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.Originally posted by The Weebler II View PostNot really in the case of Froch. He has unfinished business with Kessler so I would not be surprised to see Froch/Kessler II in Nottingham.

You can consider it vacant but you'd be wrong. What a linear champ wins in the ring can only be taken from him in one of two ways as I said.
In any case I don't expect either Andre or Froch to be scared of Bute. (assuming they are paid what is appropriate for the #1 fighter in the division.)

Both guys beat Bootay IMO, but Ward is going to win tomorrow so I say give Bootay his chance
Ward - Bootay
Froch - Kessler II

And no top fighter is scared of any other top fighter. What they're scared of is the risk being greater than the reward - of losing out financially. Which is why Jones-Hopkins 2 didn't happen until it was too late to matter any more, and why Lewis-Bowe never happened at all. They weren't scared of each other, they just thought they could make very good money while taking lesser risks. And the Super 6 winner may well consider Bute to be a lot of risk for not enough reward. But that would devalue the lineal title to the point it would become worthless. When boxing the business *****s boxing the sport, both suffer in the long run.Last edited by Dave Rado; 12-16-2011, 09:36 PM.

And how often has Ward fought outside the USA? This is his first fight for a long time outside California FFS. At least Bute has the excuse that the figures don't normally stack up unless his fights are in Canada. Bute is one of the biggest draws in boxing today when his fights are in Canada but is not a big draw anywhere else. What excuse does Ward have? He's not a huge draw anywhere. And nor is Froch, BTW.
