    In Québec, french is our first language and we are unable to talk correctly, there's kind of polemik because at schooll, some people think they don't teach the good way ... so imagine for somebody who start at 23 to learn it, that's not easy. With Russian and Japanese, french are the most difficult language. Think about it

    Badlok, you're proving that people leaving far from big cities are not feared of travelling. Props to you!

    I have a feeling the guy Larouche wants for Bute if he wins against Zuniga is Edison Miranda.

    Miranda has a fight around the same time in March and I'm sure Interbox and Warrior have been in negotiation for the upcoming Diaconu-Johnson fight if Diaconu wins against Branco.

    Bute-Miranda & Diaconu-Johnson on the same card? :D

    Surely, US TV would be interested! :D

    I like!:yep

    Wasn't Miranda chasing Froch, though? I guess he'd rather fight Bute on US tv for a title than Froch, assuming Froch loses against Taylor, on British TV.

    Miranda could be interesting enough for Showtime. Not sure what the point would be, though, because Showtime are already interested in Bute v. Andrade II...but anyway...

    ...HOWEVER, according to the rules, Bute would have to fight Andrade by the 23rd of July, so I can't see how Miranda could be squeezed in.

    Rules can always be bent.

    All they have to do is ask the IBF for a derogation.

    But Miranda, if he can bang, doesn't put, from what I have seen of him, as much pressure as Andrade does, no?

    Andrade is the only SMW to go forward even when he is hit flush. Everyother boxer goes backward a little before countering. There is no Andrade clone.

    And I suspect Miranda won't go for much more rounds against Bute that he did against Abraham...

    When you look at the plans for Bute in 2009. It looks pretty decent. Sure, there is no talk about unification fights until 2010. But I'm willing to bet the other champions won't be fighting each other either.

    Zuniga in March 09
    Miranda in June 09
    Andrade in October 09

    That will most likely be better then what Kessler and Balzsay are going to do.

    Froch or Taylor might do better. Time will tell.

    Maxime!:happy

    Would you be happy with Zuniga and Andrade, if Bute performed well in each fight and won fair and square?:think

    I guess it depends what kind of fights are there for him.

    If he could get a fight with Taylor/Froch or Kessler and decides to fight Miranda instead. I would have a problem with it.

    But those fights are often hard to make and take time. There is probably zero chance these fights could be made for June.

    Indeed, the winner of Froch vs Taylor won't be able to fight in June, their fight being in late April. And Kessler is still trying to get out of his contract with Palle who's working for a mandatory defense in June against the dangerous Perdomo :patsch

    What about fighting Andrade in June or July? He could have time for a big fight late this year.
