Ward don't want Bute. It wouldn't surprise me at all if Bute calls out Ward after each of his next few fights. Let's say he beats Froch decisively. He call out Ward who has yet to announce a fight. Ward declines and defends against Kessler or TD. So Bute goes and somehow gets Pavlik(coming off a decent win) or Steiglitz(same, maybe Abraham). Bute beats his next guy. He call out Ward and Ward refuses and goes on to sign for Hopkins(just beaten by Dawson). Of course, should Bute fight before Hop/Ward, it will only be for his titles, but should he wait for the beel to ring on that fight, and Ward relinquishes his titles, the WBC or WBA may set up a fight with Bute and Kessler or a Froch rematch even for either of the vacant belts. Of course Bute will try to get Ward to come down and challenge him, but Ward won't do it. So, Bute ends up beating Steiglitz, Pavlik, Froch, Kessler, and a Dirrel, and suddenly, Ward still won't fight him since he's got Cloud, Pascal, Dawson, Cleverly, and Cloud to fight. When will the hate end. Should Bute continue to be hated until Ward is forced in the ring with him. This is the only sensible conclusion since all of his wins will be tainted by Ward having outpointed most of them before the move.:rofl
You do know that he recently lost to Aaron Pryor at an age of 32 so by your definiton he is still kind of in his prime? Sorry but I dont think that I can change your mind by simple text. But please try to bang your head against the wall multiple times, when you start to hesitate or pass out you have passed your prime :hi:
An athlete's peak is useually 25-28.. Given that Andrade wasn't a technical fighter, i think that 28 was the best age for him..
Strangely enough, thats my only beef with Bute and Interbox aswell, oh.. and the fact that he never fights anyone of legitimacy, but that burden should be put on IBF moreso than Bute. And I get labelled a notorious hater, I'm pretty infamous among the Bute-fans as the resident Bute-hater! :fire I like most of Bute's fans, they're just a bit over the top with Bute, otherwise they're good people, most of them.
I think Ward will wait Bute to get older and then he will demand a fight with him. Now Ward has 27 years old . I bet when Bute will have 35 years old and his time to hang his gloves will come , Ward will accept a fight with Bute. Now Bute has 31 years old ; its a 4 years difference between them. So when Ward will have 31-32 years and Bute 35-36 , Ward will demand a fight with him. ......
you didn't answer to my question !!!! when Andrade's prime started and when it has ended ??????? Name of the fights !!:hey:hey
i have trouble raping my head around the saying that u need to proove yorself so as to face a certin boxer...i agree if you are an upcoming fighter trying to make a name for yourself. but if this chalenger has a title and has faced many commin fighters and not only thatt, he is rated amungst the top in the division then it makes for a poor argument. if i was in a position to take away a belt from a suposadly avredge fighter who has bin protected all his fighting career and is also past his prime (prime being as some say 25 to 28)... **** i would drop everything to get that belt and show my supremasy. it just blows my mind that this is still a half ass argument that is still used and propaganted by fans. just trying to use some commen sence.
He called upon the haters of Bute, apparently I'm not one.:happy I'm an unbiased source of information regarding Interbox and Butes decisions. :deal
