    thats not official at all...........

    they don't even know if their gonna do a 2 fight deal.......all of that crap that team bute was chatting was just that. CRAP (or ideas being thrown out).......what they are certain about is that they want froch in canada FIRST......... and if froch doesn't like that, like butes manager says. hopkins at a catchweight can be a good option if no froch & ward.

      Yea it's not official but that's what they're looking at.

      The only fight Bute should come to the U.S is for Ward. That's it, that's the only fight that matters.

      What some people fail to understand is that Bute is an F'ing cash cow in Canada. More so than what Froch is in Notingham, maybe even more so than what Kessler is in Denmark, and it's not comparable to what Ward is to Oakland and Dirrell bro's are in Michigan.

      Right now there is absolutely no reason to come out of Canada...None unless is to fight Ward in the U.S. That's is....And, he has said he's willing to do it. Ward didn't show any interest in fighting him. Not saying that he wouldn't but he showed more interest in a Kessler rematch than a Bute showdown. Which is fine. But, lets not start blaming Bute for that.

      And, like I said right now there's propose two fight deal with Froch. One in Canada where Bute gets all the Canada money. And, the other one in Nottingham where Froch gets all the U.K money.

          Bute's not a mandatory and he he's fought no elite fighters at 168.
          The ridiculousness of Nsb is peaking. Ward is so good that the no.2 of the division is unqualified.

          I might sig this.

              Ward is so good that nobody is qualified to meet him. Maybe he really is the SOG after all. LMAO at these Ward-stans.

                  A undeserving challenger can not dictate to the champion.

                  Freaking Bute and Froch practically had there fight signed after the post-conference anyway.

                  Doesn't matter.
                  Assuming that you're speaking of Bute.

                  How's Bute dictating anything to Ward? By saying he wants to fight the lineal champ? By saying he would love it if it was in NY but he's willing to fight him in Oakland also?

                    I may admire that Ward entered this tourney and fighting top guys and he beat them all, but have you ever seen a Ward fight and say to yourself "WoW"? The answer is probably no and that's his problem and that's why he will never be a big draw. He is too defensive minded. It seems as if his opponent fights at a level 5 then he will only fight at level 6. he never turns it up and knocks a guy out. He just does not seem to have it in him to want to hurt the other fighter. Basically, he does not have a killer instinct and his offense seems reluctant.

                    I just don't see star attributes in Ward. Yes he wins, but there is really no excitement in his fights. He does just enough offensively to win and does too much defensively. He needs to take chances and go for the ko more often if not he will be a showtime fighter earning decent pay checks, but he will never be a pay-per-view fighter earning millions.

                    And what about that nickname SOG (Son of God) he is always claiming how humble he is, but yet he is basically calling and claiming himself as Jesus Christ!

                      If you're a Christian God is your father. You're a son of God. Now you just nitpicking and trying to hate the man for no reason.

                      Ward without a doubt is the best SMW in the World. And, he has earn the right to have a gimme or money fight in Oakland before facing Bute. But, Bute is deserving of the fight. And, the fight needs to happen. Hopefully it will at the end of 2012.
