Dawson Looking To The Future; Where Does Bute Go If He Beats Andrade?
November 7th, 2009
By Peter Wells: Chad Dawson who today is scheduled to fight Glen Johnson is already mentioning future opponents, including Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones Jr and Jean Pascal. It usually is a bad idea to look past your next opponent, but is Chad really that confident of winning he’s already suggesting other opponents. I do believe Dawson will win and a fight for the WBC Light Heavyweight title which he vacated to fight Johnson would be great especially against a class opponent in his own age category who be great, and maybe the winning between Dawson and Pascal could fight the winner of Hopkins-Jones.

Where Does Bute Go If He Beats Andrade?
Lucian Bute is a bit stuck in the middle here, by not going into the super six tournament, then he isn’t left with many fights. If he beats Librado Andrade again they’ll be no point in having a trilogy, and even if he loses and has a rubber match next year, he’s still got over a year to wait till the top fighters are available to fight. The only other two fighters in the top 10 (according to Boxing Monthly) are Sakio Bika and Allan Green and they aren’t exactly great opponents if he wants to be well known in America. His only chance is if he moves up to Light Heavy and fights someone like Dawson or Cloud, or hope Kelly Pavlik is willing to move up a couple of pounds. If you ask me he should have entered the super six, but now he’s stuck with very little fights out their for him. If you have any suggestions on good opponents for Lucian Bute please say. Thank You for reading.

Dawson wants to fight Hopkins or Jones??? how about he fights someone under 40 years old?. hes a joke full stop. How can you take this man seriously?? How ?? really how??. If he was British all the Spams would be on his back bigtime and rightly so. I dont wanna see another article on this non entity ontill he proves his Metal in a worthwhile bout.
to bad that we couldn’t see a Bute-Froch fight before the super six. Bute is to good for Froch and more skiled. Bute will beat Froch any day of the week and twice on sunday.
Bute is a great fighter with an good amateur career. I think after he’ll beat Andrade again he has 3 options: 1. he can fight Miranda and i think it will be the same result as the Zuniga fight 2. He can wait until the super six will be end to fight with the winner in a superfight unification 3. he can move up in weight to fight some big name in the lightheavy division such Chad Dawson. Anyway Lucian Bute deserve to fight with big names in America.
…….I think bute did the best thing ….let them kill each other and see what happens …..he still young and he just got there ….after andrade he will have to face the mandatory ….then it could be green, miranda, pavlik,forget bika he already beat him 3-4 years ago…..maybe go back in romania to give a fight to his people there he could fight some danish or german fighters ……I don’t think goin light heavy would be a cleaver move he is not a very big middleweight even if he is not he is not that muscular and strong…..in maybe 3-4 years from now lightheavy will be an option but for now there is still a lot of guys in supermiddle
Miranda might be a good fight for Bute, and Miranda [usually] has a crowd pleasing style.
