Comments Thread For: Pavlik-Sturm, Stevens vs Brinkley Winner Could Get Bute

I never really liked Bute, thought he was the weakest of the champs, but he showed me a lot with his rematch vs Andrade, especially with the KO.

Andrade has gotten so much overstated hype on this forum, it is unbelievable. Was it impressive that he KOd him? Yes it was. But Andrade is hardly even a B class fighter.

Stevens-Brinkley is a good matchup. The winner fighting Bute is a total joke though. Champions should defend their titles against contenders, not ESPN clubfighters.

C'mon dudes, Brinkley has beaten some decent guys in row. Let's see him fight a champ !

Sturm fought the wrong fight in the first one against Griffin and out boxed him in the rematch and yes Castillejo did knock him out but again Sturm out boxed him in the rematch. And as far as Sturm having trouble with Oscar. I suggest you watch the fight on You Tube and you will see just how bad the decision was. Because Sturm also out boxed Oscar and therefore the only place he did not win the fight was on the score cards. So, in my opinion Sturm is a pretty good fighter while many of you claim he isn't when you have actually never even seen him fight.

I've seen some fights. Sturm was a decent fighter in the past, but now, he has turned into a bum. He was definitely robbed against DLH, but Geavor was robbed against Strum. I'm surprised he's actually a draw in Germany.

Never stated Andrade was a top notch fighter, was just impressed with the KO.....relax lil guy

How dare HBO even consider Bute fight one of those bums. Look at their records. They have beaten nobodies and lost people I have never heard of. Bull**** if that fight happens.

If Kelly Pavlik fights Felix Sturm instead of fighting Sergio Martinez that to me is taking the path of least resistance and easier money. This is why I like Paul Williams better than Kelly Pavlik because he isn't afraid to fight dangerous guys. But in Kelly's defense I guess, I heard that Dibella isn't too keen on having Martinez fight on the same night of the super six since he promotes Green too.

This is why HBO either needs to move that date for Pavlik-Martinez or make Pavlik fight off TV again and just try to put pressure on Martinez and Williams to fight a rematch with each other. Williams is offering him good money too and for some reason Martinez wants to fight Pavlik for less money. Speaking of which both Martinez's and Pavlik's camps are apart on the money from what I've read on certain sites.

Let his ass go back to fighting Latin Fury if he's gonna keep pulling the bull**** he's been doing by fighting bums. And I wish someone like Tavoris Cloud could make 168 because there is nothing for either Cloud at 175 since Dawson won't fight him and there is nothing for Bute at 168 because of the super six.
