Bute Kessler Froch Taylor Green Andrade Bika Miranda Zuniga Ward Dirrell Pascal These are not in order of ranking, but how many great match-ups can you make with these guys. An what the hell, make it double elimination, and let Smoger ref every freaking fight:bananamaniac
Bute finally deserves some respect if this fight comes into fruition. This is the first time i could really say " wow bute is in a dangerous fight here against someone who's actually capable " ... No more bikas and the Zunigas of the world.. He better hold his belt to sleep cuz his days are numbered.
Thanks for the insight onto the Bute-Andrade situation. Bute impressed me greatly with his classy show of support towards Andrade in Montreal earlier this year. There was a tremendous mutual respect shown between them after that fight, and it seemed like the rematch was imminent. Then I hear Bute is negotiating with Allen Green which was disappointing to say the least. Glad to hear that the rematch hasn't been forgotten about and is still on the books sometime in the future.
I'm surprised to hear this. An article in Quebec City's newspaper is giving a very different view of the situation. It basically says Green doesnt want to fight Bute anymore (for the third time lol) and Interbox is looking elsewhere now. They also said they are giving themselves 2-3 weeks to get this done. http://lejournaldequebec.canoe.ca/j...douceur/archives/2009/04/20090429-154055.html Who's right?
Green is a *****...Bute will smash him into pieces if he fight Bute SOMEDAY...Its been a long time now than Bute's management are gunning for this fight...
Interbox usually tells the plain truth or shut up. They don't use the medias to negociate. Interbox boss says in the paper that Showtime is backing the Green-Froch plan. He also says it's harder to find an opponent for Bute since the Zuniga fight. I suppose Green thinks he has more chances against Froch than against Bute.
Zuniga had a reputation for being double tough, and providing a good show and a hard nights work. Bute beat him up, took his lunch money, and sent him home! One can hardly blame Green if he thinks Froch is an easier fight than Bute.
Interesting............ The romanian press also has said the fight is all but signed these days. Don't know what to say then:think
Some guy on another forum said Interbox made an offer to Carl Froch and they are also talking with Oganov (???????). I have no idea if any of this is true. The guy didn't provide a source.
