      I doubt Hennessy made that offer tbh. How would Taylor make that kind of money fighting someone who only draws an audience in his backyard? They cant put this on ppv either cuz very little people will buy it.

      I consider Bute more of a "main guy" than Froch, just based on the guys he's fought alone. The only dangerous fight I see is Kessler, but then again Ive never seen Kessler fight anyone like Taylor.

      Why does Froch act like Taylor is the only name left in the division now that Calzaghe wont return. I think Andrade or Dirrell would beat him up

        He won impressively but you are right about it now being an easy achievement and that is why he should seek further challenges before he goes for a belt.

            Thats why I dont get choosing green,I dont think he is the sort of fighter taylor could look good against.It could end up actually being a very difficult fight for him

              Bute is a legitimate Super Middleweight, he got up from the knockdown before the count of ten and won the fight there was no shadyness there.
              I think Bute is a legit champion, BUT stopping the count was bs man. Andrade should have won that fight, the reason Im saying Bute is legit is because he did win a large majority of those rounds.

                I am glad you are acknowledging Taylor and the difficult opponents he is choosing in the SMW division.

                  Someone made a gif of the knockdown, I will try to find it. He did get up before the count of ten.

                      lol i wasnt trying to sayBute wasnt a legitimate champ, but all boxers i dont care who they are all look to a fighter who has a good rep, and may have not looked amazing in there last fight and because how badly he was rocked in his last fight alot of fighters would find confidence in that think they would be a less risky option, if anything Bute is a much legit champ than froch he's had that title for 3-4 fights now and deserves alot of respect and before i read some of the other posts i thought would of been an easier fight to make because they both are based in north america.
