    I think Abraham would have beat him ? How do you think bute would have done and who would have beat him?

    I believe Lucian would have had his best shot against Abraham. Dirrell sometimes shows mental weakness, so maybe Bute could have had some success with him.

    Everyone else beats Bute, and the two I already mentioned by name would have had a great chance at beating him, too. I especially believe that Jermain Taylor (pre-Abraham) would have had an excellent chance at beating Bute.

    At the end of the day though, none of them would have beaten him the way The Cobra did. None of them.

    Are you suggesting that they went easy on each other... because in championship bout freindship gets put to one side... i very much doubt that was an issue.

    The original six would all have beaten him.

    Froch, Kessler, Abraham, Taylor, Direll and Ward.

    Ward and Dirrell were acting like a couple of queens on Twitter during the fight, Dirrell in particular "Welcome to the real World Bute".... How that ***** has the audacity to criticise is beyond me.

    He'd have beaten Abraham and Taylor. Dirrell is a tough one to call as i'm not sure Dirrell has enough pop to really test Bute's chin and Dirrell is a bit of a fanny himself when he gets hit. Ward would outpoint him clearly. Kessler stops him.

    Bute is still a very good world level operator. He was just beaten by the better fighter last night. He still beats Abe, Dirrell, that version of Taylor, and Green

    Pretty much agree although Dirrell hits deceptively hard.

    King A lands a jab and bute would froze like yesterday, carl is an above average puncher, but if a p4p top 3 puncher like AA connects bute will sleep

    AA would give Bute the time and space to do damage long before he actually gets going himself, id still pick Bute by KO.
