Tell me something buddy, how many seats does an average boxer get in any venue in the US? 6, 7, 8 thousand? And in Europe? How many seats? Bute fills de Molson center everytime he fights. Which is around 15 K people. Also, he sells PPV like crazy. So Montreal might not be the Mecca of Boxing, but it's a very profitable venue. Now, tell me something else, how is a European so acidic against a Canadian poster? I would've understood from an American, a European though?? lastly, Bute is European. I mean, you make no sense at all.:rasta
Just give up thinking Pascal-Bute will happen soon. Bute`s team announced they want a ticket for a match with the S6 winner 9probably in the summer of 2012 in Vegas).There will be much more money involved. They will not risk a fight over 168 lbs. Besides, anyone desires a clearification in this strong division. Until then Bute will fight S6 exiters in Montreal.
What the **** are you talking about?? I've got no problem with you putting Bute ahead of the participants in the ss6 head to head, but on resume... What the **** are you talking about?? Froch: Robin Reid, Jean Pascal, Jermain Taylor --> Berrio, Bika, Andrade x2 Kessler: Siaca, Mundine, Beyer, Andrade, Calzaghe (lost, but still good comp.), Sartison --> Berrio, Bika, Andrade x2 Taylor: Hopkins x2, Spinks, Pavlik (lost, but still good comp., Lacy --> Berrio, Bika, Andrade x2 Prior to the ss6 Bute's resume was only ahead of Dirrel, Ward and Green in my opinion...
What the **** are you talking about ??? Robin Reid was ****in' irrelevant by the time Froch laid gloves on him... That's like some of the guys here that claim Calzaghe beating RJJ was a big win Also Froch beat a version of Pascal that was laughed at just a few months before for looking like **** against Omar Pittman, therefore avoiding Edison Miranda in the process. Kessler I already said had the best resume prior to the Super 6 so you gave unnecessary examples. Taylor & Abraham were fighting as middleweights so we're talking about 168lbs here, therefore we need to discuss resumes in regards to this particular weight class.
I agree that it wasn't the same Pascal that Froch beat, Pascal today is twice the fighter he was two years ago. That said, 160 is not that far from 168...
It seems to be the case... Bute should have made the mandatory fight during the summer to get it out of the way. Early 2011, I'd love to see Jean get Cloud's belt and Bute fight one of the eliminated Super 6 guys.
Weight jumping is over rated. Monzon, Haglar, Little Red Lopez, and many others, had briliant careers, but never fought outside their natural division. Bute and Pascal simply do not need each other.
