    Obvisouly his next fight will be against a guy who will make him look good nad get his confidence back.

    An Omar Sheika type opponent.

      Sakio Bika

      This would be a great choice. You give Bute a fight where he would be the favorite against a guy that's not elite at 168 but will be a tough fight and a good test for Bute to gauge himself after the Froch fight. If he looks good against Bika then he can look for guys like Kessler, Dirrell, maybe Froch

        I think Bika may beat Bute, even in Canada.
        Bute needs someone with less resistance.
        A fight with Bika (who is hunger as a wolf) may prove to be too much for Bute coming off of that horrendous KO.

          Omar Sheika would be an excellent warm up match for Bute.
          Book it!

            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.
            Froch's power beat Bute, Ward doesn't really carry that kind of power. I wouldn't mind seeing Ward v Bute.

            Are you talking about Bute's trainer's claim in a Romanian paper about Froch's gloves? it's nonsense, Froch isn't wired that way, so I wouldn't go putting any points on Bute in a rematch on that basis.

              Did you guys start following boxing this year? Bute already fought Bika and dominated him.

                Bute could fight the winner of Stieglitz vs. Abraham to get his confidence back.

                  If he wants success with his comeback, he should start with a couple easy confidence building fights and work his way back slowly, one fight at a time.

                    that's what I'm talking about, this idiots haven't even seen Bute's fights, yet they claim he only fought bums

                      I think he should move up to LHW. He dehydrates way to much at 168. If he will not I reckon he should do the gutsy thing and rematch Froch in Canada.
