Miranda is the pefect fight ight no for him. If he fights Brinkley it will be a huge step back!!

I dont care for either fight. I'd rather see Bute try and get Tavoris Cloud or even Paul Williams in the ring.

[The Gambler1981]

They are both about the same to me at this point Miranda has the better name but both guys represent about the same level of threat to Bute.

Edison really has not done anything recently, Brinkely has atleast been on a winning streak although against modest opposition.

Both are easy fights for Bute but i'd rather see him fight Brinkley. Is this the kind of opposition Bute is gonna be fighting be fighting for 2 years while he waits for the Super Six to finish?

Lucian Bute is going to end up being seriously over rated. Hes gonna keep getting these soft touch fights while the guys in the super six are taking on the top competition.

Yup, the typical Bute opponent. Limited B or C class fighter. Wake me up when Bute steps up, and stepping up is not granting a guy you just beat up 10 rounds to 2 a rematch.

[Pantera2000]

Who has Brinkley beaten to deserve a shot? Plus look who he has lost to! Four club fighters. Brinkley needs to beat someone, someday, of half decent quality to get a title shot. Sure, he is on a winning streak, beating guys I have never heard of....

Styles make fights and to tell you the truth at least El Pantera bring the one punch power to the table. Brinkley is a joke seriously a joke. He has no power and has not fought a live body in forever. The last fight this past weekend was against a 5'7" SMW with arms like a JWW. They kept saying that the kid from Brownsville never run never will had power to KO but he was only throwing a left hook which Brinkley kept leaning forward anf having it pass behind his head. Bute by KO over Brinkley and Miranda to me right now is the tougher fight but Bute will win that be easy UD.
