    BlackBrenny beat me to it.

    Yes, Magee is not elite but he is deserving of his shot.

    I also disagree that he is past it. He is actually in the form of his life and a better fighter now than when he faced Froch.

    Saying that I still make Bute a heavy favourite

    He certainly knows his way about a ring. I didnt mean to say he was rubbish , solid euro level and maybe more , just a level below those other guys.

    Magee isnt on its own a terrible fight and I appreciatte Bute has troubles because of the Super 6. I just cant help thinking if I was a 30 year old ( soon to be 31 ) champ with the thin resume Bute has I'd be breaking my neck to get big names.

    Pavlik just got out of rehab , Kessler was first to get a call from Bute he said there's no way he's ready for a fight in March. IDK about Dirrell ... i think he's presumed dead or something . Dead in boxing I mean , or just heavily injured.:lol:

    Magee :
    “I’m always confident going into a fight. Bute has a good record – I have one myself – but at the end of the day, he’s just a man like me. I’ve only got one real defeat on my record – to Carl Froch – and look what he’s doing now!

    “I’ve turned things around since that defeat and managed to get back to where I believe I should be. I’ve got to make the most of it while I’m here and I’m enjoying it. Because of all the hard things I’ve had to go through, I appreciate it a lot more”.




    This reminds me a bit of Brinkley statements before the fight. He turned out to be in his best shape.But not enough to trouble Bute.

    Found the bigger article I was talking about.

    Magee:

    “I feel now that I have the chance of a lifetime to fight the best super-middleweight in the world at a time when I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m more of a real fighter and I’m ready to go and grab the title.”

    “Some will probably say that Carl Froch is the best in the world, but I think he probably just pips Froch.

    “I’m twice the fighter I was when I fought Froch for the British title. A re-match with him would be a great fight if I can come through against Bute.

    They're all recovering from injuries/illness and would need an easy fight to get back on track before taking on Bute anyway...

    ...Bute has a very busy schedule coming his way after Magee. Whether it's Kessler, Dirrell, Pavlik, Johnson or even a reborn Taylor fighting him later on this year, it won't be a Calzaghe-esque defence. Next up will either be another former S6 player, or the actual S6 winner. At age 33-34, his resume will look entirely different than it looks now, trust me. :good

    Listen, cause we`re born in the same year and the same month an have both college education I`ll not be so hard with you.

    ~So you live in Canada and probably you root with Ward.I suppose you`ll be happy if you`ll go one year from now home in MSG to see Bute-Ward.

    I must inform you since you have I suppose 20 years of formal education (same as me) that Romania comes from Rome (the glourious ancient city) and not from Roma population or pikey as you say.In etimology this is what you call a `false friend`. Romania has no more than 2,5% pikey pupulation (originary from India these people look like Amir Khan, having much darker skin coulour than American Pikey or any other gypsey). So it`s easy to make the difference between Roma population and Romanian population which is Caucasian and the descendents of the old people of Thraciens from north of Danube or Dacians.

    Lucian Bute is a Romanian native not pikey.

    Finish please the stupidity of Super Six fighters mark.When the tourney has had begun Lucian Bute has had already one year of championship.Ward, Direll were no more than aspirants that time, Abraham had no SMW resume that time,Taylor being a looser.The only ones who could have thoughts of challengig Bute status were Kessler and Froch that time.

    Let`s see the situation now:

    Abraham is seen a loser against Bute even from his fans.
    Direll is out.He didn`t make a real statement.He was battered back against both Froch and Abraham.Even if he could win with Froch, he could lose with Abraham also.
    Green has lost to both Miranda and old Johnson.But Bute has to fight a Super Six fighter to prove something, right?
    Kessler is seen by few excepting his fans capable of beating Bute.

    Froch has indeed a better resume but Ring and others sees Bute ahead.

    Ward is the single one seen as capable of beating Bute but in a very tighjt fight.

    So, how remains with Super Six Fighters mark ? Expired sintagma.

    No, but they were both up and coming prospects and Ward was a Gold medal winner. Bute has been around for years and has STILL yet to fight a world class opponent and ALWAYS fights on home ground.

    Magee is sore that Froch knocked his arse out and is talking crap.

    That guy is a ****** but he's not ******ed enough to believe Bute is a real ''Pikey''. A guy doing the detailed history of ethnic Romanians was a little bit too much, but that's what make it funny.:D
