Froch and Bute agree in principle to a Unification Fight

[CGM]

Why is that? The winner fights Kessler for a full unification in a pretty deep division.

It was an off the cuff remark I made after coming home from the bar, I didn't consider the Kessler angle, but sober I wouldn't change much here. It's just that in my opinion these two guys have a low stature. They are very ordinary as champs go. PPV buys would be very low. Now if you can think of any title unification bouts of the past between two fighters of lesser stature than these guys, I'm all ears.

I guess if by inconsequential you mean the fight won't make money, then sure. But, from a boxing perspective, it would pit the #1 and #2 super middles against eachother and that can't be inconsequential, can it?

So you are saying that all unification bouts are consequential then from a boxing perspective? or all weight divisions have consequential fighters at the top? I don't. SMW is at the bottom end of the list in terms of quality divisions. And these guys are low profile, this fight will be pretty much ignored except in Britain. But hey, that's just my opinion, you don't have to share it.

I have to disagree there. SMW is not at the bottom of the list in terms of quality opposition. But, that is a good thread idea. Maybe I'll start one
