Is Ward scared to face Bute?

[Hayehammer]

since when are champs allowed "gimme" fights.. i thought being champ means you fight the next best guy

this "he deserves a break" is pu**y bull****

your the champ

FIGHT THE BEST AVAILABLE

I agree with you! Exactly his next fight should be against bute while he still has
a little hype left from winning a big event like the super six! wards needs a big fight right away because otherwise the boxing fans all over the world who watched the super six wont follow him! they rather watch how eddie hearn will get froch another title shot right in his next fight! Watch how sauerland will do great money with kessler! now that the super six is over wards promoter will protect ward like he is still a prospect and his last "fans" will run away from him!

But again how do we know Bute is the best fighter? Who has he really faced? a Back-up to the Super 6? I think he needs to fight at least 1 good fighter b4 he gets a shot. Bute is a good fighter but its hard to tell if he's good cause his comp. hasn't been good at all, he's fought solid fighters no1 at the level Ward has, N I like Bute but I'd like him to fight some1 that is good b4 Ward.

I guess some people feel that not getting invited to the SS = Free ride to fight tourny winner.

No SS invite = Automatic bid to fight winner.

What do I know. I must be smoking crack because that makes all the sense in the world.

So Ward is so dominant that nobody deserved to fight him? Not even no. 2 in the division. Lol.

[Lucky Jim]

Dirty fighter Ward knows Bute will destroy him.

Ward has just fought Bika, Green, Kessler, Abraham and Froch.

Now, four days after he defeated Froch and won the Super 6, people are saying he is "afraid" of a guy who's best win is Glen Johnson?

Some people need a life. Seriously.

This is what Im talking about. Let the guy breath for Christ sake.

Yeah. Surely hé Can have a gimme. Just don't say that Bute isnt a worthy adversary because hé is.

Bute is certainly worthy and I'd like to see the fight also, but I see no problem with it happening 2 or 3 fights down the road either. Neither of these guys are a household name, let it simmer until it's a super fight. there a plenty of good fights to be made at 168. Of course if it happens right away I have no problem with that either.

Ummmm........stat wise yes he has been dominate, he's only won 88% of his rounds in the SS. And lets see Bute hasnt fought any1 but a back up to the SS and he is crowned #2 b/c wat? I like Bute but beating inferior ppl shouldnt make you a #2 ranked IMO. All Im saying is that Ward has nothing to prove, Bute is the one whom needs to prove something and that isnt his fault cause he wasnt in the SS and that does hurt him b/c all the good fighter at that divs where in the SS, but I really think Bute needs to face Froch or Kessler b4 Ward.

[Mr. Invincible]

Who's to say Bute is the best guy, wat if Froch fights Bute and KO's him? Or what if Kessler beats Bute, does that make him the best fighter?

Uhmmm everyone who does boxing ratings ring a bell?
