    Bute wasn't just an up an comer. He was an established draw in Canada and many had him ahead of Froch as a fighter in 168.

      Dec.27/2011.

      “I believe it will be made at some point, but I do believe he has to beat some good fighters. He needs to beat one or two good guys, A-level guys, and even in some cases come out of his hometown and do it to get a shot,” Ward told On the Ropes radio. “I think with some of the talk lately about me ducking him, I think after the schedule that the combatants in the Super Six have been on in the past two years, it’s really foolish to even bring up the notion that somebody is ducking Bute. I mean that’s just not the case. Like I said, I believe that’s a fight that should be made and will be made, but at the same time we have to be smart in this game.”

      “I mean I’ve heard Dirrell say he wants to fight Bute, and Dirrell’s on the comeback trail. I think that would be a great fight,” said Ward. “Carl Froch, I think personally Froch will probably take a tune-up fight or a lesser fight to kind of regroup, but that’s up to his team and after that I think he should go to Lucian Bute. Those are the kind of guys I think he needs to beat and then I think the fight would even be bigger, and I think he would then warrant a shot at some of the big belts that we have.”

        Ward always has an injury when its convenient for him.

              Dre avoided Bute, it's well documented, but none of the others. Dirrell avoided him, actually.

                Based on what? He got knocked senseless against Librido Andrade and the ref stepped in to save his life.

                Boo-Tay. I guess that Murderer's Row of Jesse Brickley, Brian Macgee and Jean Paul Mendy makes you the man to beat in the division.

                  Bute refused to get in the super 6

                  Dirrel dropped out of the super 6

                  Degale just hit the big stage'

                  Stevenson doesnt want to fight anyone with a pulse
                  This right here.

                  I'm still waiting for Stevenson to get a meaningful fight
