    Why should he fight out of Quebec when he can make millions there and peanuts in the USA?

      Hell, never mind the USA, Ward doesn't fight out Oakland.

      The Bute hate is more American xenophobia.

        First time I really got to see Bute and I was quite impressed. Good solid boxer, controlled the distance & used his height & reach advantage well. Thought he could have stepped up the pace a little bit more & stopped Johnson who looked like he could go (but he's a tough fighter).

        Hopefully the winner of the super 6 fights him.

        Bute deserves a lot of credit for his performance.

            I think Bute's a good fighter but he needs to raise the level of his competition.

            Glen Johnson was a good start so let's hope it continues.

            I'd like to see him fight Dirrel, Kessler and of course Ward and Froch.

              Or Mayweather, or Roy Jones in his prime, or De La Hoya... need I go on?

              But that doesn't count, they are americans.

                Don't know about the post fight interview, but in the press conference and the French PPV interview, they clearly said they want the S6 winner next.

                  Bute would like to raise the level of his competition, as soon as he can get someone in that category to fight him.

                  He wanted to be in the Super Six, but was left out -- a big mistake.

                  Kessler already ducked him.

                  He is set to fight the winner of Ward-Froch, and will beat either one of them.

                    The difference is Ward is fighting in the Super Six final and not feasting on the Jesse Brinkleys and Brian Magees of the world.

                    Good thing Bute fought Glen Johnson otherwise his resume would be pretty lame.

                      Bute will knock out Ward.
