Lucian Bute (Boxing's most avoided fighter?)

[Ray*]

Wasn't he suppose to fight Pascal? And if Kessler did really turn down $3.5M then I don't know what to say anymore.

Can pascal even make 168 anymore? He put on all that roid muscle just to lose to bhop....................

No fighter is ducking Bute except maybe Pavlik with the bull**** he pulled this week. And Bute is not ducking any fighter either. What happened is the Super Six and he wasn't a part of it. So now all the other top supermiddleweights have had to fight each other first and Bute has had to wait. I don't know what the holdup on Kessler is though or AA. But once the Super Six is over I'm sure Bute will be fighting the other top guys in his division.

Patience. Just have patience.

Lucian Bute is the best super middleweight in the world.

First of all you have to be a complete ****ing idiot to think that Kessler turned down 3.5 million to fight Bute. If he were gna make that kind of cash then you can be sure Bute would be making 4.5 million. And if you think that Bute-Kessler is a 8 million dollar fight than you probably need to shoot yourself in the face and put yourself out of your misery.

What you can be sure of is that Kessler turned down a bigger payday against Bute to take less money against Stieglitz because he is afraid to travel overseas and get his ass k*cked like he did against Andre Ward.

That being said, when Bute insists on 60-70 percent of every purse and insists that every fight happen in Montreal with 2 Canadian judges and a Canadian ref it's a bit ridiculous to call it ducking for a fighter to not want to go into a situation where everyone within 20 feet of the ring is conspiring to rip him off and cheat them out of a fair shake.

Bute is a b*tch and when he fights someone who actually slips punches instead of blocking them with their face he will get exposed and beaten up.

Same goes for Kessler.

Though between Kessler and Bute I don't see either guy ever actually backing up their word and fighting a real opponent anywhere other than their own backyard.

No he isn't.

I bet Glen Johnson wants a piece. We know he turned down Pascal.

Kessler is debatable.

Who gives a crap about Pavlik? He ducked PW.
