    I don't think it's just Americans; I don't know Larsen either, because I'm new to the sport...Larsen took two years off, so...many people who are new to the sport will not have heard of him...:think

    larsen did not take all those years off through injury.
    he took them off because he was in a contract dispute with palle and it took all those years to be a free agent.

    thats why he never fought after haussler.

    and i never twigged you were josey wales and i read loads and loads of your posts on the australian forum.

    yeah...some Danish posters explained...

    I think this makes him underrated, because he isn't shot or even badly faded, like boxers who make a comeback from retirement...also, he will be fresher and less ground down than his age would suggest - that makes him underrated and dangerous, I think. No?

    The more I think about it, the less I see this fight happening due to the simple fact that it makes no sense.

    Fighting Larsen in Denmark will do next to nothing for Bute in terms of exposure, and he wont get the credit he deserves from it.

    Bad management imo. It's good to hear that they want to experience a "fighting in the lions den" situation, but surely theres more rewarding options out there?!

    Apart from impressing us lot, there wont be too many people that will rate bute's win, if he indeed does win.

    The Larsen from 5 years ago would be a very close fight. I think Bute takes this now on a clear points verdict. 117-111 or so.

    If Palle had any sensibility he would free them from contract - this kind of **** isn't the danish way.

    I have respect for all he has done over the years, making pro boxing possible in Denmark, but I wish he would give the reigns to Bettina... Or better yet - give me a call, and I will know how to handle TeamPalle.

    yeah, I thought I heard something like that before.

    Anyway, I'd like to see this fight happen, but I just can't see it happening at all, let alone in Denmark.

    The theory is that Bute doesn't have a choice to face Larsen.

    Larsen is promoted by Wilfred Sauerland. The same guy that was promoting Alejandro Berrio. We believe that Bute had to agree to defend the title against one of Sauerland's guys in order for Sauerland to let Berrio come to Montreal to defend his title. Bute and Interbox wanted the Berrio-Bute fight to be in Montreal al all cost so they agreed at the last minute to avoid the purse bid. Now it's time for Bute to honor that part of the contract.

    I'm guessing Interbox wouldn't agree to go to Germany so they will be making the fight in Danemark.

    No, but he should have released him as soon, as he didn't want him anymore in the stable - after the bad blood was created.

    Some thing for Rudy Markussen - He was a good SMW as well - don't know why he didn't want to fight last time(againstSergey Tatevosyan), since I only viewed half of that match. It was some weird **** though, as he was screaming "But I don't want to fight"... or something like that, while in the ring.
