Why did Bute fight froch in England

If it happens,will this be at light heavy,as it appears Bute has moved up.Froch always says he's a natural at super middle,although he looks big to me.Could this be a sticking point?If it WAS made,think its a good one,as theres no guarantees,IMO,that it'd be the same result.History has showed us that.

 

:deal

 

bute gets credit for fighting froch in his back yard.
rabbit in headlights and all but credit is due and in all fairness since the defeat to froch he aint feeding on lower wieght fighters no they are credible imo

 

You have to give him a lot of credit, he came to the UK for less money than he'd made fighting fringe world level people, due to everyone saying he was dodging people, he didn't have to and it really backfired

 

I'm pretty sure Froch's natural weight is less than 13 stone, so moving up would be pointless

 

Was just speculating.So really,its not gonna happen,as I would have thought it doubtful that Bute will box super middle again.Saw,I think,his last fight against a tough East European who was mentioned as a Cleverly opponent but fell through.Credit to Bute.Regarding Froch,really hope he fights Stevenson if,as I expect,he edges past Kessler.

 

Exactly. Something Ward isn't willing to do even though he'd make MORE money fighting away.

 

nice one, bute gave it a shot no harm in that

 

:deal

 

Bute looks small at SMW, IMO. He'd be a beast at Middle.

 

:deal somethin we can't say about Ward

 

Hubris

 

he thought froch was ripe for the picking, obviously not. Not about wanting to prove himself abroad, thought he would win easy outdo ward's victory, what a clown.

 

where did you read that? ward on hbo will easily get around a million per fight now.

 

Well said Bill.
He has a very loyal bunch of fans and he is unusual in that he is one of a small number of fighters who has brought new fans who didn't care for boxing before.
That doesn't happen that often.
Yes,fair play to the guy for answering his critics by going over,but it was still delicious to see him crumble, considering some of the **** I copped in my early days on the General.
Strange thing is, although he has a high number of window licking fans,others are some of the most decent on the forum.
