Calzaghe vs Bute

Joe already won the IBF title... so what difference does it make to win again? :huh

 

I would like to see Calzaghe vs. Bute and it would be nice to see Joe capture the IBF again just to hold all 4 belts plus the RING belt. But he never lost it in the ring, so I don't think he has any interest in it.

 

I would like to see Joe unify, for the sake of it, to a certain extent. But not against anyone. Bute is a worthy holder of the IBF belt - as he will prove in the years to come. This is why I would be interested in Joe unifying first and foremost. Joe says there are no challenges left at SMW...and that there are better challenges at LHW. Maybe he is right. Then, let's hope he fights those better challengers than Bute at 175...not the names who just look good on resumes. What I am saying is that if he won't fight Lucian, he'd better not fight Pavlik at 168 or Hopkins at 175 either...he'd better go for Dawson instead. (I am assuming that Bute would provide Joe with more of a challenge at 168 in a couple of months than Pavlik and that Hopkins is too old to compete well against Joe)

 

I am sorry, no can do...Joe, if he wants to cement and augment his legacy needs to keep on fighting at least another fight against the very best from 168-175...Now granted, Bute might not be HIM...but that doesn't mean that Joe should have an easy time, because he's made it! Because he hasn't...yet.

 

This is a mismatch. Bute is too green and would get beat worse than kessler did. However it would be sweet to see my boy Calzaghe hold all the belts.

 

No, I haven't! If cashing in is the name of the game for Joe and not legacy, he should carry on fighting Manfredo type opponents in front of 35,000+ until he hits 40...or perhaps longer...

 

No disrespect for Bute, he earned his belt fair and square BUT Joe actually never lost it. So in my eyes he has already unified all 4 titles.

 

In Joe's eyes, he has been SMW Champ since forever. In his eyes, the belts meant nothing anyway...he was Champ, that was all that mattered to him.:good

 

Joe should still be the IBF champ, he never lost the belt.

Stupid IBF making Stieglitz (WHO ?) his mandatory. HBO wanted him to fight Manfredo to build up his popularity in the States.

 

Yeah...**** the IBF belt...it should be replaced with the HBO belt - based on TV ratings and PPV numbers.

 

Bute is a too high risk level fighter for Calzaghe. Bute is a better fighter than Kessler. Kessler is too much of a mechanical robot for Calzaghe and Bute. Bute is the number 1 in smw division and Calzaghe needs to figth him in a few months. And don't forget. Bute hit harder than Kessler...

 

Please stop!:twisted:

Fine, you hate Bute (??)...but why do you want everyone but the most knowledgeable and enlightened to hate him too?

 

ok I stop. oh ! I forgot. Kessler knock down Beyer in 3th round !!

 

Bute looks like a slower Calzaghe.

He would be beat by the faster hands.
