what fights would get to Bute more credit / respect from the boxing fans ?? fights at SMW div. ( ward , kessler, Froch, Dirrel ) or fights at LHW div. ( Hopkins,Pascal,Dawson ) i did this poll because I think the s6 winner and the s6 loser won't fight with Bute ....... it will be a Froch , Ward vs Kessler triangle, from various reasons .... and Bute would be forced to move up at LHW to have some big fights ! ......
Probably the loser of the super six final.. But after such a fantastic shut out against Glen Johnson, who's only lost 16 times, last time out hopefully he takes it easy. He's definitely deserved a few easier world title defences back in his hometown of Montreal after all that travelling to Romania and Quebec City. "You've got your world champions.. then you've got your top world champions like Lucian Bute."
Kessler or the winner of Froch vs Ward. TBH I would rather see him fight Dirrell than move up to LHW.
I see Bute having it easy against Pascal and Hopkins. The Dawson fight might be intresting, but I would rather he beat the top guys at SM first. Yeah I consider Dirrell a top guy, I had him beating Froch and the only guy I think would be a clear favorite against Dirrell at SM would be Ward.
i don't think we will see a Ward , Froch, or Kessler vs Bute fight in 2012 . Lucian will move up at LHW .
easy ?? .... don't think it would be so easy for Bute to beat Hopkins / Pascal . Dawson has a good style , similar to Dirrel , almost but Dawson is above Dirrel as talent and skills IMO !
I'm not so sure. Dawson has a reach advantage but I think Dirrell has the edge in speed and movement.Dawson also appears to have a problem staying active during rounds which just plain irritates me.
Bute should fight the winner of the super 6 at least before moving up... Unless he's got a legit reason for moving up... (cant make weight).. Needs to come out of Canada and make a big fight happen..
