If Bute fights well and wins a fair decision in front of a sold out crowd, that would be good for boxing.
It would also be good for boxing if a fighter who has avoided nobody and travelled abroad many times, is given the credit, should he win clearly on points, and not have to face accusations of a home town desicion, just because he hasn't knocked Bute out.
Correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't Froch the same fighter who would of been stripped of his title if he didn't fight Jermaine Taylor? Isn't Froch the same fighter who bitched and complained that he had to face Mikkel Kessler in Denmark? Even using a volcano eruption as an excuse to try and get out of the fight? Isn't Froch the same fighter who threatened to pull out and even retire if he couldn't face Arthur Abraham in Nottingham? Isn't Froch the same fighter who had to be threatened with legal action in order to reach a compromise and face Abraham in Switzerland?
