Bute v. Pavlik

[Fenster]

With Kessler backing out of the fight against Bute to face Stieglitz in Denmark, how do you feel about Pavlik as an opponent? Bute and Pavlik are probably the two most reviled boxers in this forum. Pavlik because of Jack Loew's remarks about Calzaghe and Bute because Froch hates him. It's a win-win situation if one of them gets KO'd, right? I kid I kid. No, but really, it may be the best fight out there for Bute at 168 against someone who isn't in the S6.

You have to be kidding. Haye and Khan are the most irrationally abused fighters on this forum. And by a landslide to boot. Even Froch gets more shit than Bute and Pavlik.

In fact, I can't think of any Pavlik haters. And Bute only really has Bilbo. Which I guess does look overwhelming the amount Bilbo posts.

As for the fight - Pavlik seems lost to boxing now and doesn't look comfortable above 160 (albeit with limited evidence), so Bute by KO.
