    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!
    The Son of Goat doesn't mind hurting opponents with his headbutts!

    He's just too feather-fisted to harm anyone with a punch.

      The Son of Dog is a very dirty fighter with his array of headbutts, elbows, etc., but Bute will destroy him anyway.

        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.
        dude, I don't give a red eyed **** what numbers bute can pull in canada.........I'm looking at the best interest for the fighters who's actually been putting in solid work. FROCH shouldn't have to go to canada just to fight bute........none of the super six contestants should have to go to canada after ripping themselves apart in this tough contest. **** THAT. also which interest are you talking about? ward showed no interest in bute??? dude. it's barely 2 days AFTER the tournament is over & you expect word to sit down & try to make a IMMEDIATE fight with bute???? WTF. ward said i want to let my body heal, & build myself back up in fighting shape after wards.....& in the mean time bute can fight a A class opponent.

        & then I'll fight him.


        like i said.......froch should also stick to his guns & NOT fight bute in canada for his next fight. NO WAY IN HELL.



        this is about pride & morals.

            You right it's not like Ward said he would like a rematch with Kessler to settle a score.

            Whatever man.

                I then suppose you agree with me saying that Ward should go to Denmark and face Kessler then. After All Kessler gave Ward a shot at his title in Oakland and hé vacated the WBC title in order to let the belt stay in the tourney even though hé didnt have to.

                    That would be the honorable thing to do.

                    But Andre "Son of Goat" Ward is a man without honor.

                      yea, after being asked if he'd ever like to rematch kessler........he also talked about light heavyweight.

                      the truth is ward is NOT fighting kessler in a rematch anytime soon (if ever) & he's not moving up to light heavyweight anytime soon.......

                      if bute wins against a A class opponent, that fight will be made in vegas or new york..........
