lucian bute vs joe calzaghe

i think bute would definitely be one of the toughest fights joe's had, but i do agree with all of you he is not ready yet.

bute vs peter manfredo jr. would be a good draw and would get bute alot of recognition. even though bute probably ko's him.

I'm only saying it's a backwards step because if Bute fought Andrade now, he won't get any credit for it. I wanted to see these two fight and would of preferred to see them fight before Andrade-Kessler. It would of been a good fight between 2 undefeated up and comers.

As it stands now though. Bute's on the verge of a title shot while Andrade is recovering from a beating. Bute would further increase his standing by fighting Berrio, which as you said, is for the IBF. That's his best route to go as it will get him more recognition and earn him more money, should he win.

Froch, Mundine, Inkin ,Beyer and even Lacy are his other best options. They may be hard to make, but if he was to win the IBF, they'd be a lot easier.

Andrade needs another win or two to get his reputation back on track. Most people gave him credit just for having an iron chin after his fight with Kessler. If Bute was to fight him now, too many people would be critical of it. Andrade would be better off going for Reid, Catley, Larsen or Tyspko. Good fights and very winnable for him.

Well I was think of which fighters could develop Bute - not just give him a name on his record. For that purpose Andrade would do good for the reasons mentioned above.
