This is how all threads should be regarding seeming mismatches. I came in here expecting to see a load of pissing and moaning but was pleasently surprised to see some good old piss taking

Good on Magee, hes had a decent run recently. Although I should think this will be a retirement fund. Unless he wins an eliminator with Clinton Woods to fight the Pascal V Hopkins winner. See, even boxing is getting green these days, recycling all these old "names".

Magee got knocked out cold by Froch at his worst, why is this even allowed.

He did but was in that fight and made Froch dig deep, Magee is leagues below Bute but with the fighters tied up in the super six Kesslers injury etc etc It is not the worst fight Magee is the European champ and is the mandatory fora world title on paper Magee is more worthy than Audley and Chisora for me.

He's a woefully deficient opponent, let's not get it twisted, and the sarcasm is deserved, but I challenge anyone to come up with a reasonable opponent at 168.

Bilbo?

[Rantcatrat]

Bute's situation is much different than Donaire's. Donaire had a ton of people he could have been fighting. Bute literally has none.

Bilbo?

Bilbo can't make 168. Fact.

Well as one who is not opposed to catchweights I would have just moved up to say 171-72 and fought a half decent opponent around there. Diaconu, Cloud, Erdei etc.

Both Bute and Erdei have weighed in voluntarily at 173 in fights the past couple years that would have made for an interesting fight.

Not sure what the story is on Dimitri Sartisan, I know he hasn't fought in a few months. Is he available or injured or what?

Were I Bute, and were I super ambitious (although admittedly I'm not. I would have sat on my ass and took joke fights for cash too) I would have made sure I got it on with my fellow countryman Jean Pascal. I'd have made it at a catchweight of 172 and had both of our titles on the line. To me that's a great matchup and a good weight for both fighters seeing as Bute has weighed 172 before and Pascal sometimes usually weighs in under 175 anyway.

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

Well I'm happy for Magee.
Maybe Bute will soften him up for a Degale fight in the summer

Ask Showtime but we're all bummed here in Quebec, believe me, we would have wished for much better but apparently it's a "wait in line" fight till the super 6 unravels, at least that's what the radio did suggest in a very diplomatic way here. The other option was the mandatory Paul Mendy but it's an even worst possibility and Interbox aren't interested one second in that.
