    The Bute nuthuggers love to say Bute can't fight a top fighter because they are all tied up with the Super Six. That's fair enough so why the **** hasn't he moved in weight to get a legit fight like so many other boxers do. It's not like he's a small super middleweight, he is probably the biggest of the bunch.

    He should have fought Dawson, Pascal and Hopkins. Instead of Magee, Brinkley and Miranda. There's no excuses for him not moving up.

    Because Kessler is on his radar who actually fights in his division ..

    Why would he move up? There are plenty of good fights to be made at 168 :huh

    No reason to move up unless circumstance requires it or the body is telling u to.

    Bute would look soft at 175..give up power and speed. Don't move up until it's necessary :thumbsup

    I'd rather he stays at super middleweight, way too many good fights there. I just hope he plans to take a good fight sometime soon, ever since the Andrade fight and he has done nothing. I expected him to be the first in the supersix.

    Because he would rather see Dawson fight Hopkins first. I'm sure Bute is a fight fan too, and he wants to see this fight.

    Let's see him first versus Kessler.. than the SuperSix winner... he, Ward, Cloud, Dawson, etc. can sort out whose the ebst of the best next year...:hey.. For now let Hopkins just take on his "mandatory"- Dawson.

    He's lined up to fight Kessler (or possibly Pavlik if Kessler falls through for some reason) and then the Super 6 winner. Bute's said he doesn't want to put on muscle to become solid at LHW and then have to lose it and drop back down, once he moves up to LHW he's doing it for good so it makes a whole lot more sense to fight at SMW another year or so and then go to LHW perminantly for possible Hopkins, Dawson, Pascal fights.

    That's what I'm screamin.

    Plus, depending on who wins or loses the S6, I'd like to see Bute fight any of the three guys left, plus Kessler.

    Bute vs. Kessler, I'd root for Kessler.

    Bute vs. Froch, all action fight.

    Bute vs. Ward, could be a unification.

    Bute vs. Johnson, big test of what Bute is made of. Johson aint no joke.
