    We dont know about all the details of the S6 contract or the Bute/Showtime contract. But I wish it can force either Dirrel or Kessler need to fight Bute next.

    A lot of people (rightly so) wonder why Bute should have a shot at the S6 winner without fighting with the others and so we could ask why Kessler or Dirrel could wait and bypass other fighters and got a shot at the S6 winner in a easier way than Froch or Ward had?

    Im not saying either injuries are not genuine (not my job to do so), I'm saying that now you are out of the S6 as other fighters (like Bute and we could add Pavlik, Dawson, Williams etc) and you now need to fight with each other to see who deserve the first shot at the S6 winner.

    Dirrell would be a tough test for Bute but maybe that fight will show us how good Lucian really is. It would be impressive if he Ko's Dirrell or wins a UD against him, non-controversial like Froch did.

    Bute's promoter will scour the bars, liquor stores, homeless shelters and bus stops for Bute's next "world class" opponent.

    But don't worry, NEXT time he will fight someone good, I know I've said that before Bute's last 5 opponents, but I'm telling the truth this time, honest.

    His best option would be the loser of Hopkins vs Pascal 2 since there's no one worthy at SMW that is available and the winner of Hopkins vs Pascal 2 has to face Dawson. Unless Kessler or Dirrell become available and are willing to take the fight which i doubt they will. Bute's in a shitty position as far as competition til super 6 clears up. Maybe the winner of Sartison vs Stieglitz will step up with their belts that neither deserve??

    Bute is ready to travel if the money are right.

    Many here say Dirrell, but I never want to see that guy even near a ring again.
    Kessler would be good, if he's healthy again.

    Quoting articles from 2 years ago? :lol: And the fight that was "almost a done deal" never happened did it? :rofl I'm sure theres a list of excuses to cover Bute for that, just like everything else he does (or doesn't do)

    I'll believe he isn't afraid to leave his safehouse, when he actually does it and against a live opponent!

    The thing is that his opponents are the ones who are saying that his willing to fight the best and travel. Why would they lie for him? Froch is saying that about the guy that he now says about he's not fighting worthy opponents. Who can he fight at 168 ? Super six has taken 8 fighters out of top 10 , he made offers to Stieglitz and Sartison already beat Andrade and Bika , who was left ? Now he was trying to make a fight with Kessler, but Mikkel said he needs a tune-up. You can blame him for not going to 175 , that's about it. It's not like he had so many options to fight good opponents and he refused and not like he had so many options of going outside of Canada and said no. He was willing to go in England and his is now willing to fight at MGM. Golden Boy Promotion won the second Andrade fight and they choose Montreal. What can you do if even your opponent want's to fight in your home town ?

    Like I said, the list of excuses is always on hand. It can't possible be Bute's fault.
