Originally posted by Jcsuper View PostJean Pascal called him numerous times, Bute has always declined, maybe Martinez, if he wants to move up. I can't believe they can find better opponents than Magee and Brinlkey...
at the end of the day, they're in different weight divisions
only the keyboard warriors attacked Bute for not going after a light heavyweight...

it's all about money and business...
don't forget HBO was already getting involved with Bute...

Larouche ( Bute's coach ) and Bedard ( promoter ) declined by saying they don't want to move up in weight.
I know what you mean by saying we shouldn't oblige him to move up in weight if he doesn't want, but hey Pascal fought a long time at 168, its not like if he was a much more natural bigger guy. Also Bute's clan said a lot of time that Bute weight more than 180 lbs in real life, so I don't see why he would not be able to compete at 175.
I respectfully agree with you that he doesn't have a lot of options, but don't tell me his opposition has been impressive, cause it's totally not.

Originally posted by Jcsuper View PostYeah its true that its a "good" resume, he fought against good fighters. Bika and Andrade are the two best that comes to my mind. But he didn't fight against an elite fighter. I don't want to diss the guy, he's a great fighter and I totally like his skills, its just that I want to see him against the best.
