    Bute will find himself in deep water against Froch. Infact I wouldn't be suprised if Bute pulls out citing injuries

    Neither do I. It's more of a personal wish, nothing more. I would also like Bute to rematch Bika. It would have been a much better fight than vs. Mendy. But of course, it would have been nothing more then a high risk/low reward match.

    I won't miss that fight, that's for sure. I'm almost certain that they will go the full 12.

    Magee already gave Carl one of his toughest fights of his career. What makes you think he won't do it again?
    I mean I can understand that people don't agree with me but not to the extent that they find it proposterous.
    You'll see how funny you are when guys like Magee, Bika and Stieglitz will get bombarded with offers from the former S6 top participants.

    We are talking about completely different levels of opposition here. Froch has fought the elite and shown he belonged among them and he has done it via an unprecedented tough string of opponents by todays standards.

    Whenever Magee has fought to that level he has lost.

    There's a big difference between looking great against clubfighters and looking great against the elite.

    Because it's a pointless fight that would be completely irrelevent, against a guy that Froch already KTFO. 'oh but he won't be ktfo' this time because he knows how to not KO by Carl this time, yer whatever.

    Carl is a class above magee, and potential rematch against them shouldn't even be discussed. it is completly irrelevant

    Did you watch the same fights I did ? I'm a fan of both fighters, but to say that Froch is quicker and more skilled is ridiculous. If he wins, it will be because of his heart, high work rate, good chin and capacity to adapt. He's the underdog here and you may say what you want about Bute's opposition but Bika, Johnson, Andrade and Magee are/were ranked heavyweight. The same kind of opposition that Martinez is beating at MW and stupid/uninformed people are blaming him for.

    The fact is, you don't need to be a big name to be a top fighter. Magee was way better than Johnson, at this stage of their career and Bika is a tough fight for anyone.

    When did Magee had the chance to participate at an elite level, except his shot at Bute? Are you sure Froch will look better than Magee against Bute?

    Carl had a great management team and appetite for glory. I'm not calling him lucky because it's not about that. But we must admit he had things working for him, if you understand what I mean.
    It could very well have been Bika in his place if he had the same attitude and management team.

    I believe that, for some, things don't work out because of those in his enturage or their attitude, even if they show great potential. Like in the music industry. The best voice out there ain't necesarelly heard on radios all over the world because that voice hasn't been promoted well enough, either as a lack of money, unpopularity, bad attitude of the singer etc..

    Can someone please explain me why the fact that Bika looked better than Froch against Ward is overlooked? Who was Ward's toughest opponet 'till date? I'll get back to this if Froch looks worse than Bika vs. Bute.
    Magee's carrer took a decisive turn as soon as he lost to Carl. That fight screwed him forever. Same with Taylor. Even if there's a thin line between them, one is a bum and the other an elite fighter. I find unfair this huge discrepancy between the perception of their status/glory and what they actually showed in the ring.

    PS: IMO the other 2 guys that beat Bika could also beat Froch. Not only that but I think they will look better in achieving that than against Bika.

    It is a pointless fight for Carl now (not irrelevant, however).
    The funny thing is I expect both to fight each other soon enough. If Carl loses to Bute he will probably think at a "tune-up" fight. I know Carl won't fight a nobody, even if it's a tune-up so Magee's name might just pop out of nowhere :D. Don't say I didn't warn you.
    I'll just wet my pants if it's Bika as I have great desire for that fight.
