Who should be Lucian Bute's Next opponent?

[UppercutDamage]

Bute will fight Froch, not only will he beat him, Bute will destroy Froch in the rematch. Froch is defenetly going down this time.

Quebec in the house?

Pavlik is the genetic watered down version of Froch. He should fight him next.

Bullcrap in the 1st fight?
What do you mean?
Looked like a straight, on-sided beat down to me. Same as it would look in a rematch.
I always said that Bute's management took their plan straight out of the Frank Warren/Calzaghe play book. Now, that strategy has back fired on Bute and I don't believe he'll ever be good enough to beat one of the elites.

an easy tune up should come first, to get some confidence back and get warm after what should be a bit of a layoff after that beating he took.

after that a real fighter asap, hes too old to sit back and fight these C level fighters forever. a dirrell brother, pavlik, stevenson or kessler would be my first choice. anthony dirrell is the only option i find realistic though, still that would be great.

stieglitz would be alright as would edwin rodriguez, those are fights i could see happening.

lol, onesided beatdown like that does'n deserve a rematch unless you really wat bute's carreer to end.

count me in for the pavlik fight or any of the dirrels

Funny you should say this because from the beginning, Bute's management has made the wrong decisions for his career.
I don't see any reason why they should stop acting dumb at this point, so I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they went again and made the worst possible decision for Bute again by makinf the rematch with Froch this year.

Perhaps I should have started a poll.

Andre Dirrell...

I'll probably be banned if I go into that......

I'm familiar with both fighters and Bute is superior in every aspect (minus Froch's iron chin)

Once again, Froch will get the beating of his life in the rematch, I'm willing to bet all my points on this

And I'm not some crazy Bute fan or Froch hater

He needs to get back in with Froch. He needs to show the world he can do it, or else he'll never get credit for being tough, and if the rematch never happens it will be tarnishing to any legacy he could potentially have.

I agree he needs to rematch Froch because he has nothing to lose. I think he can only do better in a rematch. But first he needs a tune up against a lower tier fighter.
