How can an insinuation be a lie? With what you say in mind, what did Rodriguez do more than Bute to get the Ward fight. You still cant say why Ward didnt face Bute, his biggest fight at that time
Nobody has tried changing history. Its set, ward never fought Bute when it was the biggest fight which could be made. Now can you answer the question below which you have skirted around. Below Can you answer this time or just admit you cannot?
Thats the purpose of the thread, why didnt it when - * It was the biggest fight that could be made for either * It was a big unification fight * Bute was wanting it * Both were undefeated champs * Both had made defences * Ward mentioned the S6 winner should face Bute Why was Ward not interested? I would like to know why people think it didnt go down when Ward mentioned the S6 winner should face Bute
Your first sentence...:yikes And lastly, Ward and Bute didn't fight because deep down Ward didn't respect Bute. He wanted him to fight someone with a pulse instead of fighting bums, old men and inferior comp...comp that Bute was used to facing before Froch.
This isn't an answer. I need a sincere answer. They can still fight too. I gave my answer, now give yours. You're afraid to say the unthinkable for fear of being shitted on lmao.
Give us YOUR reasons guys. Inquiring mind want to know. Was it a styles thing? Was Ward scared? Bailey which is it lol...?
Really Are you not doing what you made accusations of, by saying what fighters were feeling with this comment Here below http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XO_H29ikNzs Ward seems to mention Bute is doing a good job and the S6 winner should face Bute
I havent seen an answer from you. I have noted how Ward wasnt interested in Bute after the S6, but mentioned the S6 winner should face Bute. I would like to know why such a big fight didnt happen
"To be perfectly honest, no disrespect to Bute and his team, but they've sat back and they've fought B-level and C-level guys and he did what he was supposed to do," said Ward, failing to grasp that Bute wasn't invited to the Super Six and had no A-level opponents available to him. "He stopped them and he's gotten them out of there. But he's just been sitting back, waiting, while we've been fighting for the past two and a half years against top-level competition. "So I don't have to go to Lucian Bute right now," Ward said. "We're going to sit back and I'm going to rest and we'll see what's next. I'm open for a Mikkel Kessler clash. I would love to get that rematch and settle that score, since he feels like it wasn't a legitimate victory [in the opening round of the tournament]. Going up to light heavyweight for the right fight -- not to campaign up there, but for the right fight -- is an option. So we've just got to sit back and see what makes sense. I think I earned the right to pick the right fight for the right price." Rather than talk up a fight with Bute, Ward (25-0, 13 KOs) instead tried to play matchmaker, suggesting that Bute face the vanquished Froch, who has trash-talked Bute and riled up his Canadian fans over the past few years. "That's a tremendous fight for Carl because I know Carl doesn't like Bute," Ward said. "To be perfectly honest, I think Bute has to beat somebody. I'm just gonna be frank with you: He has to beat somebody, an A-level guy, to get a shot. We'll sit back and talk as a team, but off the top of my head, he has to beat somebody. You can't sit back and just take your time while everyone else is working hard and you come in and get the same pay that everyone else gets. It don't work like that. This is a sport, but we also use our brains for business, and we'll sit down and make a solid business decision."
Ive said all along, I wonder why Ward didnt take the biggest fight available for him against what was considered his biggest challenge
