Hopkins is the most dangerous opponent Bute can face IMHO. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ldq6Bft5ka0[/ame]
Yes, but a win against him will boost his credibility and image. What about an all romanian fight between Bute an Diaconu, if Diaconu wins against Dawson, in romania on a big stadium...wow that would be somthing
They'll never fight. It's like Vitaly fighting Wladimir , not going to happen. And Romania vs Romania won't sell as good as Romania vs Rest of the World
What fight do you think would sell best in Romania? Bute-Erdei would sell good because of the hystorical Romanian-Hungarian rivality.
Bute against any1 will sell around 20 000 tickets. If the tickets price is decent. Edit: Stieglitz or Sartison will probably sell the best because they hold a belt , and will be more appealing.World Champion will have a ring to it.
Bute's situation really is the damnest thing... What is a dude supposed to do with 8 of the top 10 fighters in the division being tied up? Short of division hopping? And even then....
Bute's critics aren't interested in facts. He was not invited to participate in the Super Six. Now he is doing exactly what he should be doing. He signed with Showtime where all the top super middleweights fight, and He's staying busy while the S-6 plays out. He's doing what he needs to do.
either kessler, dirrell, or abraham. froch and ward in the final and then bute vs the winner next year.
