Bute was #1 SMW and has never lost a fight since, beat Bika, Magee, Miranda, Johnson more convincingly than Ward or Froch did. He is a champion for more than 4 years and going with 9 title defenses of his belt, 10 title matches and 8 of them finished by Ko. He's been ranked in top3 SMW shifting his positions from 1 to 3 over the last 4 years. UNDEFEATED I think he's worthy enough to get a shot at Ward.
Agree! He just had to say that and don't trash-talk Bute. Also, this is nothing short of ducking. It's just that you sweeten it a little.
The future will tell us if it was ducking or not. If Ward agrees to face Bute after a Froch fight, it is not ducking. If he finds excuses and never fights Bute, then the ducking word will fit to the situation. Future will tell. I'd like to ask Ward's fans if they agree that Ward has to face Bute sometime after a Froch fight.
before posting this i want you all to know that i don't think Ward is ducking Bute but i found this funny so..... This content is protected
Who's been the reigning champion for five years and is still unknown in the states is the proper question.
