    These boxers that wouldnt fight Bute, yet their fans now want to see them against Froch.

    On these forums I have read that Pavlik didnt want to fight Bute, Dirrell could only fight him in America, Ward didnt want to go anywhere near Bute and seemed worried about Bute.

    Against Pavlik, Dirrell and Ward, many would have favoured Bute before the Froch fight and I still wouldnt bet against Bute if up against those fighters.

    Froch has done his fair share, fighting on the road and taking on all comers, maybe they should do the same before their fans start trying to build them up.

    Now Froch has beaten Bute, I have seen threads about Froch/Dirrell and Froch/Pavlik.
    The questions to the fans -
    Why should they be given a shot when the wouldnt fight Bute?

    Expect a load of 'robbery in nottingham' replies, and expect 'Pavlik would beat Froch to get back on the map' when the reality is the only one who would beat him is Ward.

    I think Froch/Kessler is a tough fight for either. I felt Kessler deserved the win in their first fight. Now though Kessler seems more faded than Froch, who I also think is faded.
    I doubt Pavlik would travel to Froch and would want it in America, but Froch has done his bit and at SMW, Pavlik has done nothing and not earnt a shot.

    Maybe the winner of a Pavlik/Dirrell bout would have a claim and the fight in Nottingham

    Im a ward fan and I dont want hime to fight Froch. What would be the point after Ward's lopsided win? Bute needs the three fighters you mentioned to get back on the map.

    Froch needs to beat Kessler if he hopes to get a rematch with the 168 King. I think all three beat Bute and Dirrell and Ward have already beaten Froch IMO.

    Nobody wants to see Ward2, it proves absolutely nothing because Ward treated Froch like a rank amateur. I am a fan of Bute and want to see a rematch in Montreal. I think Dirrell beats him in a rematch and Kessler is a toss-up @ 168 . . . at 175 Kessler look stonger than ever and would be very interesting.

    BTW it was the networks who want Bute to fight Dirrell or Pavlik in the USA . . . since it they are American networks it makes sense

    Yea I agree Ward doesnt benefit at all from whooping Froch again. Froch needs to at least beat Kessler and I would like it if he would rematch Dirrell at a neutral site.

    A Froch Kessler fight is very interesting since both are full of confidence after their recent performances.

    I had the first one as a draw, and I too think Kessler has degraded more than Froch.

    I agree about the Pavlik Dirrell thing, Dirrell shouldnt get a rematch because he was 'robbed' and Pavlik has done what recently? but a win for either fighter agains the others will get people talking.

    I really don't get all the talk about Pavlik, I mean who have he beaten except Taylor several years ago. He got schooled by Hopkins, and then he lost to Martinez.
    What have he done in the ring to deserve a fight against a top dog.

    I certainly understand why Pavlik is trying to talk him into a fight.

    1.Pavlik was on booze at the time and they didn't want to pay him **** for the fight.

    2. Dirrell was tired of BS Euro/Canadien judges after kicking Frochs ass thoroughly and getting screwed out of the decision because the judges don't know **** about boxing or defense.
    3.And Ward thought Bute was a joke like the purse bid. Bute tried to dictate all the fight stips. Not realistic when you're a champ like Andre.

    So running from Bute. My grandmother wouldn't do that. But you'd need more that $5.00 to fight!

    Dirrells a piece of ****, and no way will Carl give him the time of day. Running the whole fight from Froch, faking a brain injury vs Abraham to save his cowardly ass from the inevitable KO, then pussying out of the fight with Ward. One of these is bad enough, but all three? What a streak of ****

    It's called defense my man. Stick n move, pick n pop. It's Carl that was dominated but Euros don't know **** about the sweet science and obviously neither do you!

    you are right homie.when someone is trying to kill you,like Froch and Abraham, the best defence is to run for your life or drop down and play dead.

    To be fair Dirrell did take some time out from playing defense to make Froch and Abe do the chicken dance. Dirrell should have fought that way the whole fight but he was a young fighter after all.
