I really dont think so... Fights like this need to happen in boxing far more often...Why should it be more of a money fight if they both take on some more soft touches when they are clearly showing the potential to be world class. Sooner or later they are each going to need to take a fight that is high risk and not a mega fight, but that's how you make a name for yourself as a contender... THese two should definetly face each other, and from the attitudes of both guys, I really don't see much stopping it from happening.. Froch is obviously confident and willing to fight the best, and Bute is the same way, he has faced very respectable competition for his time as a pro and number of fights.. Great matchup, but I'd strogly favour Bute if it were to come off.. I am really sold on him, he's much more fundamentally sound then Froch and has very good power himself, as well as better speed combinations and accuracy, plus a southpaw to boot. Never know with a big puncher though.
