True, Froch can change his approach during fights and always seems to rattle his opponent's gameplan to a certain extent, but his fight with Dirrell proves he didn't adjust to speed and movement very well. He didn't shine against Taylor either. Bute has legit power and can move pretty well against a brawler who comes forward. No way does Froch try and exclusively box Bute, he'll have to come and catch him (jab or lead right, your pick). Bute is specializing in fighting off of the back foot. This is a H2H matchup, resumes don't fight. Bute would probably draw record numbers in Montreal if you gave him Kessler or Dirrell to fight. Interbox folks aren't dumb, they've tried to get names in Montreal. Even a shot, motherless mother****er like Joppy made to the main event against Bute. Don't you ****in think that Interbox would have signed fights against top ranked SMW to make more ****in money?!??!??!???? It's just business. And the S6 ****ed Interbox's business @ SMW pretty ****in good. That's why some of 2011 and all of 2012 will be prime time for Bute. He'll be facing the best continually, and fans won't tolerate seeing a Stevens or Mendy come to fight Bute in Montreal from then on. Golovkin? FFS. He's far from done at MW, and the same can be said of Bute at SMW. Not realistic one ****in bit.
Golovkin is the one not available. He doesn't fight anyone because he has contractual problems. Does that remind you someone else? Why would Bute call a guy who can't fight? In addition, Golovkin is still in line to get a MW title. That's not exactly the right moment to ask him to jump weight.
Bute has lacked credible opposition for a very long time. Are you saying that he has been clearly unavailable all the time? That's an honest question as I cant recall Golovkins contractual situation straight off the bat. I seem to remember the Interbox fax naming several fighters who was highly doubtful as available opposition and Golovkins name wasn't there.

Thanks. Plenty of people on the Interbox list from other weightclasses inclyuding injured fighters, fighters on rehab etc. No Golovkin though which strikes me as odd since Bute must be really keen on getting even.
Golovkin said in an interview that, for 2011, he's fighting Hassan N'Dam N'Jikam and Felix Sturm. http://www.netboxe.com/rep1/page.php?idz=11238 He also wants Martinez. All that **** is at MW, stop talking trash about Bute ducking him. That time will come where GGG steps up to 168.
Calm down, im not disagreeing or agreeing, but noting Froch has done alot more than Bute in alot fewer fights
So what. He'll take a megapayday against Bute any day of the week and twice on sunday. So it cannot be the reason why he isnt even mentioned.
So you think there's a good chance Kessler would take a Bute fight at less than 100%? That would suck. For everyone. Hope Kessler's eyes heal completely. Why did Magee go on a LHW run after his loss to Froch? :huh I know what you mean about experience though, Froch actually lived through those high stakes fights and has looked back on them, reflected on what could have been improved. Bute hasn't. But only because he wasn't able to get a similar schedule in the last couple of years. Yeah you know that first hand. You go for coffee with good ole' Gennady every once in a while, and he's told you he'd be willing to go out of his way (to destroy N'Dam and Sturm) to fight Bute because the money would be good. **** the career path, let's go to ****in Montreal. :good
The quote :"is killing me with those body shots" rings any bells to you. Imagine what Bute can do to that body. I can't wait !:happy
No. Golovkin is not at the same level. He is still fighting top 30 fighters. He has never fought a top 5. Not even a top 10. Not even a top 50. He has not improved as much as Bute. Not even close. At this stage, Golovkin is still a prospect. Not a good name for Bute for the moment. He has to win something at MW first.
