Bute wins impressively, but where can he go?

[The Hammer]

all the best 168 lbers are stuck in the Super Six.

there's no reason to move up and fight Dawson.

he only has to fight left overs like Sakio Bika, Miranda, etc...

160 lbers like Pavlik and Pwill ain't moving up.

where does he go after a big win like this? go on HBO welfare?

1. unify with winner of Stieglitz-Miranda
2. Kelly Pavlik
3. Paul Williams

then maybe in late 2010 or in 2011:

4. Chad Dawson
5. Tavoris Cloud
6. Jean Pascal


There are LOTS of options. I think he should first unify with the WBO titleholder, and then try to get Pavlik or Williams at 168.

[Grapes]

A fight with Pascal would be a Quebec superfight. I doubt it will happen though as I think both guys fight under the dame management team.

**** jean pascal this guy ducks everyone and is having a rematch agaisnt a guy he clearly dominated !

[old cat]

Allen green? clear out the division till super six is over?

Allen " Hammer of Thor" Green is the answer. That would be a good fight.

[Clegg]

Allan Green has done nothing to earn a shot. If he wasn't on TV no one would care about him.

He is having a rematch against him because he is contractually obligated to do so. You should change your name to sour g****s because you have been making some dumb ass ******ed posts tonight.

[Ch@mpBox@PR]

Well the logicall choice is unify with the winner of Stieglitz/Miranda and then Pavlik or Green.

Theres no need for him to move up to LHW!!!!!!

[THe TRiNiTY]

Realistically, it gets tough, but it's not as bad as one might imagine.

Andrade-Bute 3 is not likely. He has two official wins and has now VIRTUALLY boxed his ears off, and now stopped him. Either way you look at it, he's dominated the feud.

However, Stieglitz is an interesting matchup. Also, If Felix Sturm could be lured up a weight class, and I hear he's struggling, it could be a solid fight. Balzsay and Allan Green are also options. Hell, Dawson said he wouldn't be opposed to moving down for the right fight.

He does have some solid options. Plus, once some losers come out of the Super 6, he'll be able to test himselves agaisnt some of them, perhaps. And if he buys him time well,m while still winning impressively, against solid enough competition, the winner of the Super 6-Bute could be a VERY big fight.

[Boxingwizard]

Dawson is guaranteed to fight the winner of Pascal/Diaconu II. I don't think Bute wants to fight Dawson unless he has a belt.

Is it possible for Bute to fight the winner of Dirrell/Abraham?

[Pantera2000]

He's not getting in the Super Six guys, HBO would never allow it. His best bet is to try to unify the belts and win one or two more decent fights until the tournament is over.
