From Andre Ward Interview

Ward indicates that he won't be willing to fight with Bute just after Super Six Tournament.
I pretty much agree with him about Bute. Bute is just sitting in corner and waiting for the outcome. After that he just comes out of the wood and say "Hey let's fight and find out who's the best at SMW". It's bullshiat when somebody has to go through 5 fights against best fighters, wants to celebrate his huge achievement, enjoy the hype around him and rest, but then another guy jumps at him and takes away all his titles and P4P level.

WARD: Well I think he’s [Bute] biding his time right now to obviously not get in there where he’s going to take any punishment or look bad. He’s just waiting to cash in on the winner of the Super Six and that may backfire because who’s to say the winner, who of course I believe is going to be me, but who is to say that you’re going to want to go right to Bute after two years of fighting grueling fights. You don’t know. You got to see how these next two fights go. You got to see how you feel. You got to see from a business standpoint what makes sense. Do we fight him now? Do we fight him a year from now? So you have to take into account all of that. Everybody just assumes that either Kessler or Bute is going to get a shot. Well a good idea may be for those guys to fight each other and the winner of that fight gets the winner of the Super Six because we’ve had two years of wear and tear on us and to go right back into another big fight. Of course the money is going to be there, but from a physical standpoint I mean it might not make sense. I think he’s biding his time but it remains to be seen if that backfires on him or not. I take nothing away from Bute. He’s done what he was supposed to do with the guys that he’s fought. He’s stopped them! Obviously we all have flaws. I’ve seen some flaws in him, he may see some in me, but I just think it’s premature for anybody to be called the King of the 168 pound division when there is so many good fighters and you have an awesome tournament like the Super Six going on and then you have another guy who’s kind of waiting in the wings. Everybody’s got to lock horns to see who is the best. Even with Kessler, you see him waiting in the wings saying I’m a champion and I’m coming back and I want to face the winner of the Super Six. So hopefully in the next year, year and a half, two years, all matters will be settled and we’ll know who the best is.
