    Of course Bute doesnt deserve another title shot. But the guy still sells, he still puts butts in the seats and thats why he's getting to be the main event guy again and again.

    Alvarez is either so confident or so dumb, but from a financial point of view he's doing the right thing because they offered him the same money to fight Bute without the belt. Now, he can beat Bute because he's not a LHW, we all agree, but he doesnt stand a chance against Adonis, thats why he never enforced his mando. So, two paychecks is better than one. I think that was his thinking in all of this

    Also from promoters point of view Bute vs Alvarez is a win-win. Alvarez wins, then gets his reputation up and up and the fight vs Adonis will be bigger than now, and if Bute wins than Adonis vs Bute is as big as it gets in Canada.

    Bute is the A-side.

    Only reason why I excluded these two nations is because most but not all of their Champions have some good opposition in those two countries. To become a champion Jones had to have fought guys like James Toney and B-hop guys like Pavlik so the competition was already in their countries.

    For Bute's sake, I hope Alvarez wins. Bute could get badly hurt if he fights Stevenson.

    People talk about risk/reward all the time when it comes to certain guys getting avoided. Bute is a prime example of the opportunities out there when you're on the right end of that equation.

    Yeah your right and I understand why fighters wasnt him but why do sanctioning bodies still rank him highly? Probably the same reason money.

    Yeah groves is another who is given loads of shots but then again 168 has barely any top names. Bute was juiced for the Degale and Jack fights in my opinion. The moment Memo is sending you supplements and you get popped your excuse is void to me. He probably paid off the WBC and was given a pass but I have no doubts he was on PEDs, his work rate has increased exponentially those last two fights.

    Maybe because Haymon and these young bucks thought and keep naively thinking he'll be an easy KO win of a big name on their resume's, only to find out that sadly for them, they aren't and will never be on the level of The Cobra.:deal:

    Alvarez has to stop him or else he will probably be robbed, there's a reason why they have put Bute straight into an eliminator for the Stevenson's belt.
