      This is one of those occasions I wish I had better searching skills.

      Because I would love to bump up one of those threads where people actually thought Bute was the man at 168 AFTER Ward had won the Super Six (not forgetting Froch's stellar work in the SS too).

        It's funny how Froch, Bute, & Kessler keep talking about fighting each other but then they end up fighting lesser competition. Pavlik should strike while the kettle is hot and get a piece of the action while all this confusion is going on. I think Pavlik can beat any of the 3 if he stays focused and takes another fight beforehand to knock of some more rust. He's only a couple years from his dominance in the sport and he is still young.

        There is too much talent in the division for all these guys to not be fighting each other.

          Why rematch Bika when he won the first fight? Why not get revenge against Froch? I guess I know the answer to that.......I expected more from Bute, he is coming off as the puss that people have said he was.

            Froch is the one who actually wants the big fights. I don't think he cares for glorified tune-ups like Mack.

            The other two look like a million dollars when they're fighting average fighters. Different story when they've stepped up.

              First off...love the sig haha! I have nothing but respect for Froch. He has been fighting the best for the past 4 years. Classic throwback fighter! I think Kessler showed true grit when he was hurt against Greene and came back with the KO. Also he put up a helluva fight against Froch. Not sure why the Bute or Froch matchups haven't been thrown his way yet. I blame the promoters/managers. Bute is a fraud and I've been hollering that forever. You won't get any disagreement with me on that one. I do think Bute vs Ward would make a good fight stylistically though. Good fights need to be made in this division already!

                  That was one of my good picks last year. I sure didn't think he'd do it so dominantly, but I did pick Froch by KO. I was surprised by how favored Bute was.

                  Me and Bush were two of the few with that prediction.

                    Bute needs to fight someone already or get beat by Froch again but enough tune ups already.

                      I can't remember what I picked. Bute, quite frankly, was a mystery at that point. There was/is talent there but he had never been tested against another elite fighter.

                      And yet there were people that were adamant he was the man at 168, despite what Ward and Froch had done in the Super Six.
