Is Lucian Bute the most ducked man in boxing?

[Flux]

So Bute's not at all to blame? During the course of the Super Six he could have easily made the jump to 175 and put himself in the mix with Hopkins, Dawson, Cloud and Pascal, but chose to stay at 168 and fight Brinkley, Magee and Mendy.

Moreover Dawson is just coming off a win over Hopkins, who said he would never fight Ward because they have too much respect for each other. This is like Ward's little revenge mission, when Bute beats Froch (a guy who Ward won almost every round against with a damaged hand) I'm sure Ward will be willing to fight him.

As of this moment Bute could do with fighting a top 5 opponent for once, and Froch was willing to do that even after a taxing tournament like the Super Six.

I'm not sure who you're talking about when you think Ward went life and death with, considering the fights they have in common are Miranda and Bika. Ward is not a power-puncher, but won every round against Miranda, Bute being the power-puncher of the two knocked him out. Moreover, Ward basically treated Bika as a sparring session, and actually fought Bika's style to test himself, and beat Bika at his own game.

Lastly is this guy a troll?

nobody has ducked him
he sat it out while the best SMW's were scrapping
Froch might not be the guy to do the job
but soon enough someone will get to Bute
most likely it will be Ward

Pascal challenged him two times here in quebec's tv show. Pascal wanted to proove who is the king in town. Bute refused both times saying he can't moove to 175 and things like that, meanwhile they were trying to make a fight against Pavlik, who is a former 160 lbs. I had no respect for Bute's team at all, until he accepted to fight Froch in his town, now I respect him more. Hopkins was also interested to fight, same for Andre Dirrell.

why sshould bute move to 175? and people saying about andrade they are somewhat right,the referee saved him but what happened in the rematch?bute beats ward..period......if bute kos froch(doubt it) i think ward should fight him immediatly...

[doninlouisiana]

He never leaves Montreal to fight anybody! The exact reason why he will lose to Froch.

Nobody said Bute is the 2nd coming of Roy Jones jr. I know he isn't. The point is as you pointed out in your post. .Ward have no excuse NOT TO FIGHT HIM

That's right. I know Bute got brutally koed by Andrade, he did dominate the rematch. But his record essentially have one loss on it.

It makes no sense that Ward fight Dawson in a no seller fight instead of Bute in front of 20,000 people in Montreal

You are aware Bute hasn't lost? He almost got his ass knocked out but he got saved thanks to the bell/ref.

IMO Ward or Andre Dirrell box circles around this dude.

While the SS was going on, Bute called out Cloud at 175. Team Cloud gladly accepted. Then Team Bute got scared and went to fight some bum at 168.

Bute's not fooling anyone with that crap.

ward ducked Bute big time

the chicken that called lucian a bum has made every excuse possible to explain why he did a 180 and decided to avoid the fight with bute he wanted so bad before the fight became a reality...bute sells out to 17k in his home town and is the ibf champ...he earns loads and could easily stay in canada but chose to fight in the uk for his legacy...bute is the best at super mid and i think he would stop ward....if i was selling out full arena's like bute i would be staying put, it is a buisness after all.... bute to beat froch then ward (if ward mans up) bute hater>>>>

[gaz26]

bute to spank froch

bute has something dirrel and ward do not have...power!!! bute will punch holes in the dirrels and andre overrated chicken **** ward.......froch is only fighting the top guys one after the other because he knows he shouldn't be at this level still with his limited abilities and knows the only reason ppl watch is coz of his block punches with ur face style...ppl say froch is elite...but he isnt, he just challenges them....bute will prove he is the no1 at this weight

[BigSpell]

Bute had a chance to join the super six tournament but was scared to face that type of competition back to back that ward did. Nobodys ducking bute!
