First of all, Bute was a really good fighter in his prime so not sure what you're crying about over there. After Ward won the super 6 (Ward reportedly asked that Bute not be invited, and inexplicably, Bute wasn't, even though he was ranked high, higher than Ward, in the rankings) Bute was the logical fight and Ward said he wanted it, before he said he didn't want it. You do remember that right??? He honestly sounded like a ***** when he said he didn't want it. Spin that however you want.

Second, you continue to show an inability to read comprehensively. The Bute fight in Canada was offered to Ward and he turned it down because he knew he couldn't KO him (he couldn't KO anyone) and knew if it went to decision in Canada Ward would not be getting the home cooking.
Turning down the Bute fight is relevant, not because Ward was scared of Bute, I don't really think he was...but because he was scared without everything in his favor he didn't think he could win on the cards. If you can't process that, I can't understand it for you Curtis.
