    Bute should be willing to travel, but he shouldn't travel to make his first defence - it's just unfitting - and he certainly shouldn't travel to Germany, ever, unless he plans on KOing the guy and nothing else...we all know why, I think.;)

    :lol: I agree with the spirit of your post! he should fght the best! I would be very proud if he gave Mundne/Lacy a go in his frist defence, although I wouldn't expect him to go right for the top in his first defence (joe and mikkel excluded, of course)!:yep

    :D I do, but I think Germany has become more fair these last years. It was far worse when the good looking guy in my avatar was still active. ;)

    I don't doubt what you are saying, but still, travelling to Germany of all places for your first defence is a definite No, NO! Bute fights out of Montreal, not Galati - he shouldn't have to travel yet...Interbox are doing a great job of builidng up a boxing scene around Bute, Diaconu, Bergeron...why wreck the good work? To fight a fighter past his prime?

    I agree. Bute deserves to have his first defence at home, in Montreal.

    Vitaly Tsypko is his mandatory,isnt he?

    I would recomend Bute to travel over to Germany to showcase his skills there as the big bucks at his weight division are made in Europe and not in the USA or Canada.
    Robert Stieglitz would be a good opponent for Bute.
    Stieglitz is quite known in Germany,a decent opponent,but not really a top fighter.

    Let Tsypko come to Montreal!:nod

    Until Germany becomes whiter than white, no one should go there unless he really has to!

    Es ist nur recht und billig - das wollen wir doch mal klarstellen!;)

    Of course Tsypko will have to travel to Canada.He is no draw in Germany,and his promoter doesnt seem to be that fond of spending too much money on him.I like him,but have to admit that his style is rather boring and not really fun to watch.

    As for Germany a fighter fights wherever he can earn more bucks.Money is the name of this game,and every fighter tries to make as many bucks in as short as time as possible.
    Germany isnt as bad as its reputation.Have seen lots of fights in Germany,the Czech Republic,Belarus,England,and Spain.
    Of course a hometown boy is always favoured by the judges,but all in all Germany isnt the worst place for a fighter out there.
    Generally spoken, I for my part dont like the German fight crowds that much.
    They seldom support any undercard fighter,not even their own compatriots.
    What a difference-for example-compared with countries like the Czech Republic and Spain!
    I love the Czech Republic!
    Fight fans are always fair there,feverishly support their compatriots,and never shout abusive or offensive slogans.
    And unlike my Belarussian fellows they are still able to drive a car afer they have left the arena.Most Belarussian fight fans are totally drunk after 2 hourse of watching boxing.

    :lol: :good Yeah...crowds in Germany act as if they are at the Opera, but at least they are civilised and don't boo the opposition that much.

    I think a fight against Tsypko would be good but I don't think it will happen now.

    Tsypko is the highest ranked supermiddleweight in the IBF right and will most likely be Bute's mandtory unless there is another title eliminator in the near future.

    Tsypko would be an relatively "safe" mandatory challenger and fighting him now would only men having to fight a more dangerous madatory challenger in 9 months.

    In other words if Bute fights Tsypko now he's going to have to make his mandatory defense against someone else. I think.

    Andrade would be a big fig in Montreal since he retired good old Otis. A nice name on the resume and 12 rounds of looking good.

    Beyer is **** and a waste of time, he might as well beat up a 12 year old.

    Froch will probably want to wait until he is mandatory.

    Lacy would also be a nice win for him, my second choice after Andrade.

    I beleive Mundine to be out?

    Other contenders are pretty much on even grounds in my eyes.

    He should go to Germany and figth one of the smw there Stieglitz, Brahmer, Inkin or Larsen, why not Kessler went to australia for he's first defence against Mundine, if you think you are good go for the best!
