    Anthony Dirrell = WBC mando.

    Kessler = busy with Stieglitz.

    Froch = "they would like an American"

    Abraham = see Froch

    ...

    That's about it for the non-probabilities with this new info. Curious to see how many haters will vote Allan Green. :yep

    Love how you need to mention that Dirrell doesn't sell, yet NOTHING was written about Allan Green, as if he's a more worthy challenger of the IBF title.

    You're an apologist ****.

    I'm kind of surprised Showtime is passing on this. The Home & Home gimick was a good one in my opinion. I do think Ward should be willing to face Bute, even though despite being a great talent is somewhat unproven. It looks like Bute's Mandatory is Pablo Farias

    Lave it for later. I'm guessing showtime are kind of desperate to get their investment prize in Ward vs Bute.

    ****... they rejected it? WTF, it would make a great fight - or at least have the potential to be a great fight. I'm very disappointed.

    I had the false impression Showtime wanted the best fighting the best.

    Johnson, Magee and even ****ing Mendy was on Showtime, why couldn't one of the Dirrell brothers make it too? As SHO mentioned, they want an American fighter.

    Both Dirrell brothers qualify, yet its the same ****ing excuses from all you Bute fans over and over.
