    Bute would want to impress so it could happen but it would be dangerous for him! If he want to dig that body he will have to get hit!

    lol, sparring win! That would be a first. Sparring was in 2008 maybe 2009. Bute is obviously better. I don't think Johnson got any better.

    As for fighting in Canada, juges will be from around the world. And since Andrade fight #1 and until last fight in Romania, no canadian referee for Bute's fight. I don't think anyone wants any controversy. Neutral judges and ref.

    I don't talk about it to make an excuse for that fight but to judge Bute at his real value. The Bute we saw against Andrade the first time has nothing to do with the real one. In addition, Bute improved a lot since that fight.

    I don't understand why are so much Bute haters. Is because he's romanian or what? I saw some big mouths that laugh at Bute that he's not a good fighter, that Ward would f*ck him up etc.
    I don't think that is Bute's fault that he didn't have tough opponents.
    He's a champion and you have to remember that.

    I don't see that he has so many haters (except posters who are trolling the Bute hardcore fans), but more people are questioning Bute's level of opposition (they do have a point), and arguing with those posters who rank Bute ahead of Froch and Ward. Based on achievements to date, I can't see any rationale for ranking Bute ahead of those two. Skill set wise, they have an argument perhaps, but not on record to date.

    Me, I see Bute as a legit top 3 in the division, who is finally making the step ups in competition that people have been wanting to see - both Bute fans, and those who are not. Now we'll see where he's at.

    :good

    I love "The Time Collector" but i see Johnson as the more powerful fighter too.

    Well in the second fight, i saw Andrade maybe fought his best rounds ever. Jabs and combinations conected and put a lot of pressure on Bute. Obviously, Andrades game plan was to maximizer the pressure from round one. He was simply to confident and even after the first kd, he went on............:oops:

    Ha, ha, as a joke is good.


    First, Bute clearified the matter with Andrade in the second fight.We didn`t have a rematch at Hopkins-Pavlik.Because we didn`t need it .This goes to...

    ...secondly if you still compare Bute -Andrade first fight with Hopkins-Pavlik you won`t find similarities but in reverse way:Hopkins dominated Pavlik but Bute dominated Andrade and still won legitimaly.So just the final was not enough for Andrade and in fact he was the one who had to demonstrate is better than Bute...

    Hey everyone , I think Bute will win this fight by decision . Glen is a true/tough fighter , still competitive but he's old now , he's speed and reflexes have slowed !
    I would like to see Bute against Froch or Kessler !!
    P.S Bute fought with Sakio Bika,Andrade,Miranda & Brian Magee , as well as the fighters from S6 ( Ward vs Bika&Miranda ; Kessler vs Andrade ; Froch vs Magee ) but the difference was that Bute schooled these guys .

    Bute's skill level and steadily improving punching power make this fight one-sided in favor of the Romanian.

    They are former sparring partners, this is not a test for Bute, he is fully aware of what he is dealing with. Thus he is fully prepared...great PR though for the build up against the Super 6 unified champion.

    I like Bute & I hope to move to Canada....but FIGHT ANDRE DIRRILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    ps If Bute ko's Johnson Froch will just say I took everything out of Johnson before Boot beat him (Bute as Froch says it) or I retired him lol

    i agree, bute will be the first to KO him, i say he goes down by round 8,

    i hope to see many haters come back and face the music. cant wait untill the 5th, we will have to keep on deffending bute honner against blinded hard core haters even after he clearly takes him out better than any opponent he has had before. the heard will be thined a bit after johnson and a bit more after froch, ward and kessler. i bet there will still be haters who wont be convinced. its sad that u need to put down one fighter to praise another:thumbsup
