This needs to happen for butes sake, Just so he can prove to everyone that he is one of the best SMW...I mean honestly the guy hasent been fighting any world class top quality fighters, apart from miranda which in my opinion hasent been the same since Pavlik beat him, This would be a good fight however i feel that bute would be too powerfull for pavlik to cope with. Kelly is more of a natural middleweight fighter then a SMW. Would love to see Bute fight any of the supersix guys who don't make it past the 3rd round... Bute vs AA would be EPIC!

Ward's win over Kessler is looking pretty good these days. Considering Kessler won against Froch who gave Dirrel a good fight who gave Abraham a boxing lesson. I think he is ahead of Bute at Super Middle for now.

Bute also was ko against Andrade in the 12th but got a slow count. If Andrade can find Bute's chin others might be able to.

Honestly Pavlik was never really that good and was successful because he used what advantages he had over undersized middle weight opponents that being Size and strength.

Lucian in my opinion is an exceptional fighter, and would stop Kelly kind of easily. I would be willing to bet Kelly has never been hit with the kind of force that Bute would hit him with and its kind of like being in with a bigger stronger version of Sergio......though not quite as sexy.

you may very well be proven right about that......but i think atm Bute, Ward & Dirrell can't be seperated.
