Cut the dude some slack, he's only 20 degrees short from seeing the light. Some yoga and another Bute win by concussive KO are in order.
I was working like a mad man under a crazy deadline. Tomorow will be a hellish day again at work. I'm a bit tired.
I'm upset ... I was begging for like 20 hours for the next stills and now they are popping left and right.
If Bute gets the first shot at Ward, who will need who? What you don't understand is that Kessler's fame is something of the past. He has one big win in years: Carl Froch. That's all. Bouadla, Stieglitz, Haussler, Sartison, Perdomo, losses against Ward and Calzaghe. One big win in 4 years. As soon as Bute gets one, Kessler will have to prove himself as much as him. Johnson is not a big win enough but in March, Bute will have Froch, Ward, Kessler and maybe Dirrell to choose from. Kessler won't be the only top opponent available.
After November you'll see the promotors doing a big battle. It will be very interesting to see who gets who. It is possible that Bute will be left out again if say the s6 loser needs a longer break. Forget Direll BTW. He's not part of the equation.
Laffie.... look at the post just above yours by 'supiriorbeen'.. "Kessler is a *****.. bla bla". I think you are talking to haters like that... and the Kessler fans are talking to haters like that too... forgetting that really Bute and Kessler fans agree on most. Just forget these hating trolls. Then I think there is no double standard.
I think Bute has as just a good shot as the other top guys to get the big fights. But of course he needs to be real with his 'offers' and demands. Fingers crossed on that one....
Your right I really dont understand your logic. That would actually mean that Bute has no fame at all. He has not had a big win period! I actually think that you are being frustrated by the fact that Bute has troubles landing the big fights, and letting your frustration out on Kessler because of that. Kessler earned his rights the hard way, taking on challengers abroad, making fights happen. Bute? ehm not so much! But do not get me wrong... I actually like Bute and hopes to see him up against the best. The qoute about past fame is BS.
I don't get that who's-entitled-first-to-fight-ward nonsense. All homo reference set aside, it's like deciding between the blonde bombshell or the brunette hottie who's entitled first to blow my dick. Who cares who's first, have the best of both worlds. Share the ****.
sorry but I dont approve the emeritus stuff, the super champion trick, the diamond strap, etc. I think that if Froch wins the S6 Kessler will have the first shot and if Ward wins I think Bute will. But if some drama come between Froch and Ward it may be a rematch between them first.
Maybe you don't approve of the emeritus title, but the WBC has a history of approving it and frankly Kessler should be rewarded by volontarily giving up the belt in order for the supersix to keep credibility. Hell otherwise he could have had the strap still. Note also how these photos shows Kessler carrying the WBC belt alongside Stieglitz and his WBO belt: This content is protected
I wonder, was Kessler aware that he had 1 bad eye going into the S6 and chose to hide it from the doctors? Or did Showtime know about his condition?
