Bute, is the best supermiddleweight in the world, but his trainer is clueless when talking about Kessler. Kessler, in his prime would beat Bute and still would have a chance, now.
Stange De La Hoya = Never fought outside of US Maywheather = Nerver fought outside of US Jones Jr = Fought outside of US late in his carreer only Calzague = Fight outside of his country late in his career. Bute is 31 he has plenty of time to fight in the US or outside For the moment, the money is in MONTREALLLLLL
and BTW Stephan Larouche his trainer Maybe the most underrated coach in boxing today. I take Larouche way before Emanuel Steward - and even Freddie Roach....way before. He built Eric Lucas from nothing. Talk to Bute about Larouche and tell him that Roach is available...you will see. Bute would choose Larouche any day of the week. Jean Pascal did a major mistake to not work with Larouche Samething for David Lemieux. Russ amber has a bigger name than Stephan Larouche but in fact Amber is not in Larouche's league
By your defintion Bute also travels if he has to go to Quebec. That's not how I see it. Facts are that Bute will not come to Europe. Good luck in securing Froch, Kessler or Ward in a neutral US venue and don't be dissapointed when it doesn't happen and Bute rematches the dangerous Brinkley instead.
And, AND, both Kiltschkos make a lot of money fighting out of Germany but are not ready to risk fighting in their opponents backyards.
LOL wow Bat you've reached low, low levels with this comment full of hatred... I don't want to start fires with fello canucks, but Québec was declared a nation by our prime minister. Bute is living in a culture that's light fukkin years away from Vegas or LA. If you're from QC and land downtown NYC, it's usually a pretty big shock. A major Bute fight at MSG would be everyone's #1 event on the year's calendar. MSG brings a lot of the QC gate numbers, and symbolizes the US as well. That's where Bute could fight Ward, or one of Froch/Kessler if Showtimes acknowledges the financial advantages associated with NYC/MSG. Timezone effect too, as EST is a good baseline for PPV's. Showtime runs the show dude, and they have high expectations in regards to all of them, Ward/Froch/Kessler/Bute, all related to a number of major fights they have in mind. Sauerland cryin wolf? Feel free to come up with more money than QC/NYC gate + Showtime PPV $ and offer it to Froch or Ward, but that's what will be at stake in any Bute fight vs the rest of the top 4. And there's talks of having a major fight outside..?! Gotta get to that other thread now lol.
I think I answer in the thread in p. 4 I made about the kind of things they are willing to say at this time. I know they didnt say they will fight to europe, but they didnt say they will not either. And if Larouche right now would be saying: "We plan to fight Kessler in Danemark, the fight promoted by Kessler's team and we want 50/50" he would be the laughing stock of boxing. Another example, they never said that they want to fight Andre Direll, so by your logic it means that he dont want to. But later (last week) we learn that Direll is not making any fight because he cant have any tv deal... So the rumor that Direll is on the black list of tv network must be true. So no Bute is not ducking Direll and so the logic by which Bute is not saying he will fight in europe cannot mean that he will never fight in europe...
You dissapoint me Bat, but i think it's only the hate that's blinding you...Bute vs Froch, Bute vs Ward and even Bute vs Kesller (if fit and i hope at his top shape) will happen in 2012-2013 for sure...for one reason mainly and the most important------> $$$$$$$$$$ If by then Bute's stature in world boxing goes down, the fights with Froch/Kessler will most probably take place somewhere in EU No matter how good/bad Bute will be in the next 2years, Ward will have to go by him because of USA vs CAN money milking by the promoters...where??? no other place than the land of the showbizz, and I believe you can put this fight anywhere in the US, even in Iowa and make tons of cash So Bat.....remember this simple logic, if Bute will be worst than today he will go in 2012-2013 in EU to try redeem himself and for sure the others will try make deals with him to put his name in their CV's...if he will be better then today ( one more belt maybe)...then no choice for anyone but to fight him Bat, my friend you will be wrong anyway...your thinking doesn't work too good when Lucian's name comes in your mind P.S. I hope you'll stick around on esb in 2012-2013 and do not even think of making an alias as you'll most definetly be the mocking of all Bute's fans because those fights will happen:yep
Big Bute fan here...but i don't agree he's the best smw in world...we'll find out who's the best in next 12 months for sure...and his trainer is not clueless but cunny...by trying to get Kessler out of his shell and stir up a fight soon enough i hope...for the dane...but tito i do agree with you with you will the last part though
If one thinks Larouche seriously believes what he says in regards to 'Europeans being afraid of getting into wars, prefers fighting forward and backward', they got fooled. He's way smarter than that. Kessler's "1 Danish Krone offer" story probably got to their ears at some point. If they indeed offered 1.35M to Pavlik, WTF was Kessler gonna get, total?!?? 2-3M?
