I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't want to see this. I'm sure it would fill a stadium in Canada - although I'd rather see them fight at 175 than a catchweight.
If it is not for a title, sure, why not. I would watch it. But it would be better for Bute to go for the title. What's a few extra pounds when you have a chance at The Title. He can win that pretty Ring Belt. Better for promotion as well. There should be a rematch between Dawson and Pascal if they can fit it in though. Get that over with and then the winner fights Bute or whoever else. I just think Champions deserve rematches.
Pascal was ripped and was around 187lbs or something yesterday reportedly by HBO if i remember that right. Pascal already lost to Froch at 168lbs and a catchweight it would be a disadvantage for him. so 175lbs or **** off I think Bute beats him at 175lbs too. theres no need for a ****ing catchweight
Interesting fight but I'd rather see unification. Pascal said that Bute must first call him out. Pascal also that he wants to invade the USA. Well guess what? Tavoris Cloud has called the Canadian out publicly on both radio and T.V. Cloud's wins over Woods, Gonzales, and Johnson are way better than Bute's wins or his upcoming fight against Jesse Brinkley. Dawson is the one calling out Bute and since Bute only fights contenders with losses why not a Bute/Dawson and Pascal/Cloud showdown in Canada? It would give fighters and most fans just what they have been asking for.
there is a need for a '****in' catchweight as bute never fought there before and might be too small, pascal can do with losing a few more lbs anyway.
What Bute never fought there before? its his natural weight you dont know **** either Bute fights him at 175lbs or he gets his job at 168lbs done first and moves up later. I wouldnt rate a win over Pascal at some shitty catchweight as hes the champ at 175lbs and nowhere else. 17 weight classes are more than enough. There is never a need for that bulli****.
sorry i dont have boxrec on hand each time i make a comment but anyways everyone in bute's division is busy right now so theres no one there and why is catchweight bull****? bhop, pernell whitaker and sugar ray leonard can do it why cant bute? i'd rather see the fight happen then no because i love boxing (dont know about you) and no one is making any new weight classes thats why its called 'catch' weight, you know when 2 fighters agree to fight between their divisions? now get my hard **** out of your ass and relax:hey:hey
Bute-Pascal would be a huge fight in Quebec...doesn't need to be for a title. BYW...I love the Tecate girls, but those French Canadian honey's are the BEST!
Fight at 175. Bute is 6'2, Pascal is 5'11. Pascal cant get down to 168, I reckon he'd sturggle getting to 172. Pascal has 3 belts including the lineal belt at 175. Bute has 1 belt at 168. It makes sense only for this fight to be at 175.
the reason i want it to be at a catchweight is because i want to see bute fight the super 6 guys, if he moves up and wins the title he may never return and some of the super 6 might never go up in weight.
Pascal was even gassing at 175lbs either Bute fights him at the legit weight where Pascal is stronger than on any weight below and lands a huge win or he has an advantage which takes a lot away from him. Its not that Bute had to add weight or something I dont know what part of that causes your pacstard catchweight guru mind the trouble. Bute is going to fight Brinkley in October after that he could also fight Dirrell rather than Pascal after Ward kicked him out of that tournament.
