According to Rafael.

He says Ward needs shoulder surgery and will be out for a 'considerable time'

Would love to see Bute-Pavlik since both are seemingly availible.

It sounds strange, but there are plenty of options for Pavlik, all because he signed to fight Ward.

Bute is stalling on a Froch rematch, so Kelly could be a Spring opponent for either. Would be a confidence boost for Bute who is likely to outbox Kelly, and it would be a name for Froch to smash and likely stop.

Also, i wouldnt bet against Kessler having one final payday in Denmark before a Froch rematch

Perfectly logical.

The only one I would bet against happening would be Dirrell. Kessler, Froch and Bute would all offer Kelly more money.

Stevenson would be good too, but no real money in it i suspect

Good shout :good both damaged goods so makes sense although if I remember I think pavlik turned down $1.3m to go to montreal about 18 months ago :stonk

Bute's collapse arguably makes it a 50-50. Pavlik would bite their hand off if he was offered $1m+ again.

He says he wasn't interested in a Froch rematch then complains about Froch fighting Kessler instead of him. So sorry about that injury Andre...

Pavlik would batter Bute IMO.

 

[Chatty]

Pavlik would batter Bute IMO.

All depends if he spends his time training in the gym or pub for me.

 

[Vano-irons]

Pavlik would batter Bute IMO.

I was never that sold on Kelly during his prime. Bute, despite his limitations, would win every round IMO
