Lucian Bute

[killersheep]

Bute is in a very good position at 168. He doesn't have too many big challenges at the moment, he should handle Miranda without taking much punishment.

Meanwhile the reasonable opposition is left destroying each other in the tournament, aside from Ward everyone in the tourney has taken a lot of punishment and there's a lot left to go. At some point Ward should meet some resistance and take some damage as well.

So once the S6 is over Bute should be able to handle the winner pretty easily.

if Bute was in the super six i'd say that it would be between him and Ward to win it

There are still a few options about.
A Pavlik fight has been mentioned as a possibility.
Stieglitz isnt great but atleast has a belt.
Dawson could move down or Bute could move up.
Bika is a reasonable opponent to keep busy with.
Maybe even Winky Wright might fight him if he gets a good offer.

Bute should Unify the rest of the Super Middleweight belts right now so that when the Super Six tournament is over they will have to fight him.

It'll never happen, but if Pascal was somehow to beat Dawson, which he won't, I could see a big fight being made between him and Bute. That fight would be massive in Quebec and perhaps the rest of Canada as well.

I think the fight has even broader appeal then just Quebec and Canada, although for sure that's its primary draw.

Expect 20-22 000 peoples to turn to the Bell Center to see that if ever it materializes and to sell every tickets within a few days.

As for Bute, HBO wants to make him fight PAvlik an the latest serious rumors are about the Dallas Stadium, I don't think they could fill the stadium but I reasonably believe that in the US, they could sell 15 000 easily but the thing which is confirmed 100%: HBO wants this fight bad so does the Bute clan, I personally think it will happen if PAvlik beats Martinez either in Montreal or possibly in New-York to allow fans from Montreal to fill the place easily.

Agree.

The only fight people haven't mentioned which I think is a strong possibility is a fight with Bernard Hopkins at 168. It's the only weight class in the area Bernard hasn't won a belt at and it would be a big money fight if held in Montreal.

Bute easily beats Pavlik.
