He he com out and said that? Last I heard he though he wasnt ready for him. I hope he is ready now as it would be an excellent fight.
He said he wants any big fight:Taylor,Pavlik etc but he said he wants to unify with Kessler next year if all goes well for both men
He could beat Taylor and Pavlik. He has more power than either and those 2 guys have shown they can hurt each other. Not saying he'd start favourite, but he could win. Kessler would be harder for IMO.
That would be nice to see. Its odd that Bute was so honest about Kessler. He wasnt ready for him and instead of running his mouth he said as much. Not many fighters would do that.
Bute is A class guy,he looked like he was friends with Andrade at the presser,maybe with a little smack talk he could get more exposure but he ain't that type of guy:thumbsup
From what I have seen, Froch has good power, but I wouldn't say it's better than Pavlik's. Also, in the fight I saw, Froch seemed relatively easy to hit, and he wasn't in with a top guy. Of course, that's why these questions get settled in the ring. I'd like to see Froch step up his level of competition so I could get a better read on him.
I'll believe it when I see it. Two other belts are going to be held by weak titlists, and Jermain Taylor would still be a bigger money fight if he's chasing the dollars (unless the US dollar continues to drop in relation to the Euro).
He just said that he wants big fights like Taylor,Pavlik etc but if he would to unify he would want Kessler,that's all:thumbsup
In that case. how about Bute vs Froch, and the winner Gets Kessler ( assuming he'll win next fight ) ???????
Froch is a very good fighter, but needs to do more than beat opponents who have obtained a speeding ticket on the way to the arena having been called up on a day's notice.
