    Some people say that Froch's power is overrated, but the facts are that Froch has fought some of the best chins in the business..
    Ward didn't have a great chin, but his ability to get inside and work prevented Froch from landing clean on his chin, a tactic that i don't think Bute will be able to execute.
    If Bute tries to walk Froch down like Kessler did, then he will get KTFO.
    I doubt that Bute's chin can hold up to Froch's power punches and i think that he will need to take some in order to win :deal

    Bute does not have a weak chin. He ran out of gas when he was knocked down in the fight with Andrade in the last round. In the rematch he easily knocked Andrade out! Bute is not easy to hit, and he is not Taylor! Bute has great stamina....................

    I respect your opinion. It may well be that you talk the truth. However, it's important that you eat your crow if that won't be the case.
    But... this sure didn't require a brand new thread. It could have been a post in one of the many Froch va Bute threads that are abounding here.

    Truth is that Ward refused to fight Bute and now Ward's fans are cutting him down like they and Void fans are cutting down Pac. Bute can never do anything right. If Ward had not refused to fight Bute, then Bute would be fighting Ward...........................that's is not Bute's fault..............Bute had gone 12 rounds without any trouble since the one time................

    I cannot guarantee anything, i can only state that Bute has a fragile mandible and he may have to take some shots to beat Froch, because i doubt that he will be able to get inside and avoid his power shots like Ward did..

    Froch has more speed and punching power than Bute. It was a fluke when Taylor rocked and floored Froch.

    Bute has been fighting weaker opposition than Froch. Somone is gonna be in for a big surprise when they feel the power and strength of a massive SMW.

    When Froch was knocked down against Taylor in the 3rd round, carl was smart he stayed down for the full 8 count got up and regained his comosure and lasted to the end of the round. It was a lucky punch that actually he didnt see comin

    Yeah, Bute may get surprised since he is used to fight second rate opponents in Canada..

    This will be good to bump after Lucian, completely dismantles him in his hometown. If somebody gets KTFO, it will be "iron chinned" Froch.

    Bute would be as surprised as Ward was when he faced Kessler.

    Bute is not fighting in his hometown either, and he will not need to ram carl with his head, and elbow him to win, like billy goat Ward.

    Yeah Froch is just a higher level fighter. It appears Froch is quicker, more skilled, bigger, stronger, bigger power puncher than Bute. Bute fights second rate opponents in Canada. Froch is elite.

    There was nothing in his entire pro career to suggest that he has a week chin. Stamina problems... be my guest to believe that. It happened in the Andrade fight, nothing to debate here. Was that a one-time event? I have no idea. But if odds are 50/50 for such a thing to happen in the Froch fight then I would put my money on the Bute - no stamina problems event.
    I say that there are a bunch of fighters that do not need a granite chin to be great or top 10 p4p. Personally I wouldn't like my favourite fighter to be labeled with a granite chin because that would mean a clear lack of defense. Guys with granite chin are guys that take a lot of punishment and, statisticly, those aren't ment to be great.

    Care to show us some videos as a proof? I think I haven't seen 2 or 3 of Froch's fights but those I've seen don't point to that at all. On the contrary.
