    Bute, Sartison, Stevenson. Ward is too good for them. Beating Rodriguez proved it.

        Knocked out lineal LHW Champ Chad Dawson (albeit not at his most comfortable weight) and then had a tune up against an undefeated top 10 contender. The rest of the time he was inactive.

            He wont be getting that much for this fight. Apparently he has turned down bigger purses for lesser names.

              Why don't sauerland match up Kessler with Abraham . They promote both fighters.

                TV rights difficulty.

                Abraham is contracted to a free to air channel in both Denmark and Germany whereas Kessler is a PPV star in Denmark.

                  Everyone?

                  Andre Dirrell
                  Anthony Dirrell
                  Lucian Bute
                  George Groves
                  James Degale
                  Robert Stieglitz
