Dawson's not even available, so why bother bringing him up? And while Hopkins called out Bute, I'll believe it when I see it. Hopkins ain't travelling to Montreal to fight, and Hopkins doesn't draw well enough for the fight to make money anywhere else. I swear to god, some people just like complaining for the sake of complaining. If Bute fights Stieglitz and then his mandatory (probably Bika), then since the Super Six started, Bute will have fought four of the top 5 SMWs who weren't invited to the Super Six. But people will still find a reason to complain.
I thought Universum still had options on Stieglitz. He was listed on their website until recently anyway.

And he fought on a Universum show in his last fight. :huh Maybe it was promoted by his opponent's promoter? :huh
Stieglitz, Sartison and Brinkley would be the three possible opponents. Again, let's hope Stieglitz accept. I doubt.
I don't understand why Sartisson keeps getting mentioned. Would he drop his WBA paper belt for a shot at Bute or something? Or is it just the same clueless guy in charge of the Romanian boxing federation who keeps mentioning that name because he think Bute can unify against Sartisson?
No but there was a strategic partnership in the case of Stieglitz for quite some time and because he had beaten Balzsay in a voluntary defense Universum got options as far as i remember on the next three Stieglitz fights. Which was a win-win situation since SES cant even afford opponents like Miranda.. he never had a profile page on the universum homepage just appeared on this headergraphics where all Universum beltholders were on but a lot of them either left or lost the belt so it was time to do some redesign :yep Gutknecht who was a mandatory, Balzsay and Wilaschek have been with universum at the time when they fought Stieglitz.
You'r right Maxime, Sartison comes out from nowhere. Romanian people seem to be sure of holding a Bute fight on July. I'm not so sure. Last time I heard Bédard, he was saying "could". If Bute has bigger fish to fry, he won't fight in Romania in July. HBO won't be there in July. HBO could be there in August and show Bute-whoever on the Pascal-Dawson undercard. Nothing more, in my opinion. If Bute, has nothing interesting, he could go in Romania for a stay busy fight. Without HBO.
If he were to "unify" with Sartison, would the WBA make him their super champion? (Not really a serious question, more 'taking the ****' of the WBA)
