    What makes you say that Hendo? Come on man, I thought you knew better than to hate on a boxing warrior like Mikkel.

    He fought 3 of his 4 biggest fight away.

    Calzaghe in Cardiff
    Ward in Oakland
    Froch in Denmark
    Mundine in Australia

    Give the man some props mate, he always comes to fight, how can you dislike him for that? :think

    Kessler is alright, but I don't think he can beat Bute.

    Well, we'll probably find out knowing Kesslers warrior heart and spirit, he'd go to Montreal with one eye and fight Bute with 3 romanian judges and a Canadian referee.

    The real question is, when is Bute at 31 ever going to step up? He's held the belt hostage in Canada for 4 years!

    The biggest gamble Bute ever took was leaving Montreal and Bell Centre for Pepsi Coliseum in Quebec city. :rofl:rofl:rofl

    I think Bute is being underestimated. I know that he tends to rely on his uppercut a little too much and tends to neglect setting up other punches, but you can't argue that it hasn't been effective recently.

    He's also relatively hard to hit due to his length and boxing IQ more than his reflexes, and he has reasonably quick hands and maybe the best power out of the Super 6 aside from Abraham.

    I don't think Kessler matches up well with Bute.

    In fact, Bute is a hard matchup in my opinion for everyone in the Super 6, including Ward and Froch. Right now, those might be 50/50 fights.

    To be honest, I think Dirrell is the worst matchup for Bute and COULD easily beat him by outboxing him, but I wouldn't bet on it because I'm not sure Dirrell is there mentaly at this point.

    If Pavlik does well on the comeback trail, I would like to see him and kessler meet if a weight could be agreed on

    Kessler's got heart no doubt about that, but I think Bute beats him
    just out of being smarter in the ring. And then he's better in every other department too

    If it makes Froch stop saying 'I retired Kessler' then I'm onboard!
