Perhaps it's a good thing he cant' break an egg. With the amount of dirty rabbit punches he lands in every fight (and with total impunity), someone would have suffered brain damage already. I'd like to hear the opinion of a chinchecker on this Has Bute dethroned Kirkland as the glass jaw king after the Froch debacle or is Mandingo still considered the #1 chinna chinned chump in boxing today?
I've been compiling the Official Rankings from all of the Chincheckers today and Kirkland is still #1 on 6 of 7 lists I've received thus far, mine included. Bute is definitely a threat to reach #1, however, his Chin is awful.
Yeah, it makes sense. Being KOed by Froch is hardly comparable to being KOed by a featherfisted japanese journeyman, Bute hasn't visited the canvas so far either. I'd say Kirkland's glass crown is secure for now
Exactly, Kirkland will forever be a runaway favorite for Glass Jaw King based solely on the Ishida fight because it was truly one of the most appalling displays of Mandibular Fortitude I have ever witnessed.

Bute needs to beat a top fighter to fight the number 1. Froch, Dirrell, Kessler all deserve a fight with him. Ward told Bute to beat a top fighter as he had not done so seeing as he didn't participate in the Super Six. A perfectly reasonable request. As things turned out, the first A-level fighter Bute fought, he got absolutely destroyed. Bute needs to go back to the drawing board, if he wins a rematch, Ward should fight him.
Yeah, but he has other tools and that works for them. Big power punches work for power punchers, and technique and ring IQ work for those without the heavy hands.
