    Good fight or not?

    Would Chavez Jr do better than Andrade did in the first fight?

    Or would it go a bit like the Andrade 2 fight...?

    Anyone want to see this fight?

    I don't think Bute would do as well as Martinez...

    This is the one guy that would be intresting b/c of Bute's chin. I still think Bute would take him out. His chin is good, Chavez, but getting hit by those big men is very different than middleweight.

    I think Bute wins...
    Knocks him out in the middle rounds or get saved by the ref in the 12th

    Bute is fighting Froch. In spring next year. It'd a done deal. Welcome to May 2012.

    But after that?

    Personally, I'd like him to fight Ward or Kessler. But that can only happen if he beats Froch, which is unlikely.

    I'd also very much like to see him against Dirrell. Again, unlikely to happen.

    So if these fights don't happen?

    Bute should move to 175lbs for a fight against Dawson or Hopkins or Pascal.

    But Chavez Jr at 168lbs would be a good fight too, I think.

    Good crossroads fight, however risky for Chavez more than it is Bute

    Bute is coming off a devastating KO loss to Froch after his first fight on foreign soil, he has nothing to lose and a big payday post Froch would mean everything to him

    HOWEVER

    Chavez although dominated salvaged some respect with the final round, so why would he go up in weight where his size advantage would be less of a factor when he can fight other people and win at 160?

    Besides not to mention the obvios fact this cant happen next due to Bute-Froch 2 a done deal (assuming both Froch and Bute get through their next fights) and Chavez likely to rematch Martinez

    LOL Lucien Bute is a far bigger puncher then Martinez and he is pretty big for the 168 lb division. He would ****ing T-off on Jnr way worse then Martinez did. Doubt the kid would see the final bell.
