Comments Thread For: Bute vs Brinkley Officially Announced For October 15

Please , please stop with Pavlik. He is not in the same class as Bute. Pavlik is way over rated. Nobody should talk about him. And at that level nobody is afraid of no one.Bute can take any fighter that will be propose to him. He is the king at 168.

i disagree with the Pavlik comments (he's just on his way out is all, not overrated imo) but im 100% with you on Bute. I think he should target the fighter who gets knocked out of the super 6 first who isnt Allan Green.

Jesse Brinkley (35-0-0, 22 KO)? That's taking creative career stats to a new level.

It seems everybody thinks, that Bute is waiting for the super6 to finish in order to take on the top guys.

Why didn't he take them on before the super6 and why isn't he included in the Super6? Before the Super6 he rejected to fight Kessler (confirmed) and Froch (at least Froch said so) and Showtime said they invited Bute to participate in the Super6, but he rejected.

With the above in mind I'm not so sure he is waiting for the Super6 to finish. Rather I think he is fearing its end, because he (or his promoter at least) is afraid to fight top opposition and then what, when public demand wants him to fight someone of note?

Maybe Bute is a bit more seasoned now, but there are a lot of fighters out there to fight, that aren’t b-level reality stars and which could be interesting fights. Robert Stieglitz and Brian Magee are two (that are at least fairly talented). I for one can't understand, how he can be satisfied with only having the inferior IBF belt.

Not one time have I ever heard Bute call someone out and I highly doubt he really wishes to risk loosing his “zero”.

I’m not saying I’m right, but I think people will be disappointed, if they are waiting for Bute to take on the super six guys.

What i ment is Pavlik is fighting in the 160 division and everyone is talking like he was a destroyer. He is not even contoling the division of 160 and poeple are talking for a fight againt the best 168 pounder. As no sense.
