A Letter to Lucien Bute...

[Gino Ros]

OK, Lucien... I see you.

You are up there in Canada and feasting on second-rate opposition. That's cool. You're making a nice living and packing the house full of Frenchies, eh? You got a nice thing going. You've intelligently parlayed a pretty face and some pretty wins into a spot on boxing's A-list. The white suits? Nice touch.

But you know what? Your time is coming. While you have faced Magee, Brinkley and Mendy, Carl Froch's last six fights are Ward, Kessler, Johnson, Abraham, Dirrell, and Taylor. And, oh yeah, Cobra fought Pascal.

Ask yourself tonight, Lucien, when you lay your head on your pillow: what would my record be in those seven fights?

I'm writing to you to put you on notice. I'm a patient man. I"m going to wait until you get into the ring with a live body. Then we'll see what's what.

In the meantime, I will close with these two words: Andre Berto.




Respectfully yours,

A Fight Fan

damn...the white Andre Berto

Its Lucian, but, what you typed is the truth.

What? Is it snowing in Brazil?

It is 7/29/11 and Gino Ross didn’t commence his day making a hate thread toward Manny!

A Mayweather fan questioning someone taking easy fights for the money?

I never thought I'd see the day.

Lucian Bute was a 100/1 favourite here in the UK against Jean Paul Mendy.

I mean, that's ****ing ridiculous.

Incredibley seldom will you ever have such a drastically wide favourite.

Which shows how credible his win over Mendy was.

I admit to being a bit of a Froch nutrider. But still. Compare Carl's opposition with Lucian's.

[Wazaa..]

Bute is clearly a genius. Why should he have to toil in the shadows like Froch and get his hands dirty for chump change when he could sit pretty in Canada and take stay busy fights for big money and know he'll get to fight whoever comes out of the super 6 anyway?

Boxing is a business, the best don't have to fight the best in order to be make money. This ain't the nba.

He will get his ass handed to him soon enough. When Ward or Froch steps up he is in big trouble.
