    You can have a point with Forch and Kessler but Ward didn't travel very far in his life! Bute next fight will be is first fight at home since 2005 :yep

    I have never said that Stieglitz was a better fighter than Bute :huh Your so into Bute that you have a hard time seeing this from a neutral perspective. Sorry to say but the reality is, that Stieglitz and Bute at this stage pretty much brings the same to the table in form of reward both for this and further fights. In terms of risk and reward Stieglitz is the safer choice at this time.

    You have to see, that Bute wont go away if Kessler fights Stieglitz. On the other hand if Kessler lose to Bute he would problably end his career.

    Has there ever been a unified champion at SMW? No it would be a massive achievement, no matter what you think of the titles.

    No, and what an idiotic request, but I will admit I was VERY wrong and gladly so, I wish I will be wrong but doubt it very much.

    I'd love to see Bute vs Ward (S6 winner most likely) and for that to happen I need to be wrong about one of these 2 guys not being willing to travel, and since I like Bute the most, I hope it will be him surprising me positively by travelling to make the fight happen.

    So , what do you call someone who takes a safer choice?
    oh, nevermind, i've got nothing against Kessler; but al least he should have stayed at home and not come to Canada and pretend interest in fighting Bute

    A smart man, when the benefits is pretty much the same.

    If Interbox could choose between fighting Kessler in Denmark or Froch in Canada which fight do you think they would prefer?

    Unlike you, I know the world isnt all black and white, so I wont resort to call people I disagree with idiots/******s/morons, but now I know where you stand.

    Maybe a bit of the anger and frustration, you must have for coming with such an uncalled outburst, might be because you know I'm right, and Bute wont travel to get big fights. Anyway I wont argue more with you, apparently all I'll get from you is mudslinging.

    Funny how some people immediately pull the idiot-card when they don't like what they hear, or disagree.

    "Stieglitz is one we take very seriously. He is a tough boxer who is very aggressive.

    Ignorance to what is truth is the problem here. No one should hold it against you or others thinking the same but please keep an open mind and don't come to pre-conceived built in beliefs without knowing facts first...

    First of all, Interbox has a history of letting their fighters travel. They've been in existence since the mid 90s. Eric Lucas went to fight in France against Tiozzo, the US to face Roy Jones & got robbed in Germany against Beyer (Sauerland promoter).

    They've let Bute fight at home for now because of economics alone. No fighter presently in the US can consistently draw 14 000-15 000 fans every fight. The Canadian dollar has been on par or above the US dollar for a while now.

    They have a deal in place with Showtime to face the S6 winner in Madison Square Garden.

    Prior to the S6, they agreed to fight Carl Froch in Nottingham but Bute decided he wanted to immediately rematch Andrade because he was shitted on by everyone to do that rematch ASAP.

    Golden Boy won the purse bid to make Andrade-Bute II. Guess what ? They elected to fight in Quebec because of economics again.... They easily could have made it in California if they wanted to....just like Hopkins vs Pascal could have been in the US but they wanted to make more money fighting in Montreal...once again !

    In 2009, Interbox had agreed to meet Jermain Taylor in the US on HBO but Froch ended up beating Taylor and put an end to that...

    Last year, Interbox had a deal in place to face Kelly Pavlik in Atlantic City on HBO but Martinez beat Pavlik and HBO said no more fight...

    Interbox has said in the media that if Sauerland brings as much or more money to the table for a Kessler-Bute fight and Showtime agrees to show it in Denmark even if it's not live, they would agree because they want Kessler right now !! They have history with Kessler (Lucas vs Kessler), and especially history with Sauerland ( Lucas vs Beyer robbery)...

    They don't mind traveling when the money is right....just like why Dawson & Hopkins are now thinking of fighting in MOntreal because of economics !!
