Comments Thread For: Andre Ward on Kessler’s KO of Green, Response to Bute

[FUC_U_PAYME]

I notice you ducked the rest of my post. Who was Andre Ward before he got a shot at Kessler? I'd say his resume was even more lacking than Bute's is currently.

But we know your standards change across certain boundaries

bute was a champ fight bums
wards was not a champ fighting bums before kessler so whats your point

[Dirk Diggler UK]

He was a prospect. But we aren't talking about Ward from x amount of years ago. He's proven himself. Bute has to do the same.

But he hadn't proven **** when Kessler gave him a shot.

He would love a rematch with Kessler, but will he travel for it? I doubt that. Ward is a stay-at-home-in-jOakland fighter.

What ridiculous logic. The onus is always on a fighter to continue to prove themselves. Lucian who? Who the hell was Andre Ward before Kessler agreed to fight him in his hometown? Lucian Bute was the next guy in line at 168.

Has Chad Dawson even fought at 168? How is he one of the best at 168?

Ridiculous logic ?

Chad is a former super middle weight and is unbeaten at that weight,and he is the linear champion at 175.

Is floyd one of the best at light middleweight title and not at lightweight ?

Chad says that he can comfortably make 168, its not like he will be a completely different fighter at that weight especially when the gab between super middle weight and light heavy is small.

Ok but who said he had?

[BattlingNelson]

Well said by Ward. Keeps fighting the best too. A decisive win over Dawson would be huge.

And he will get the win.


I disagree on your notion that Bute has to prove himself. Bute is the one SMW out there that Ward needs to beat. And who is more qualified anyway?

Still a decisive win for Bute over Froch, which I Think will be the outcome on saturday, is a perfect way to set up a Ward-Bootay clash.

Given who he's already beat, what makes Bute more qualified?

So why is he suddenly master match maker when he got a title opportunity after having proved *** all? Bute has proved a lot more than he had when he got a shot at Kessler. Everyone knows Ward-Bute was/is the fight at 168.

No win on Bute's resume stands out, but as an undefeated champion outside the s6 he was definetely the Best opponent the s6 winner could face.

Now Ward takes on Dawson and Bute has Froch. Both are bonafide Big fights, but Bute-Ward would have been better IMO.

Master matchmaker? You mean, he has a say in his fights? Why is he suddenly having a say...in his own fights? :

Chad Dawson is a better fighter than Lucian Bute. He may not prove to be as good at 168. He may prove to be a beast. Who knows?
