the best fighter he has ever faced, as well as the hardest hitter he has ever faced...which really surprised me to say he was the hardest hitter he ever faced...but if he says this, i wonder how he will feel vs david lemieux...who im sure even @160 hits harder than bute @168... this is the fight i cant wait to see...though im sure GGG will beat him, i still give lemieux a very credible chance to beat ggg based on styles and power, which ggg aparently has never faced at pro since he thinks bute hit harder in the ams than anyone he has faced in the pros...
fighters always say the guys they beat up and KO are the best guys they ever fought I wouldn't read much into it
:huh Bute hits seriously hard and comes in on fight night around 185. I'd be seriously surprised if Lemieux hits harder than him, it's incredibly unlikely.
Where and when did he say this? I'm not really surprised considering Bute is quite big and is/was a good boxer and a good puncher.
GGG caught him with a perfect shot stunned him and dropped him and Bute was a skinny little dude back then, Froch took on a vastly improved more skilled bigger Bute with far better defense and annihilated him and came close to beating him to death.
