Comments Thread For: Andre Ward Eyes Lucian Bute, Move To 175-Pounds

Good to hear....

If he does win the tourney (and thats a big IF) then i agree he should move on and up. as people saying Kessler has some claus about facing the winner of the tourney, he already got beat up by Ward, no need for a repeat. The dane is flat footed and obviously cant hang, end of story.
Ward vs Hopkins, Pascal, Dawson, Cloud and even Mack is promising.....

Bute needs to fight Kessler

[LeadUppercut]

Bute fights nothing but tomato cans.

Andre Dirrell, Mikkel Kessler, and Arthur Abraham are all out of the Super Six now--he needs to fight one of them to start earning real respect from me.

The point is, he does not want to head into a Ward fight cold.

His competition to-date will not have prepared him for Andre.

[Tiozzo]

With the Super Six coming to a close, why isn't Bute waiting for the winner? For as much criticism as American fighters get for ducking, Bute really doesn't get any.

what ? Bute is among the fighters who get the most hate here, just read this thread, the hate is unbelievable even though it all comes from the same posters again and again

Ward seems to be more impressive from a fight to another.I expected to outclass
Abraham ,but in Bute he will be facing a smart opponent with comparable athleticism
and skills,jab,speed,foot work,reflexes and hand-eye coordination.End overall a good
power punch.His constant movements, head and very accurate left uppercut will make
from him a very tough oposition during a future clash.

Ward-Froch is a hard fight to predict.

I slightly favor Ward.

Froch is such an awkward guy.

If its Glen, Ward wins a good bit easier.

Ward vs Bute.....??? Make it happen!!!

..Two excellent boxer to square off will be an explosive night, but I will have to pick my boy Ward to win.

[ciochia]

Ward-Froch is hard to predict indeed.He was very impressive against many fighters
and even Callzaghe-his old enemy-reconized that he deserve more credit.
On his resume we can find a tough opposition: Pascal,Teylor,Kessler,Dirrel,Abraham and
I favor Ward a bit because is a slick boxer and a little faster.

But it's easy to shine against mediocre opposition, as Bute has done.

The true measure of a fighter comes when he faces high level opponents like Ward and Froch have done.

Ward holds his hands kinda high.

Bute is a hellacious body puncher.

Just sayin'.
