Lucian Bute: A Joke, A Ducker

I repeat: you are wrong. Dawson has warned Pascal that he wants his ematch. Dawson had a rematch clause in his contract, Hopkins didn't.

Pascal-Dawson is the next fight happening.

Failed.

 

Andrade and Brinkley were top ten, but it's disappointing that he doesn't fight a top 5.

 

Agree its better than Magee but even Cloud fight would be a joke.

 

Bute will remain in his comfort zone for as long as possible. He's making good money but he's a vagina.

 

Tavoris CLoud is not in the same division.

Keep hating.

 

Don Majeski, an American booking agent and matchmaker, made it abundantly clear the 35-year-old Magee, a southpaw like Bute, was the best available contender.

Majeski said an offer of $400,000 was made to Dimitri Sartison, the WBA champ, who would also have received all revenue from German pay-per-view television. When that failed, InterBox offered $500,000 to World Boxing Organization champ Robert Stieglitz, since he’s not involved in Showtime’s Super Six tournament. Majeski said he never heard back from Andre Dirrell, who’s rated first by the WBO, second by the WBA and third by the IBF.

According to Majeski, the only time Bute has been offered a fight outside Canada came in 2008, which would have put him against World Boxing Council 168-pound champ Carl Froch. But Bute was obliged to make a mandatory IBF defence and Froch has since become involved in the Showtime event.

“The best fighters are never available,” said Majeski, the disappointment in his voice evident. “Magee’s a live fighter. He wasn’t picked because there are 10 better. He wasn’t picked because he’s the easiest. He’s the best available who doesn’t hold a belt, and that’s not hyperbole.”
