I have Froch ahead of Ward atm because of resume (his is better imo), but no doubts this wk end decides division supremacy. Bute doesn't just get to be regarded that way... these guys proved their worth in first rate tournament completion.

But he’s almost been preserving himself, just trying to wait for the winner of this tournament, while we’ve been putting in a lot of hard work. … We have nothing else to prove, in terms of who’s the best, after this fight. He has to come to us. We don’t have to go to him.” [Click Here To Read More]

Now if Ward wins I am more inclined to a neutral location because he can't draw like Froch can.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is Bute should have no say where this fight takes place, same goes for Kessler.
I don't really care where it's held though, as long as it happens. But wherever it's held, it's very important that the officials are all from neutral countries.
That said, this is rather hypothetical because I would be flabbergasted if Ward doesn't beat Froch. In my eyes that would be a huge upset.Last edited by Dave Rado; 12-14-2011, 09:53 PM.

If Bute wants to call himself #1 he HAS to fight the winner.
Froch/Ward winner will be the SMW king until they are de-throned by someone or leave the weight.

if you're like ward with a long speedy accurate jab you basically already beat butay. & add wards very quick combos & butay is at a lost..........
bute = media hyped joke.
ward will be looking for bute & bute had better fight like you promised...........Last edited by americanbot; 12-15-2011, 06:31 AM.

Kessler has a bigger claim in my opinion to be ranked 3rd best at 168 than Bute.
1-Ward
2- Froch
3- Kessler.

Originally posted by Dave Rado View PostThat's not being disputed by anyone. But if the Super 6 winner refuses to fight Bute, that would be a clear duck and they would then lose all credibility as the lineal title holder.
Personally I feel the winner should take a well-deserved break and let Bute fight the loser or Kessler first. Before giving him a shot.
