Well that would make sense then. He still seemed hungry for another shot at a big fight during his last outing so hope he's back in the ring soon.

His fight with J-DON was a classic.. Good fighter don't see him being up with top competition but a good journeyman/Gatekeeper.Quote:

Bute spanked him.
I think he'd make a good opponent for Froch or Inkin, he has enough power, determination, stamina, and dorty tricks to see if these guys really have what it takes.
Totally agree thats why he was badly knocked down against Jaidon because Jaidon countered with a shorter hook which countered Sakio Bika's wide looping shot and if he doesn't improve on that he won't last long at the top level.Quote:

He may, with a good trainer, shorten his punches a bit but they'll still be telegraphed. He is what he is, a hooker.
To be honest though POB has Sakio Bika really been ducked by top boys ? Joe Calzaghe/Lucian Bute both fought him and Librado Andrade was willing to fight him but Sakio Bika turned it down so to be honest the situation Sakio Bika is in now where he can't get a fight is his own fault IMO.Quote:

Oh, you're absolutly right... He def is a portion of the problem but we saw the fits he's given to top level guys... That's all I'm saying. All that for very little reward.Quote:

I think an Andrade fight would be extremely crowd pleasing...
