    Looks like there are serious talks going on to get one of the Dirrell bros to fight Bute, maybe Andre next year or Anthony this fall. I know most of you don't like Andre on this forum but the mans got skills and he would put on a clinic for Bute, show him what boxing is all about, being that Detroit can't draw many seats unfortunately a fight in Canada is a must, put that **** on Showtime please.

    Anthony Doesn't deserve it. Andre is okay. He could put on an okay fight. Either would get scrapped.

    Jesse Brinkley, Brian Magee and Jean Paul Mendy did though, right?

    They are both good fighters and I'd rather see either than another Miranda.

    true Bute has faced way too many tomato cans. so apparently knocking out bums gets you ranked 3rd in supermiddle weight rankings

    Well, Mendy was his mandatory. (actually, I think Brinkley was as well.)

    Excellent fight for Bute if its Andre... but let's wait and see... Bute's people don't really have a track record of making good fights happen....

    and this is Bute's fault for ??? he should have given his belt to Mendy cause he isn't worthy to fight him?

    Anthony Dirrell is one of the best prospects in 168, but he's still a prospect. Anthony isn't ready, it would be a big step up for him. Anthony needs to fight a top 15 opponent.

    IMO I think Anthony will eventually be better than his brother.

    Disagree.

    Slow, slow, slow. Ordinary.

    Never fought anybody nearly as good as Arthur Abraham.

    We'll see.
