Comments Thread For: Kelly Pavlik Ready For August Return, Lucian Bute Clash

[Clegg]

Why is his promoter matching him up with boxers that move around.

Have we not figured out what type of fighter he does well against and what type he doesn't yet?

Get him someone that will stand in front of him for the love of god.

It seems to me that Arum is cashing out. Pavlik doesn't have the beating of the top guys so he's going for the one who pays the most.

Maybe I'm wrong, but that's how it looks to me.

Have you seen Bute-Andrade I?

Have you seen Bute-Andrade II?

Besides, Andrade is a different type of fighter to Pavlik. He gets inside, gets a bit rough and lands shorter punches than KP, who keeps people on the end of his reach.

Pavlik fights on the outside and Bute is better than him at that range.

The Racket Squad: From Here To Obscurity

From Betty Ford To Bute in under a year?
Sorry. First things first.
He's in deep need of Canelo style pampering to regain form and he's too old to receive it.
I fear for his well being once this ride into nowhere is completed.

Winner of the super six (Ward) vs Bute
Loser of super six (Froch) vs Pavlik or Pavlik Vs Andrade on the undercard

[WESS]

I don't care for Bute that much. I think he would be beaten by Ward, Kessler or Froch. I say make Pavlik vs Bute happen. It would be a great win if he pulled it off.

Pavlik vs Bute is a fight that everybody is looking forward to seeing it.Especialy in
Montreal where can be expected to be attracted in Centre Bell more people than in
the Pascal-Hopkins fight(17500 tickets sold).It seems the negotiations are getting
well and Bute-Pav fight will happen.

[johnm is...]

I'm a Pavlik fan, but Bute is going to beat the hell out of him.

Supersix is done ar almost done end it gaves us the chance to find out the best
supermiddle weight of S6(Ward & Froch).To my thinking-I don't want to dig up in
the crap-Bute would have done a better job in S6 than many others in S6,if he
has been invited- even from the begining.I dare to say that he is better than
Green, Sakio Bika even so Johnson or AAbraham -who has more room in the
middle-weight div easily.and an another think-Pascal could have replaced
better the past J Taylor if he could do the weight to stay in 168 div.Thus,the
formula Ward-Dirrel-Froch-Kessler-Bute-Pascal would have been more balan-
ced, end more exciting:SUA vs Europe vs Canada world widely.

Pavlik should run away like Kessler did before you get KO. Bute way to good.

[TheSlickster]

Bute is so overrated on this board its ridiculous. Ward, Dirrell, Froch and Kessler each i feel would defeat Bute.

[ShoulderRoll]

Isn't it sad that Kelly Pavlik, a middleweight, will be the best fighter Bute has ever faced?
