Is Ward scared to face Bute?

[puga]

not really sure but dont know why he'd rather fight kessler again than bute tho....

[BoxingGenius27]

the boxing genius strikes again good ownage bro...people like to discredit others to feel better about themselves

It's crazy man; I don't understand it!

Nonsense. Ward just came off of two years of fighting the best competition around. Bute still hasn't fought anyone. Andre beat the breaks off the tourney favorite in his first tournament fight against Kessler, dominated Abraham, and made Carl Froch look like he didn't even belong in a boxing ring. And I love Carl Froch.

Ward doesn't need to answer to anyone at this point. He's the man at 168. If Bute beats Froch or Kessler easily, then we can talk.

It is assumed that Kessler will be another easy belt after Mikkel takes it off of Stieglitz.Then Ward would own 3 of the 4 major belts.It gives Ward more leverage in any negotiations with Bute.To me it sounds as if it is more of a business decision,while in the meantime Bute would have to prove himself against the better fighters that Ward has trumped.

To me,it is ok-let the fight brew up into something potentially big if Bute is successful against the top tier in his division...

People have said that Bute is a bum that Ward would easily mop the floor with.

But now that the fight won't get made at the moment, they're saying that Ward "deserves an easy fight" before fighting Bute.

Which one is it?

Bute gets smoked by ward.. bute is over rated and was nearly KO'ed by a inferior opponent..

This right here.

Green was whack and always has been whack. He also turned down a fight with Bute sometime ago. His power is also overrated. Didn't he back out of the Bika fight too? I think he did. Don't remember. Dude is whack, dude got a major push from boxing talk.com cuz' G. Leon was advising or his manager or whatever.

Jro on Ward vs Green in 2010 http://www.boxingscene.com/forums/sh...5#post8431055:

Andre Ward wins a decision, a very close decision. Maybe a split decision. And, I also think Ward will get dropped early in the fight.

Why'd you delete your post?

Be proud of what you wrote.

Don't just run in here saying Green was whack because I said he was solid and you seemed to think he was solid a few years ago until he lost.

Why are you waiting until fighters lose to call them whack and then deleting your posts after you're called out on it????

You've gotta be one of the most di****able posters on here.

I just want to know why Jro felt the need to delete his post, that's all?

I give up on BoxingScene. Bye.

No, Bute just needs to better his resume before facing Ward. That's all.

How? By fighting Miranda and Bika again? He beat them more impressively than Ward did.

Bute's resume is very good now. He's beaten good fighters like Andrade and Berrio, just not Kessler and Froch.
