    All the best he beat are Kessler and Froch. Both great fighters, but both come forward guys who work off the jab.
    Both are better than Andrade, no doubt, as Andrade is a more powerful, harder chinned version, but more limited version of them. Judging from Bute's wins over Andrade, and Carls susceptibility to the CP, there's only one conclusion/prediction for me to come to in a Bute Froch/Kessler fight(s). Bute by T/KO.
    Point being, subjectively speaking, Bute beats them more decisively, IMO.

    And let's not talk about LOC. Taylor, Green, Abraham....none of them are on even Magees level. Once upon a time, Taylor was thought to be the best in the world, but those days ended when it was shown how badly he fades late in fights. Bute fought the very best competition available to him while Ward was busy protesting his inclusion into the tournament he was excluded from simply due to contractual obligations. :deal

    Ward is the Ring mag champ and number 2 in the world. Bute cant even get a American TV date. Bute is fighting Ward's left overs not once but twice

    Ward can fight Magee without being a ducker. But if he fails to sign to fight Bute, Tony D or Stevenson after Magee, Lucian should petition to fight for the vacant WBC title IMO, and Suleiman should MAKE it happen for the sake of the sport.:hey

    Damn ,Sidious, you sure hate Ward:lol: Magee , the Dirrel bros and others are all available for Andre. I understand K-bros for not fighting eachother , but not wanting to fight 2 top10 contenders (according to BGirl's ratings) claiming they are close friends of yours is bull**** storie made for naive people to believe.
    Seems like Ward finds himself in the same situation Bute was during the Super hyped tourney , having little options left for him , now that Kessler fights at LHW.

    Look, in the case of Ward and Bute, you people need to stop with the ‘ducking’ talk. Both sides. Ward has just finished with the tournament and will understandably take a nice little tune-up/easy payday. Bute, while he’s waiting for that, is doing what’s required of him and fighting the other super six finalist.

    Let’s just wait for these to be done with before deciding who’s ‘ducking’ who (not that we’ll even need to do that). Both men do want to fight each other. It’s just a matter of when. And since they’re not going anywhere (still comfortably enjoying their prime years), we’ve got no reason to not be patient and wait for it to develop a little more.

    Ward's options ended since Kessler moved up at LHW and fights with Green !:yep

    Ward fears of a possible second fight between Bute & Froch in Canada due the huge audience&money that could bring this rematch there !:yep


    So , in the meantime Ward could take his mandatories ( Anthony and Brian ) and defend his titles !:yep ......... or fight with his closest friend Andre ( The Matrix ) Dirrell !

    Look, maybe Ward feel Anthony Dirrel his is dearest friend, but I'm pretty sure Dirrel dont feel the same. From Anthony Dirrel perspective, his dearest friend (Ward) dont want to give him a title shot. With friends like these...

    Your logical intelligence is questionable. Read my post again. Where did I say Ward was a favorite... or any of the other stuff? I pointed out a semantic aspect. Quit being a whiny *****... bro...

    Ward is pathetic. A joke. Who does he want to fight?
