Contrary to popular belief, Calzaghe tried to get fights with both Jones and Hopkins in their prime, and was willing to travel to the US to fight them. Re. Hopkins see here (2002). Re. Jones see here (2000) and here (2001).
Is that so Dave?
The British Media consists of hype and BS. I wouldn't trust them for 1 second. I can search through articles right now and find some that support Haye and claim he is not ducking Wladimir.
Though, I don't see your point man. Are you trying to say Bute is not a good fighter?
No, not really. I was just busting your balls a little bit. I dont think Bute is actually scared of anybody, he just doesnt have a lot of options at the moment.
Interbox may be realising that the Super 6 will be dragged out + Showtime have options on the winner and a fight with the winner may not be guaranteed, which sucks for Bute. He has totally been left of the picture and hopefully he can land a fight with the winner of the Super 6.
Its quite simple really, your thread is entitled 'Posters who think Bute is "Ducking" Pascal are ****king idiots', Now yours saying your acknowledging that he was offered a fight by Pascal and he refused to fight him.

Ive had more than one disagreement with Dave, so I understand your feelings there.
I imagine Bute and the Super 6 winner (Ward) will lock horns sooner or later. Outside of that tournament there doesnt seem to be anybody around who can bump Bute off, so he should be primed and ready to go by then.

Big difference my man. Bute is a 168 champ, he is not obligated to fight the best 175 pounder in the world. In no way, shape or form is that a duck move.

Why not? Fight now Bute is the same size as Pascal. I guess the speed of Pascal scares the **** out of Bute, knowing he'd fight someone with comparable hand-speed of his own.
