    Bring on the Viking Warrior after he beat (the **** out of) Stieglitz :bbb
    Maybe a nice fight inbetween.

    Forget Dirrell. He aint ready and Showtime wont have him.

    I see 3 possibilities:

    1: Glen Johnson (If he stays at 168 and doesn't hang 'em up)
    2: Mikkel Kessler (The Stieglitz negotiations are moving VERY slowly. A quick move by Interbox might lure him).
    3: A random cabdriver/garbageman as usual.

    Bute wants to fight SOB Ward ASAP! Remember, Ward refused to allow Bute to fight in his personal tournament in which he gets everything his way..........Ward will never fight Bute.............

    If Ward wants Bute he has gotta through Froch first, which won't be easy.

    With the terms that Bute want (one of them being home advantage) he will find it almost impossible to get any of the top guy like Kessler, Ward, and Froch.

    So maybe Bika again..

    The absolute best hopes of good people (although not top top) that may agree to Bute's home advantage terms are Dirrell and Johnson.

    Les Sherrington who was considered as an July opponent for Lucy is still ranked at #6 by the IBF so it could be him...

    That's a great idea. Glen Johnson might just shatter Lucy's glass!

    I don't know who Bute will fight, but I seriously doubt he's going to risk losing the big Super 6 finalist payday by taking on Johnson or anyone else at that level. I'm thinking another tomato can. I just don't know who.

    Not in the choices and it will not happen in the next year, but I would really like to see a rematch (from their amateur fight) against Golovkin. Other than that Johnson would be a good bet. Dirrell is the best available, but he needs a fight or two before facing a big puncher like Bute.
