    I got a lot of respect for Bute, classy guy and he definitely deserves to get his rematch with Froch in Montreal if he wants it

    I don't give a **** of what he wants he has the LHW's and should do what he wants there until Bute actually moves up to that weight. I don't find interesting a fight between him and Bute and would like to see the Romania-Canadian fight Froch, Kessler, Ward or Dawson before Pascal.

    Like I said... Most of you would've bash the living **** out of Bute for taking Stevenson as an opponent 1 year ago.
    Bika, Berrio, Johnson, Zuniga, Miranda etc all had power.

    And he didn't expect goodness of Froch's heart either that's why they sing that contract with a rematch clause in there.

    The fact that Froch accepted that rematch clause into his contract means he acknowledge that Bute deserves another chance at the belt in exchange of him coming to England.
    I don't give a **** of who thinks that the fight is needless, the men has earned his shot at the title by putting his career in jeopardy when let's be honest could have stayed in Canada and taken a fight against Kessler, Pascal or Cloud whenever he wanted.

    Stevenson is pure glass. Froch vs STevenson is a pointless mismacth that will end with Stevenson convulsing on the ground after about 30 seconds. belts don't mean **** anymore, we all know who's really top dogs.

    Belts do mean something and you should probably ask Froch cuz I believe he knows how hard is to win one and how much harder is to keep it.

    No it doesn't, the fact that Froch signed the rematch clause was to make Bute more open to fighting him,

    However I don't mind seeing a rematch, it was a good match for me as a Brit.

    They should just go where the money is. Froch should vacate the title, fight Bute, Stevenson then would get a title match on the vacated belt. The winner of both match up should be force to fight if the winner of Bute-Froch wants it since the winner of the Stevenson vs ??? match up would get an easier belt. If nor Froch nor Bute wants the fight for that belt, they could go for bigger fish in the pound. Although Stevenson - Bute would be huge in Montreal.

    If Bute wins he would probably go to LHW unless Ward keeps him to SMW.
    If Froch wins(the rematch) he will probably want Ward, Kessler or Pascal.
    Both guys don't have time to play with guys like Stevenson anymore.

    Bute wants the belt back, and secondly to prove he can beat Froch. There's other inside twists to this tale though, that's when the money comes into play. A lot of greedy mofo's!

    Bute's fight next Saturday is at LHW for a minor trinket, sounds like he's fighting at LHW already my man.

    Are you saying you would have been happy for him to do that BB.Stay in Montreal fighting guys of little consequence so that he can stay in the imaginary P4P lists you guys all had before the truth was exposed?
    Bottom line is it was you guys he owed,and he took the chance.But would he have done it without the rematch clause? Would Froch have accepted a one-off in Montreal?
    Think you know the answers.
    Moat of us have a ton of respect for Bute as a man,but let's not pretend that coming to Nottingham was some sort of sporting gesture.
    You beat me to it Elliot,and I'm all for the rematch as well.Don't think it'll be as one-sided as The Bell Centre sounds pretty intense and I think Bute will respond to that.
    But his fans have to accept that this fight seems meaningless to many neutrals.

    Yeah, if the Bute team had been smart and confident, they'd have fought Stevenson instead of Grachev. Would Stevenson had taken the Bute fight with no belt on the line? Hell, yea$!
