I am sorry to say, it will be like FLoyd and Pac. Don't think FLoyd will ever risk fighting Pac. Bute risks losing, and losing his "0", so I can see Bute fighting Froch, Kessler and others, and avoiding Ward like the plague, unless somehow he is forced to. But I think again he would rather give up any belts than face Ward. Bute might do better than Froch. Then again as some here say Librade beat Bute, and that is basically correct. OTOH, Bute seems to have gotten better since then. Back to Ward, he too seems to have gotten even better than ever. In the final analysis Ward seens to have too many ways to defeat people now. Ward could be champ for many years, or until someone like prime Roy or Calzaghe caliber comes along. Only thing Ward might improve is his stamina at the end.
1- Bute is eager to fight Ward, has said on numerous occasions. 2- Andrade beating Bute in the first fight is perpetuated bull**** from people that don't understand the rule per the end scenario. Anyways, Bute was seriously outboxing Andrade for the first 11 rounds of that fight even when he was asked not to make that fight due to serious anemia. The 12th round of that fight was the consequence of that risk being taken by a guy that didn't want to disappoint by reimbursing 15000 paying fans. 3- Everybody gets better, Bute like others.
he doesnt deserve a shot at ward yet if u ask me. he needs to fight the S6 loser then the winner of kessler and that other guy. then if hes victorious in those fights then we can talk about a bute vs ward fight
1. Floyd also supposedly says he wants to fight Pac. Will never happen. Re Bute v Ward, I won't believe it till I see it. 2. Never heard the anemia thing. And doubt it (or at least the severity, and don't they have to take blood tests), else he wouldn't have done well for most of 11 Rds. And I do know the rules, Bute lost.
If you never heard about Bute's disease before the Andrade fight, that means you know nothing about the story. And you obviously don't know the rules sir.
I think Bute will fight Ward, and I think Ward will take Bute to school. Just my honest opinion. :smoke
So food poisoning is a disease now? And rules don't apply if you have a disease? Got it, thanks for clearing that up. :nut
1- Fair enough for your opinion on that. 2- You obviously don't know what you're talking about here....By the way Bute won fair and square per the rules. With 4 seconds left he went down and was up by eight (in real time, therefore fight over) no matter how stupid the ref looks.
Read what I wrote re the anemia. Makes more sense than what u r saying. And everyone knows Bute lost the fight if the rules of boxing had been observed. That's why fight are hard to make. Each side knows there is going to be homecooking re refs and judges unless extraordinary measures are taken. With Bute and Ward, each side will not want to fight in the other's counrtry. But I don't see how it wouldn't be in the USA? I'd be happy to be proven wrong about Bute fighting Ward. If it ever happens, prob a better fight than Froch, but don't think Bute could live with Ward. Ward will do it whichever way he needs to: inside or outside, clean or dirty.
