Bute didn't deserve a fight with Ward he was unproven and Ward was right as soon as he stepped up he got destroyed.:deal I've always said Ward would have beaten Bute worse than PBF beat Gatti.
Bute was never in Ward's league and he was lucky he didn't participate in the S6 his hype train would have been derailed then !
No **** Kessler would have beaten him Ward would have beaten him hell even Abraham would have beaten him.
Had Stevenson fought Ward at 168, Ward would've beat his ass. Stevenson can't beat Ward at 175 either. I give Kovalev a much greater chance of beating Ward then Stevenson.
Do you know what "duck" means in boxing terms? Don't you have any self respect? I know you're angry that Bute has not panned out but do you truly...in your heart believe that Ward would ducked Bute? A lot is riding on this. They said Sugar ducked Hearns to let the fight marinate. Bute turned out to NOT be the real deal.
I call a duck a duck and I know a duck quacks. Ward was quacking like a master. I know the fight was the fight everyone wanted to see at 168lb. I know Ward turned down the fight. I also know in hindsight Ward would have kicked his ass, I don't think Ward believed that at the time though. Bute 'hadn't done enough', yet Edwin Rodriguez had, makes sence Bute not panned out? I never hyped Bute, I just wanted to see that fight at the time along with every other boxing fan.
No, that was NOT the fight everyone wanted to see. Wait, I don't get it. You call it a duck, but you think that Ward kicks his ass??? That's mighty hypocritical of you, lmao. Ward is an Olympic Gold medalist. He's faced every style in the amateurs and he participated in the Super 6. Why on earth would he doubt that he could beat Bute of all fighters??? :huhlol:
Sorry you've stuggled with what hindsight means. It was before the Froch fight. Ward would have kicked his ass, but we didn't know that at the time. Yet Rodrigeuz whose best win was Grachev was a good fight! How was it not the fight the boxing public wanted to see Ward take? The fight was being hyped massively at the time. If it wasn't the most demanded fight for Ward at the time, then what was?
sooooo this thread is happy to ask why Ward fought so many good fighters (all wins) but hasn't fought 1 guy, a minor champ called Bute. But it doesn't ask why Bute has not fought one really good fighter apart from Froch and Pascal, both losses. racial bias much? such a sad thread.
Not only do you NOT have your facts straight. You're just another Bute ***** rider. Once you went the "hindsight" route I just couldn't go forward talking boxing with you. Second, where was I at when Bute-Ward was thee fight to see? Only Canadians thought that. Ward fought in the Super 6. Wait, why am I even responding???
