Was Lucian Bute one of the biggest hype job that got exposed in modern boxing?

People always get wrong in boxing.

Many EXPERTS picked Bute to win...:conf

The purpose of this this thread is not to talk about boxing...

Its just about infuriating specific people (while looking ******ed).

To each his own! :good

 

No, I don't think he was. I still believe he's a good fighter but he has some flaws in his fighting ability, as opposed to boxing ability, and he can't take a good punch. He's not a hype job, he just has flaws. He may have met his match in Froch but I believe he'll win world titles in the future.

 

Well, the rematch is set.

Not sure a second devastating loss would be good for the future...

(not saying the result will sure be the same but hard not to acknowledge the possibility...)

 

Nobody forgot that.

And it would be impossible with you around here anyway

 

Do you realize that you post more than a hardcore Bute fan in threads about him ?

 

Get the **** out of here.

I've heard more bull**** about this or that fighter has "no chance" against Froch in large part due to the Bute win.

If Bute loses in the rematch, I'll be the first to man-up and say I was wrong.

Will you do the same if Bute wins?

 

How so? Did I not offer congrats to Froch immediately after the fight and say he was not the better man that night?

Ummm.... yeah, I did so kindly bottle that bull**** about me being "sore."

If you believe this, I have some swampland in Louisiana I'd like to sell you. :rofl:rofl

 

Not unless this thread is the biggest hypejob exposed on ESB. I mean... it's a pretty **** thread, but there have been far worse.

 

I think you didn't watch Bute boxing many times. People are not cheering for a hype.
We already compared Bute's record and it's not much worse than of Andre Ward.
Only Carl Froch met the best fighters of the super middleweight division.

It's lame to compare Bute with Lemieux, he's the biggest boxing star in Montreal of the many last years.

 

Who compared him to SRR?:think
Only you so far.
And if you check the pre-Ward fight predictions,many Froch fans highlight his weaknesses even more than Ward's strengths.
If you think having a laugh is the same as thinking Froch is the next SRR,I'll take 50 acres...
As long as you buy these ice cubes I've got that can survive long haul flights.:finger5
Anyone want to buy Hoopsman? I am the legal owner.:bart

 

What that **** are YOU doing here you ? :huh

 

I've PM'd you the details.:good
