would know he was number 2 when the tournament began. That alone make a Ward-Bute fight necessary. You can also watch fights instead or reading boxrec all the time. You can also listen to professionnal fighters and analysts who say he is an excellent boxer. Bute is also the best financial fight for Bute right now. In facing Bute in a couple of months, Ward keeps his 2 belts + has the chance to gain the IBF one. Bute-Ward is the biggest fight at SMW. I could understand Ward to wait if he wants to face Bute on HBO next year. I could understand if he wants an easy fight first. But to say Bute is not a factor is complete bull****.
We talking about the same Bute who struggled mightily against Andrade? Ward has earned a the right to take some time off. How about we see Bute in against some live competition and revisit this fight in 6-10 months.
We talking about the same Bute who put Andrade down to his knees on a liver shot. Ward can take some time off after fighting twice a year (of which exposed Abraham, might Allan Green and elusive Sakio Bika have been quite the series of challenges) while Bute fights Froch or Dirrell. I even see a tiny chance of seeing Bute-Green in NYC, in which case "stretcher" would be the keyword to enter the contest. However Bute-Ward IS happening within the next 12 months. It has to, FFS. ...trolling? :blood (in that Bute's Romanian...)
Maybe . Bute has quality, no doubt. But he hasn't faced the level of opposition that Ward has. Why would Ward duck him? Ward has no question marks hanging over him, Bute does. Absurd of the TS to suggest Ward's afraid to fight him, in my opinion.
so for you, winning all first 11 rounds in a fight but looking bad in the 12th because of exaustion is struggling:think
I don't see why Ward would duck Bute either. :? Why the hell is he saying Bute should fight better opposition instead? Why is he not talking about taking a well deserved break, and fighting Bute after to take his belt in the ultimate goal of a full unification? "Go prove yourself" is condescending, he's just fueling Bute's fire who already said he'd fight either, anywhere, anytime. :huh Bute brings a shitload of money to the table for a fight in NYC or AC. :think No question for me, Ward is #1. However Bute is the way to go for money & legacy, and he shouldn't dismiss him publicly like that. Comes off as ignorant and arrogant, right? Just sayin.
