Who should be Lucian Bute's Next opponent?

[BoxingGenius27]

I'd like to see Bute fight Pavlik.

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

So you're saying something shady went down during the fight? Bute drugged or intimidated? Brits holding Bute's family hostage?

[danceswithfire]

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.

why is that? bute was believed to be the number 2 for a long time (even not being in the super 6) before the froch loss.

Yeah, number #2, based on hype and BS.
Who has Bute fought worthy of giving him the #2 position?

His management messed up because they choose to follow the Frank Warren "How to build & cash In on a hype" fight play book. Bute should have been making matches with the top contenders 3 years ago. Instead, his management wasted his time fighting C-level opposition, selling out box office in Quebec.
Bute needed to act like a real fighter and face top opposition as Froch's management team has performed well and arranged for him.

Lol what?! Why isn't someone calling this guy out for these ridiculous comments? Jesus christ... nsb man, only in nsb.

So Bute is superior in EVERY aspect is he? (direct quote)... well I got a youtube video you should check bra: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IhmWEm_hqg8

[UppercutDamage]

Lol what?!

So Bute is superior in EVERY aspect is he?

Yeah, that is pretty funny. The fight showed us all one thing, for certain.
Bute is a hyped C level fighter.
Bute could never beat Froch or Ward, and I really think that Dirrell may beat him even worst.
Bute's management should switch from the Frank Warren book, to whatever book Steigler and Strumm's management is using.
Bute should redirect his career to facing Euro-bums. He seems good at that.

If you're going to insinuate something shady then you need to have the balls to actually make the accusation. Don't be a ****ing *****. In reality you have nothing to say and you wanted to hide it behind the idea that you'll get banned for saying it (so what if you did? It's just a forum). Just admit that you don't like the idea of a brawler like Froch beating a more technical fighter like Bute. It doesn't compute in your head and therefore you don't like it. Back under your rock now.

[STEELHEAD]

i wonder if theres enough statis in a bute/jermaine taylor or bute/pavlik.
i believe both would play right into butes wheelhouse.

[Mr. Philadel]

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

since Bute has a European fanbase...he should fight Kessler in Denmark...you know, a tune up to keep the Dane busy

[UppercutDamage]

Bute would lose to kessler.
He needs to fight below that level.
Perhaps Alan Green, A. Abrahams, or maybe even, Mike Jones.
