There are so many people like you telling Bute is not so good that I wonder how he could be overrated. :think BTW, only the thread starter believes Ward will duck Bute.
Of course, your boxer is so courageous and all the others are afraid of him. Let's just say Ward's acts didn't prove your point yet.
If his acts had already "proved" it then it wouldnt be worth debating about now would it? Plus, I have only said Bute and Dirrell are afraid of him but I am sure there are quite a few more that are scared. However, my backyard part was mostly for bustin rhymes though All Bute has to do to prove he aint scared is write a letter to ESB, Sho, etc...and and say "take me as the substitute for Dirrell"
Bute has a fight in 6 days. Ward fights one month later. :nut In addition, the promoters in the super 6 have their word on the choice of the substitute. Showtime hasn't invited Bute in the first place. Why would they invite him now?
Do you really believe that showtime would turn down a Bute substitute?:nut I like Jessee Brinkley but come on now; can he really compare to Allan Greene and Kessler? Heck, HBO aint even gonna show it. Plus, look at what ward did to Kessler and what Kessler did to Andrade, who btw already Ko'd Bute. Oh and Bute is already scheduled to rematch another contender Bika right after Brinkley.

Not when they are like Bute or Haye anyway or when they aint really interested in more than just the IBF, like a little legacy
That tournament is based on invitations. Froch,Ward,Abraham,Kessler,Johnson,Green(as reserve),Dirrell,Taylor got an invitation. So way should Bute offer himself to participate in that tournament if they don't want him ? That's begging .... especially that HBO treat him well (they would be insulted by that) and Showtime spit on his pride by not inviting him
