    .............as I've said all along!! :happy:happy:happy

    Quote from interview with Showtime's Ken Hershman in this week's Boxing News.

    Regarding the SuperSix........

    BN. Was Lucian Bute ever considered?

    KH. He may have the words but he's never shown any real interest in taking those tough fights.He can just keep on doing what he's doing up in Canada. The field is just as tough without him. We've heard a lot of talk from Bute's team, but no action

    :lol::lol::lol:

    You have some sort of obsession with Bute...:lol:

    Don't worry, if he keeps eating his wheaties, it's only a matter of time before Froch climbs the latter to be within the top 3 P4P fighters..:cool:

    Of course he's going to say that. Showtime are going to look like **** if people find out they never invited Bute, which they didn't.

    The whole concept of it was too invite 3 Americans and 3 Europeans. If they take out Taylor for Bute, it's unbalanced and doesn't appeal as much to the American market. And there's no way they were going to not invite Abraham, Kessler and Froch.

    He openly admitted they didn't invite Bute, and as I have been saying for some time, it was because they didn't think he had the bottle to accept three tough fights, two of which could possibily be away from home.

    t's nothing to do with being a 'hater', simply a matter of setting the record straight and confirming what I suspected all along, has now come right from the horse's mouth

    he knows Bute would dismantle his boy Froch... and David UK is feeling a bit insecure about it, so he comes on here and posts bull crap to make him self feel better about the situation

    Strange they invite Pascal after he captured the LHW championship, but not Bute.

    Bute is the best SMW anyways.

    Maybe he would, but he lacked the bottle to try which says a lot about Bute, who prefering to fight Andrade instead,at home, a fighter who Bute knew he had the measure of despite a last round scare in the first fight.

    And I'm very happy about the situation.........Froch is in the Super Six and has a good chance of progressing. Bute is on the outside looking in and going nowhere as a consequence. The SuperSix is the only 168 show in town

    after Kessler and AA KO's Froch and after Froch gets outboxed again by dirrell and after Ward Schools him , then maybe Bute may give him the time of day

    so you're confirming that someone else didn't think bute would say yes so he didn't bother inviting him?:huh how's that look bad on bute? that's one moron's opinion, who didn't have the brains to invite the, at WORST, third best super middle at the time to a super middle tournament.

    Bute was not invited because Showtime knew he was a bottler, NOT that they invited him and he said no. This is straight from Hershman in this weeks Boxing News
