Which THREE FIGHTS for LUCIAN BUTE after Berrio to prepare for CALZAGHE + KESSLER?***

We've established who they should be. I doubt anyone else has anything to add that hasn't been said, which is why it switched over to MK.

If it keeps going, it may switch over into a "**** Jermain Taylor" thread, because that ******* is going down soon.

 

Where's the Bute Express when you need it?

 

It really in the cards that the future of SMW will hold a undisputed champ. This division is so competetive - even if it lost some of the x-factors such as Allan Green and Chanet Jackson(?).

I don't really think that the fighters of now and tomorrow will "hide" behind one belt only. The propects of future bouts should make any boxing fan put smiles on their faces.

All the matches you have laid down are all very likely and viable. My only wish would be that JC was only 25 though - and more known names(overrated(?)) had the balls to let go of their in-bred matchups (read: Taylor-Hopkins, Taylor-Winky, Winky-Hopkins, RJJ-Tarver, Hopkins-Tarver). and throw them into the mix.

 

I am somewhat twist and torn about what your are saying.

For the most part I have held Kessler as favorite vs Calzaghe. But basing it on the last two matches does not entirely give JC enough credit.

I simply feel that JC was in an awkward emotional situation, where he came off a great win vs Lacy - in which I myself think he was a bit surprising to himself(by the manner it went).

Now I don't think he really took Bika as serious as he should, got frustrated, and fought like one of those fighters that fights in their buildups. Conclusion: His mindset was not up to par with the lvl of competition.

Everyone knows that the Manfredo matchup was just wrong in boxing terms. I can't really see how the fight reflected poorly on JC was a boxer. He did what he could, and the match was rightfully stopped(which it should have been before the first bell).

What the real question to me is concerning JC - was the brilliance vs Lacy - the best we will ever see Calzaghe perform?

Still I see JC as a bigger threat to Kessler than I see Dawson to either. I want to see more to be thorougly convinced that he can deliver at top level.

 

Have you seen the Manfredo fight? Calzaghe did nearly nothing against this very weak opponent in the first two rounds, he still won them though, since Manfredo didn't do anything at all the entire three rounds. My point is Calzaghe didn't look good at all against Manfredo not even when he stopped him by karate-chopping him into submission (most of these wild chops missed by the way).

Regarding the Bika fight, I don't buy into the "Calzaghe only fights good against good opposition"-myth. Still if this "myth" should prove to be right, then I guess he will fight very poorly against Kessler considering how bad Kessler is according to Blocky.

 

Just out of interest...

Who could Kessler have fought that are better than the ones he fought??? (other than Calzaghe)

 

:good

Now prepare yourself to be called a ****wit, dumb**** or something similar by Blocky.

 

Good for you. Keep up the good work.:good

 

Inkin can make you look very bad,and he is a bloody dangerous counterboxer.What's more he isnt very known among the casual box fans worldwide.High risk,little reward.Mundine would probably be the best fight for Bute IMO.

By the way what about a rematch with Golovkin at the pros?
Golovkin knocked Bute out at the amateurs-he is now 8-0 at the pros.Golovkin looked great in his last outing to a box ring.

 

Start the Golovkin express now!!
