    No disrespect to Bute, but he hasn't really beaten anyone other than a good Andrade and a shot Miranda. At least he's staying busy, as are the other big 6. Bute will have his day in another year or two, and more than likely in Canada as usual. Has he ever left Canada for a fight?

    What, If Bute beats you in three, actual Miranda trained by Goosen is weaker than the former one...?

    We all know that Bute was NEVER invited by Showtime.

    At first, I would think that the fighters involved in the supersix are in better place but,
    if Bute, before the end of the tournament, can fight with pound-for -pounds who have contract with HBO and who can fight at 168-170 like Hopkins, Dawson,Williams( he have already said that he can fight at 168... not tomorrow but maybe after-tomorrow...) and maybe some ejected from the supersix, I will say that the Bute's situation will be near equal.

    The next step for Bute is to be more known in U.S. That's why he want so hard Pavlik.
    And now that Pavlik is out, I think that Bute will go with Hopkins.

    Froch Vs Kessler will determine who is #1 at 168.
    If Froch KO's Kessler then Froch.
    If Kessler KO's Froch. Then Kessler threw the Ward fight.
    IF either win on points. Bute is.

    The super sixers are in charge. They're getting exposure and hype fighting each other. Bute doesn't really have many opponents to choose from. He's just gonna have to wait it out, while these guys keep making a name for themselves.

    First off, step off my boy, kid.

    Second, the quote is that he'd rather not take power punches to the forearms. He's got nerve damage in his elbow and that is what tingles - the arm goes numb for a few seconds. You may want to sit down for this one... being able to see punches coming and return fire is a good thing.

    Fighting Andrade is never a foregone conclusion. Bute has said over and over that fighting Andrade made him a better fighter and that being a rag doll in the 12th was the best thing that ever happened to him. It was a series of monstrous body punches on the same spot with pinpoint accuracy. That takes nothing away from a fighter, even if his name is Oscar.

    Andrade's a Mexican fighter with a large fanbase in Denmark.
    Where's Bute been these days?

    Bute has a lot of time to fill waiting around for Super Six fighters to free up. As of right now, the biggest fight out there for Bute is Chad Dawson. The biggest fight out there for Chad Dawson is Bute. I'm open to any better ideas.

    He will have to fight his mandatory Bika/Brinkley sooner or later. Hopkins if he meant what he said , Pavlik said something about having problems making 160.Dawson if he can make 168 or reach a deal for 170. Pascal even if he looses to Dawson but in a close match and again agrees to fight at 168 or 170

    You seemed to have covered just about all of his options pretty accurately. Fighting Bika would not move Bute forward, fighting Brinkley would even be worse than fighting Bika. If he fought and beat Hopkins the victory would be discredited due to Hopkins' age, which I DO believe is FINALLY starting to show. Pavlik is no longer considered anybody special (Bute would handle him anyway). Pascal wouldn't be a terrible idea. But Bute is not a small SMW. I think he could move up to face Dawson, maybe at a contract weight as you mentioned; and beating Dawson would wipe away any doubt of Bute being a legitimate top fighter in most boxing fans' minds.
