Lucian Bute Should Move Up And Fight Jean Pascal.

[Fenster]

It's not as simple as that.

1. He has to chuck away his IBF title and get the WBC to rank him at lightheavy. Fighters only chuck titles when they become bigger than them, (the title gives them a money guarantee) Bute isn't big enough for that yet.

2. The supermiddle division is packed at the moment. I'm sure some of the Super Six losers will make for good fights soon. Lightheavy has no-one but Chad Dawson, who is worth two bob moneywise, so where would he go after that?
