    If

    Yes if Bute beats Froch with great fashion in May...

    do you think guys that a fight in fall between Lucian Bute & Andre Ward could be the best P4P fight.

    Because honestly. Pacquiao is past his prime. Pacman was not the same in his last few fights and Floyd is turning 35 soon.


    Lucian Bute is at his prime at 32 and Andre Ward is reaching is prime at 28.

    Ward is better than Bute but Lucian could hurt him with an uppercut.

    The only time that Ward has been hurt in his career is with an uppercut..

    Bute-Froch is a two fight contract, they fight in Nottingham and then in Canada later in the year.

    So unless Bute obliterates Froch forcing him into a scenario in which he does not want to fight him again Bute-Ward does not happen this year.

    There will be a rematch only if Froch comes out victorious of their first fight

    Better is a vague qualifier.

    Ward is more well rounded, more skilled defensively, stronger on the inside, has more fluid footwork and is a tad quicker than Bute... IMO.

    I'm thinking Prada shorts and Armani boots.I'm thinking black and gold with silk tassles.I see polka dots(and no guys,Froch won't be seeing them.Easy to take that out but I'm game for a rebuttal!)
    The possibilities are endless girls.:yepWork with me here...:good

    it's a top p4p fight no doubt

    but there are some bigger P4P fights
    like Pacman vs Marquez 4 or Chris John vs Orlando Salido or
    Guerrero vs Gamboa

    If Bute will beat Froch in great style then Ward-Bute ( if Floyd vs Manny bout don't happen ) would be best the p4p fight in 2012 , as you mentioned :yep

    I hope that Ward will take the fight against Bute in Vegas / N.Y and won't put that bull**** condition like : "Bute has to prove himself against Andre Dirrell" .

    Ward is supposed to have one more fight on his Showtime contract. He doesn't have a fight planned yet probably because Showtime said no to all the names he gave them (except maybe for Martinez). I know Showtime had to give the permission to Bute to make another fight outside his contract. If Ward has the same style of contract, that means he cannot try to go to HBO before fighting his last one on Showtime. Ward may be forced to face Bute. Well, at least I hope so.

    For me Pacquiao is way past his prime.

    In the last 2 years he is not the same at all.

    For me either Bute and Ward are better than Sergio martinez pound for pound.

    Like I wrote, If Bute destroys Froch he will be 31-0 with 26 KO at his pime at 32 years old.

    Ward is 28 and won easily against Froch and...Kessler.

    For me it's a Pound for pound fight
