    How about Lucian Bute-Glen Johnson?

    Glen just loss a decent fight to Froch and Glen would be a good step up for Bute.

    Thoughts?

    Bute's people wouldn't do it. Glen landed some big shots on Froch, I doubt Bute has the same chin.

    If theyre gonna put him in a dangerous fight, they go ahead and make some $$$ against Kessler. Johnson is to risky.

        I'd prefer to see Bute in with Dirrell, Froch, or Ward.

        But I'd sooner see him in with Johnson than with Pavlik.

        If he stopped Johnson, that would be significant.

          Froch and Ward are busy.

          So is Dirrell.

          Johnson is available.

            Either Johnson or Pavlik would give Bute a fair fight but Bute needs to start fighting the top of the division, either Ward or Froch or whoever wins their fight.

              Bute vs The Super 6 Winner will be huge. Bute's people aren't gonna risk that by putting him in with Johnson.

                Bute will not fight Johnson, they wouldn't risk him with a good boxer.

                  I'd rather see him against Dirrell or Kessler or even Abraham. Facing Johnson wouldn't be that great of a risk for him because if he wins people will just say that GJ is old anyway. Better for Bute's first test to be against a younger fighter.

                    Who will he fight while he waits?

                    Aaron Pryor Jr?
