    If Froch gets past Bute and looks good, I think he takes Kessler in the rematch.

    Bute will stop Kessler...

    Ward will beat Dawson and then take on Bute. Once he beats Bute he will probably move up.

    You are quite correct. Ward was desperate to find a world level opponent, and yet Dawson offers to drain himself instead of dragging Ward up to catch weight :patsch We will see Ward grapple an exhausted Dawson for twelve rounds. No way I am paying for that ****.

    Ward is possibly the only fight out there for Dawson that a network would show and pay him many hundreds of thousand dollars for.

    He should still have dragged Ward up in weight. A game Dawson vs Ward could have been a very intersting fight.

    Yes.

    Neither Dawson nor Ward have pleasing styles nor personalities. Neither is a draw and HBO/Showtime are not likely to want to pay for many fights with them.

    For Dawson.. Ward is probably the only fight.

    For Ward.. Kessler, Bute, and Dawson are probably he only fights that the America TV stations would pay big dollars for.

    Kessler, AA, and Froch.. an even to some degree Bute have it easier as they are all bigger draws and sell out crowds.

    Bute biggest pay was a little over 2 mil $ I believe so if Kessler can give him something of 2.5 - 3 mil $ I think he'll go in Danemark for Kessler, Bute is at an age that he only wants the big fights and the big paydays.

    Ward, not want to leave California might get in the way, and Dawson beating him first could as well.

    Just because Dawson called him out doesn't mean he has to at 168. And just because Dawson called him out, doesn't mean the fight will happen.

    I doubt Ward is scared of Bute. Bute and Dawson have different strengths. Dawson is bigger and faster, but Bute hits harder. Bute is a natural lefty, while Dawson is a converted southpaw. Bute has a better left hand, Dawson has a better right hand.
