If Bute isn't worthy of a shot at Ward, how is Dre Dirrell worthy of a shot at Bute?

So many good fights get wasted for no valid reasons when putting things in perspective.

Gamboa vs Juanma was gonna be huge until they let it wait too long....

Ward vs Bute is guaranteed big money and you never know when the big money will ever come around again...

Just ask Pavlik now if he regrets his comments about the S6...

The best should always fight the best when possible + they should never let a very decent paycheck pass by if its possible to get it.

 

Dirrell's wins over Froch and Abraham are both better than anyone on Bute's resume. That's all that needs to be said. You're the one without a leg to stand on. Bute hasn't a single win over a top opponent. Johnson is his best win, that speaks volumes.

A win against a top boxer is better than 5 wins against b/c level opponents.

 

You're just repeating what others say without looking into the real facts. The S6 has blinded you too.

Bute has met more top 10 fighters at the time of the fights at 168lbs, than Dirrell has.

Saying otherwise is just ignorance.

 

What top 5 boxers has he beaten?

Dirrell has beaten 2, Bute has beaten none. There's a fact for you to chew on.

 

Abraham was never top 5 by the way....

Just Concentrate on Post #79

 

This is true.

The only one who has an argument for having a better resume than Bute is Ward(And Ward does have the better resume).

Froch comes REAL close, Carl has a great resume, but outside of Taylor, they share the next biggest win(Johnson). Andrade was ranked higher than Taylor.

Abraham was #6. Can't rank Dirrell on a win he didn't recieve with Froch. Pacquiao is stil pfp #1, afterall.

 

Owned!

 

Hey Bob did you receive pink glasses for Xmast :think

 

Dirrell isn't a bigger name than Andrade was when Bute fought him. He isn't a bigger name than Bika was either. He isn't a bigger name than GJ was either.

 

Abraham was ranked #6 once at SMW, don't know for sure if he was ever top5 but someone who cares should verify.

 

Bika was #7 IBF and #10 Ring Magazine, when he fought Bute
Bika is #5 Ring Magazine in this moment.

 

Is an interview on the scene with Dirrel , who is calling out Bute. He says Bute is a protected fighter and wants to fight him. Maybe Lucian will fulfil his Christmas wish.

 

I still wish for Bute-Froch but if not Dirrell is a great back-up plan.
