Ward: Bute has been fighting B and C level guys - so was Ward.he has 1 single fight with a injured Kessler who he cheated and that's about it.he qualified in super6 semifinal by beating a club fighter who just fought in Bute's undercard.at least he should leave the **** talk about Bute to Froch,he is the better man with the better resume.but Ward?really?a hometown hero fighting Green and Bika is suddently accomplished?
What a fool Ward sounds. If you look at the original S6 line up, Froch will have fought them all at the end, Ward will have only fought 3 of them. Ward has been in his home country for all his fights, Froch has travelled for 4 out of 5 of them. Sure Ward has beaten Kessler which is a better win than anything Bute has, but thats it A Green isnt a big win and neither was A Abraham coming off of 2 clear S6 defeats. Bute beat Bika and Miranda clearer than Froch and overall has a better resume
Bute is the new Calzaghe, he's willing to make a career fighting tomato cans or fighters coming off losses in Canada. Hopefully, whoever wins the final coming up, doesn't go to Canada to make it happen. Surely Bute will be more interested in the loser of the fight.
If it wasn't for Kessler and Abraham, Froch and Bute could say the exact same thing to Ward. Fact is Kessler and Froch are the only super middleweight's around, who faced A level opposition.
Relax people... i think both s6 finalists are just paving the way forward... they both know next step after super6 is to fight Bute... and they both know ducking him will only mean they arent the true SMW champion.. i think Ward was only talking about how the money for the fight has to be splited... Bute has to take less.. while the s6 champ to take the lion share..
Bute has beaten exactly two fighters who are clearly better than Green. It's not as though fighters like Green are terribly below Bute's level of opposition. Abraham is a dangerous former titlists and better than all Of Bute's opposition, save perhaps Johnson. Bute gets a ton of attention for a guy who is no more proven than Tavoris Cloud.
Interesting observation. You mange to contradict yourself and you only wrote one sentence. You realize taking away a fighters two best wins is a pretty big "If"? Even without those wins Ward's resume shits on Bute's. Bute has allot of fans interested in him but it's time to leave the kiddie pool and retire the personal ref/body guard.
Bad comparison with Cloud. Why was he not able to KTFO Zuniga again?? 2 fighters better than Green? ...trolling, ignorance, mental disability?! Miranda, Andrade, Johnson, Bika, Berrio, some could even say Magee. I'd be curious to see how you'd argue that in Green's favor. Abraham had been exposed by both Dirrell & Froch has having huge trouble with movers, yet he landed the jab at a decent rate in the first 3 rounds vs Ward. GTFOH.
Coming into the Super 6 tournament, the 3 Euros were considered the most likely to win, while the 3 Americans were considered washed up or too inexperienced. Ward beat all 3 Euros convincingly. He's the fighter of the year in my opinion.
