I guess Ward-Bute isn't happening anymore then.

Exactly, I don't know why this is so hard to understand. If Froch wants big money and a shot at the belt he needs to come to Canada.

Does he? If Bute doesn't get Froch he'll be forced to face yet another clubfighter leaving Bute as the laughingstock of the industry.

The way I see it Bute needs Froch more than Froch needs Bute.

I know Bute is the champ and all but Froch would be dumb to go to Montreal to fight him, I say don't, wait and see what happens, No champion would come to your backyard and fight you.... Well unless you are Team Khan!

This is the way I see it too, Bute need to face someone credible outside of his comfort zone, I know he makes money in Canada but all the European guys can also make money fighting mediocre competition while filling out arenas, The super 6 is over so he now need to prove himself.

Froch has already beaten the best fighter in Canada and has fought the best man in each of their own countries since.

Bute seems to be a good fighter, his Johnson fight was utterly tedious - its true like Froch says that glen postponed elbow surgery to dance with his friend Bute.

Anyway,

It's irrelevant what the IBF do - because Froch is locked-in to fight on May 5th as part of a huge night of boxing already.

Sky will show Froch homecoming from Nottingham, then will switch to America later in the night to show Mayweather.

The venue is booked and the sky schedule set.

Also Showtime have already ruled out Froch. So they turned elsewhere.

If people think the tin pot IBF are more important than the money men at Showtime or SKY then their deluded.

Bute-Froch would be awesome

The problem with Bute's overall unquestionable superiority is that he can't no longer find any credible match-up with a credible boxer. My advise is to get a second belt so people can't avoid you while evoking ridiculous, random reasons like he won't fight outside Quebec, he bribes the judges. These people obviously don't know **** about boxing in Canada. Many Quebec star-fighters lost decisions to foreign boxer in Canada in recent years: Jean Pascal, David Lemieux, Sébastien Demers, Adrian Diaconu, Sébastien Gauthier, etc. Stop it with your Andrade-Bute case or stop pretending you know anything about boxing. It's ridiculous, it just shows your profound ******ity, your immaturity and your hatred of the sport.

Bute should hold out for Dirrell or Ward. Froch doesn't really do much for Bute at this point.

What about Kessler?

Except being far and away the best name on his resume.....yeah nothing.
