Pascal just said he didn't want Bute now. He wants some easy fights first. Hopkins is still under an HBO contract. I guess those fights won't happen but not for the reason you imply. Dirrell is a possibility but only if Ward and Froch refuse the fight.
The weight is not that much of an issue, if terms for money and location can be agreed. Bute would not fight pascal regardless...at this point he has alot to lose.... And Pascal's name is being mentioned because he has been campaigning for a Bute fight since he beat Chad Dawson in 2010... in his own words "Bute Grow Some Balls Man!"
I didn't imply anything Laffie.I'm trying to have a reasonable discussion so don't start with the accusations already. I didn't imply anything.Read my posts please.
As I said in a previous post, Pascal always calls bute when he is not available and this time, he said he would not face him now. Pascal is the one not wanting the fight. What happened to his balls? The timing is not at its best anyway. Pascal lost his belt and Bute has things to do at SMW. Ward and Froch are the fighters he wants. Not Pascal or Dirrell. Do you see a problem in Bute targeting Ward or Froch?
Just as long as he stops hiding in Canada and takes on bigger challenges instead of defending his 'world' title against b level cab driver type fighters then it's ok with me. About time he came out of his protected little world.
Who says the winner will be available? Do you know this for a fact? If Ward wins his Trainer and mangement have already stated that they will not necessarily be rushing to fight anyone, after a TWO YEAR TOURNEMENT FIGHTING THE BEST AT 168 lbs....There will be a need for recovery....INSTEAD OF FIGHTING SOMEONE WHO IS FRESH...AFTER BEATING SECOND TIER OPPOSITION.... If Froch wins or loses he will be willing to fight Bute right away, so if Bute wants it he's got it
Well I've been told by some of your compatriots that a Pascal fight is impossible right now because of promotional issues. Also Bute doesn't want to go to LH so that rules Hopkins out. I don't know about Dirrell but was referring to fighting all three. Is that OK? Not that I require your approval,you just don't like me saying anything,true or false,right or wrong.
Maybe everyone trying to be their wn promoter, because they know how corrupt boxing is. With refs in the promoter's hands. Bute might know something about this. Unlike FLoyd-Pac which I think may will never happen, when all is said and done, probably Bute will fight Froch, Ward, Kessler, etc. WIth the one(s) he thinks he will have the easiest time, first.
Ward faced Bika, Green and Abraham. I'm sorry but they are not the best of the division. That'S second tier opposition all right. That sounds like an excuse. Froch can say that, I'll give him a break, he did have a tough tourney. Ward will have faced 2 tough opponents in more than 2 years. That's not so tough. He was in no war either so he's fresh himself.
Can't wait to see Bute in with the S6 lot, there's some potential for some great fights there. Bute has big following in canada, I don't blame him for wanting to milk that for a while before stepping up to the big boy plate.
If you were meaning fighting all three, I agree it is impossible. Anyway, Pascal doesn't want Bute, Hopkins is with HBO. That leaves Dirrell, who is Interbox third choice, after Froch and Ward.
