I feel like BUTE is on easy streak with that belt he should really be in the super middle wieght tournament. Will he Ever fight another belt holder or take the easy route? I think if he entered he'd be the worst fighter in the tournament.

I think Bute has the potential to be the best fighter in a stacked SMW division. He was in a tough spot after the Andrade fight. He agreed to a rematch because of the somewhat controversial nature of the fight, which he had to do or he would have be justifiably raked over the coals, but as a result he was unable to get into the Super 6. If he was in the tourny though I would favor him to win, but not without losing along the way. I think he'd beat Kessler, Froch, Abraham, and Taylor/Green; but Dirrell and Ward would give him some trouble.
I like Bute alot he is very skilled fighter, not alot of options at 168 for him at the moment.
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.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
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.
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.

That's the way it is, not the way it ends
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.
