TBH, Bute is one of the biggest disgraces in boxing right now. It isn't like some divisions where the talent isn't very strong, he's in arguably the deepest division in the sport. Also, it isn't like he is a no name guy that can't lure a big name fighter because the money isn't there. He fights infront of very large crowds, money is not a problem. There is absolutely and I mean absolutely no excuse why Lucian Bute has not fought a top 10 SMW(Andrade is stretching it and arguably knocked Bute out. In the rematch he was not a top 10 fighter).

Its not his fault Kessler went after an easier title shot. He'll fight Pavlik next, and that isn't a bad fight.
But seriously, who else is left? Andre Dirrell still hasn't announced his return, Anthony Dirrell is still green and he already beat Bika. The only half decent guy left is Alan Green, and he just came off of a lopsided loss to Ward along with a KO loss to Johnson. That would be pointless. I'd prefer Pavlik.
EDIT: I forgot about Peter Quillin, but still, I prefer Pavlik.
