    Seriously who is left for Bute right now?

    These are all of the decent fighters who aren't tied up in the Super Six:

    Andre Dirrell - Still hasn't announced his return and I'm sure he'll want a tune up anyways
    Arthur Abraham - He's returning to 160
    Anthony Dirrell - Still kinda green and has a big test ahead of him
    Mikkel Kessler- Bute AGREED to fight him later this year, but Kessler opted to go for an easier title shot. That's not Bute's fault
    Sakio Bika - What's the point? He already beat him once.
    Allan Green - The dude lost every single round against Ward and got KO'ed by Johnson
    Peter Quillin - Still green. Needs to step up the level of opposition.
    Pavlik- This is who he's most likely fighting next

    So out of everyone on this list, only Green, Quillin and Pavlik make any sense at this point. I'd prefer Pavlik over Green, and I need to see more from Quillin before I'll want to see that fight. He's fighting Pavlik, so why is everyone b**ching about his opponents?

    Why not Hopkins? Old man Bernard expressed an interest in fighting him on Bute's homeground!

          Yes, he is. Which is why I don't get why people complain about his level of opposition. Aside from Pavlik, the only good fighter left was Kessler and he took the easier route. That's not Bute's fault.

                  You guys aren't serious, right? Pavlik, Green, Quillin > Both of them

                    Let me go through phone books from Chicago, Mexico City,Kiev, Paris and Frankfurt.

                    I am sure I can find a few decent opponents listed amongst garbage men, taxi drivers or my personal favorite ditch diggers.

                    At least compared to recent opposition
