    A lot of people bashed Bute for not travel despite that was the decision of his promoter mainly.Bute suffered a great beating after he traveld as a champion in lion`s deN.NOONE OF FROCH, WARD OR KESSLER WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED THIS.

    Why noone comments Kessler fights Magee ?

    Come one, people I want threads on this.

    Kessler, the then champion and the biggest name at 168, travelled to Ward's hometown.

    Just sayin'.

    And Calzaghe's. So the two biggest fights in his career he fought in his opponents backyard.

    Great thread.

    Ward was unproved at the date. Kessler was ringside at Bute - Magee and after the fight as Larouche said he ran to catch the plane;).Now why he is so reluctant going in England?

    Laffie, you should be my side, shouldn`t you ? I knew that.But refusing fighting in Montreal, and at the moment, in England, should take us to a conclusion.The past can`t give you credit for all the rest of your carrier.

    So, you`re not dissapointed it`s not Froch - Kessler II, at least, not until now?

    I explained the Ward fight circumstance. Calzaghe was himself a proven champion despite he had one single belt at the moment , Kessler having two.The travelling in Australia was the single exception. MY POINT WAS IF WARD, KESSLER OR FROCH WOULD HAVE ACCEPTED WHAT BUTE DID IN HIS SITUATION?As facts indicate, NO.
    I think you didn`t catch the idea or you don`t want to let that to be seen.It`s not about travelling for having big fights.All challnegers, generally travel to have the biggest fights.It`s about travelling as a champion in the field of a very dangerous challenger willingly.

    Froch made his very first defense of his WBC title in USA against Taylor.

    Then he traveled to Denmark against Kessler.

    He fought Ward in USA for the final of the Super 6.

    And finally he'll travel to Canada for the Bute rematch.

    Froch 4 - 1 Bute

    (PS : I don't even count the many times he traveled without a title (Abraham, Johnson))

    You`ve got me with the Taylor fight.You can`t count the Kessler one.The match was arranged when both fighters were belt holders.You can`t count the final either cause wasn`t really in Ward`s turf and besides both, fighters had a belt.

    If you say Froch will travel in Canada this is funny.Cause this is contractual.
    This is exactly the point of my thread.Froch wouldn`t have traveled in Quebec if Bute wouldn`t have travel in his town first.

    So, Froch- Bute is 1-1 if you want to count correctly;).

    Wasn`t a fight Froch-Kessler II very much anticipated for this fall?Kessler team refused to go in Quebec and now England.Some explanations, please.

    Why Bute was bashed and Kessler is not?Bute had a belt at the time but Kessler`s team invoqued the money, Froch was in Denmark and has the belt now. SO ?

    Bute had an option on the rematch and took it
