    Another title shot no doubt. Some fighters inexplicably get given chance after chance whilst other more deserving guys get frozen out. It's a joke but what's new?

    I don't know. He's clearly way past his best but he's still pretty good. His performances in his last two fights kind of reminds me of Kessler in the first Froch fight (although obviously Kessler won) - he's not what he once was and he can't fight as effectively as he did in his prime so he's having to rely on other attributes like heart, toughness (yes contrary to popular belief Bute is pretty tough) will and determination to be competitive. Prime Kessler would've beaten Froch fairly comfortably IMO (I've always felt that), but the only reason he beat him in their first fight is because he wanted it so bad. He literally willed himself to victory.

    If not a rematch, one of Dirrell bros would be a good, and winnable fight for him. Maybe on the Jack/DeGale undercard.

    Retire.... He hasn;t won a fight against half-decent opponent since 2012.
    But I understand him, there's not much to do after boxing, so he needs to get those paychecks build up to invest in something.

    Bute-Chavez would be a good fight.

    But had enough money to retire and live fine for the rest of his life.

    He invested the millions he made instead of spending it on cars and bling bling

    I think he should retire, gave a good go but it wasn't enough, there's no point in competing for 2nd tier in my eyes.
