Last week, I was at the public workout before the Bute vs Miranda fight, I had the great chance to exchange with Mr Christian Ganescu, president of Gankor Group, Bute's agent and close friend. I asked him about the next possible opponents for Lucian. My first question was about a matchup against Pavlik, his answer was quit clear, they don't want anything to do with Lucian. Pavlik will stay at 160 as long as possible. Then, I asked him about a possible unification in Romania with Stiglitz. MR Ganescu's answer was that Sauerland would never give Stiglitz's belt to Lucian, so this is also out. The next guy is talked about quit a lot these days, old Hopkins....witch could be done. I was running out of options when Mr Ganescu brought Calzaghe's name. At first, I taught no way he is reteired. Then I started to imagine Joe's comeback in his backyard outside at a football stadium, or here in Montreal, or in Vegas. Seems like Calzaghe is really looking at a comeback this year. I guess he's sick of Froch.....

Anyway, would that fight mean something or Bute absolutely have to wait for Super Six to exit their first non finalists ?

The video of Bute's response when he found out Pavlik was down 4 rounds to zip seems to contradict some elements of your post.

Furthermore, if Slappy Joe came out of retirement, Lucian would absolutely be the wrong fight. Joe would need at least one tune-up, if not two. Same deal with KP. If he moves to 168, he'll need a couple fights before he is anywhere near ready for Bute.
