    was disappointed in the dumb fight froch fought against taylor.
    he did like he did against pascal. so one dimensional.
    but i think froch is a little smarter and remarkably fast compared to andrade.
    i take froch over the skilled but pampered bute.

    if its a close fight... believe it or not its the law in canada that at least two of the judges have to be canadian. for real.

    i don't know. that froch will go anywhere anytime anyway.
    i wonder about a guy like this what improvements if he had a real proffesional trainer that made him listen, how good he could get.
    this guy has mad heart. and has the ability to reach way back deep.
    but that toe to toe macho crap. he makes his fights harder then they should be.
    The guy has a great trainer. Every trainer in the world tells their fighters to keep their hands up, but at the end of the day, if they don't want to fight like that, they won't. Froch is what he is. He is too old to change his ways.

      Andrade deserves his rematch, if not before then after the Froch fight. I think Froch - Andrade would be an even better fight though, two come forward pressure fighters with little polish but a big punch could only make for a great fight. If Froch fights Bute he will be chasing him and will probably be potshotted unless he catches him, this might well end up being anticlimactic

        Whatever happens is fine by me. I would like to see Andrade/Bute 2, but a unification between Bute/Froch is what the division needs.

        Even if the Bute/Andrade rematch is finalised, Andre Ward is Froch's mandatory and i'm sure he would come to England for a title shot.

          Hopefully Bute can do both by early 2010: first unify with Froch, and then rematch Andrade.

              Any fight between these 3 is good. I hope Andrade gets his rematch tho. That ref in the Bute fight pissed me off. I wanted too see Bhop face Froch, but oh well.

                I would love for this fight to come off, I think Bute would win by comfortable UD.

Also, in the end of the 12th round, he should've put a knee down, so he could recover. I'm pretty sure he took notes in their last fight.
                    Exactly, he can conserve his energy down the stretch. He was trading with Andrade in the 12th round! Bad move. According to the translator, his trainer was telling him to "finish strong" before the 12th. That's bad strategy. He had the fight in the bag and should have been conservative in the last couple of rounds.
