"The plan is to show that Lucien Bute is the best super middleweight in the world," said Bedard, "and signing with Showtime will help us to do that."

LOL okay let's see what comes of this.

[badass316]

JCC Jr. was the first name that popped into my mind.

[LeG00N]

He's 20 years old though and Ryan Rhodes is an okay opponent and a top 10 JMW.

Yea I agree about Rhodes and his age ...

but the whole WBC , Mathew Hatton thing was ridiculous ...

Many fighters get accused of being a duckers but Berto was a genuine one. He though he could take advantage of Ortiz glass heart but bit of more than he can chew and got f***ing mauled. Aside from the knockdowns that fight wasn't close. I loved when that cherry picker was looking to the corner in 11th to save him after after saying he would make Ortiz quit HAHAHAHA!

hate

People are always going to hate on boxers and not support the sport.. worst fans in the world. And you wonder why UFC is bigger.

its bute. simply because out of all the protected fighters, he has the most talent. sturm isnt that good, erdei is ok. but bute, hes acting like a ***** in a relatively deep weight class. its disturbing.

Canelo first came to mind. GBP is gonna want to handle him very carefully.

JCC Jr and Stieglitz come to mind. Ricky Burns has had pathetic defenses so far so he should get a mention.

Exactly why I chose Bute myself.

He keeps getting a free pass because he is waiting on the Super 6 winner. That fight is going to very difficult to make if it ends up being Ward.

Bute may say he is willing to travel to Las Vegas to fight him but I will only believe it when I see it.

Ward for his part, sure as hell isn't going to travel to Montreal.

My guess is Bute will want the fight in New York which is a short drive from Montreal, something that Ward will balk at, and then the fight will fall apart and Ward will move up to 175 leaving Bute to fight his leftovers.
