    Or will he fall out of favour with the Canadian housewives when he goes bald in a years time?

    Seems to me that other than Bryan or Celine, Canada hasn't really contributed much to the World in the way of global stars. There seems to be a huge belief on here amongst the Canadian fans that Bute could be the next big thing out of their country.

    Do you agree?

    Has he got real star potential?

    Will his impending baldness affect his credibility?

    Not even a win over Ward, Kessler and Froch would be big as;

    I think most boxing fans know Bute has more chance of topping the US charts with a Bryan Adams cover album than he does leaving Canada to fight the champ Ward.

    I've talked to a few french canadians and they have no ****ing clue who he is. And this surprised me since he fills all them arenas up there.

    But was those Canadians middle aged women? That appears to be his target market.

    Gretzky and Super Mario (Lemieux) will always be bigger than any Canadian boxer in history. :yep

    GSP has a claim to fame as well. :D
