Bute - Who is he fighting March 19th?

Stieglitz - ducked Bute before, will duck him again. Would love to see a unification bout. Low chance.

Dirrell - get Shaw-High to write Andre up as a serviceable asset, and Showtime will push for it. Fair chance.

Kessler - at age 31, might still be looking to climb back up... or might retire due to permanent eye injury, WTF knows. He'd still need a tune-up fight before Bute. Low chance.

They're the only 3 possibilities I see. And bringing back Dirrell would make Showtime officials look corrupt as ****... no way a fighter is back in the ring against top opposition just one year after such "serious head trauma". Credibility is already out the window as far as a lot of people are concerned...

I hope the IBF doesn't shove Mendy down Bute's throat... they don't belong in the same ring. :huh

 

Im hoping and thinking Kessler will be okay to fight and will bounce back and fight bute in The USA or maybe dirrel but i doubt it

Kessler i say

 

Allan Green wouldn´t surprise me too much honestly

 

Sartison ?

 

Plausible picks. But, strangely enough, those two aren't ranked top 15 SMW by the IBF as of Thu 25 Nov 10.

1 Jean Paul Mendy
2 NOT RATED
3 Andre Dirrell
4 Librado Andrade
5 Curtis Stevens
6 Les Sherrington
7 Jesse Brinkley
8 Brain Magee
9 Paul Smith
10 Edison Miranda
11 Maksym Bursak
12 Pablo Farias
13 Maxim Vlasov
14 Medhi Bouadla
15 Fulgencio Zuniga

What a beautiful list.

 

well Sartison holds some WBA regular belt therefore he aint ranked by the IBF but would be approved for sure
Smith and Zuniga are going to leave the ranking soon to create some space
Also i forgot about Mendy being Butes mandatory so he could it be as well

 

I like Sartison

decent fighter

 

If I had a mind to, I could write several paragraphs on why that list sucks.

 

Probably another tomato can.

 

Froch?

 

:deali wouldnt be suprised at all

 

Kessler is retired.

 

:deal
