He's suffering from Joshua Clotteytitis.

Bute may have developed Punchitus the boxing equivilent of the Yips in Putting and Dartitus in Darts,where you just can't pull the trigger and fire your shots.

If Bute has something like this going on it is OVER.

[MrFynest]

Simple: after the beating Froch gave him his confidence was still low and he has since been scared of getting hit since he's a bit on the "chinny" side and thus became gunshy and scared to let the hands go.

[sergey.smith]

I agree with a lot of you. He lacked confidence and seemed "scared". If HBO buys a rematch of Pascal/Bute, the head of HBO needs to be fired.

Thought Pascal was gonna get robbed for a rematch.

$$$$$

I'm sure Bute can continue to make money in the sport and return to his winning ways.

But there's no way he's ever going to headline cards, get those million dollar paydays, or ever fight B or A class opponents again .

In order for Bute to continue to make money it means to accept to fight as a gatekeeper -- which I can't see him being able of doing... The guy acts candidly.

Bute doesn't deserve a rematch, he needs to retire. The past is the past, the future is now....if you don't know that, the past will always haunt you.

Bute is very much retired already -- I don't know if his promoters still think they could squeeze more money out of him.

Doesn't look stunning either. Bika is a good fighter, but he's not an elite level fighter by any means. If you look at Bute, he's had about 10 defenses of his IBF title - and I'm not even sure he fought 1 top 10 during his reign. At least not an established one.

That's quite disturbing.

man if he defended it 11 more times without fighting anyone in the top ten he could of broke calzaghes record
