Can't be mad at the guy tho. He knows he is no match against Bute. He doesn't want to get his liver or chin exposed and risk another long injury.
Kessler is a duck. Bute called him out, Kessler said yeah, it would be nice, way easier for him to fight Stiegliz who's barely top-15.
Not his fault he wasn't in the super-6.
Miranda, Bika, Andrade, Zuniga, Magee, not top tier fighter but they aren't push-over either.
There is no 168 pounds right now that could eat Bute's liver shot or uppercut. Andrade had a rock chin and he got floored, then liver shot = Over.
I was at the gym speaking with Larouche (Bute's trainer) and he also think there is no 168 pounders that can go 12 rounds with Bute eating that liver shot and not dropping.
Bute would eat Froch.
Only Ward has a chance against Bute, if they fight in Oakland and clinch/headbut/dirty boxing combinaison.
Bute is the best 168 based on skills, size, power out there.
Name 1 168 with better power shot.
Of course he said that, it's his trainer. Is his trainer supposed to say "Yeah man Bute hits like a woman, i'm pretty sure anyone can take his body shots. I'm thinking he may be related to Malignaggi." :lol1::lol1:
Lol, you can't possibly call anyone who enters a tournament to fight the best 168 fighters in back-to-back-to-back fights a duck.
Except maybe ones that are from Michigan.
thats a pretty awesome scenario.
I have no issue with Kessler fighting Stielglitz, Rob doesnt deserve a belt title strap anyway and would get wasted by a number of guys at 168.
Kessler can go ahead and take care of Rob, as long as he faces off against Bute in the future. or the winner of Froch-Ward, any of those fights are good for me.
That's the exact same thing I said about Stieglitz, I don't think he deserves a belt and I rather see Kessler with it who has been fighting top 168 pounders since 2007 when he lost a close but clear decision against Calzaghe.
If he beats Stiglitz he becomes the WBO champion, then if he beats Bute he becomes the IBF/WBO Champion and unifies with a rematch against the winner of Ward/Froch who will be the WBC/WBA Champion. Winner will ultimately be the WBC/WBA/WBO/IBF/The Ring/Lineal Champion.

I don't think it is a big deal as long as Kessler fights Bute after taking that WBO title from Stieglitz. We could have an undisputed 168 champ at the end of it all.
Bute only fight Canadian club fighters and washed-up has-beens!
I realyy dont know why he even went to watch Froch/Johnson?
Bute fought only three Canadian fighters in his pro career. - You are obviously clueless on the subject, please hater, stay out of the thread.
He ****ed up 12 Americans fighters
Three Colombians,
1 irish
1 mexican
5 africans
1 danish
Bika was top-10 when Bute ****ed him up. So was Berrio and Andrade. Miranda was on the bubble.
I don't think you can blame Kessler for going after Stieglitz, after all he's only had one fight since the injury.
Bute has had all the time in the world to fight someone decent, but he has chosen not to.
He wanted a piece of Kessler, in Quebc media, interview, I can find clip of him calling out Kessler. Bute is/was a fan of Kessler the boxer, he wanted to fight him badly, but Kessler pressed start, enable duck mode and continue playing.
After Mendy, he should go after Dirrell.
well coming to the negotiation table with that WBO title for the Bute fight WOULD HELP! I don't see anything wrong with trying to get that WBO Title 1st before the Bute fight
I think he can beat Stieglitz but it would be easy...especially IN GERMANY! Unless he gets the KO
Right. Because Bute has been beating down walls trying to fight top opposition.
Not his fault he wasn't in the super-6.
