Which belt holder at 168 and 175 do you give Bute the best chance of beating?

If Bute wants to be a world champ again at 168 or 175, who do you believe he should target (assuming those with scheduled defenses win their next fight, and only one world champion is recognised per sanctioning body).

 

I think he has the best chance of shattering a glass chin. Thus Jack and Stevenson would be in trouble. Being that Stevenson has an equal chance of shattering Bute's chin, let's go with Jack (although he won't be champion for much longer).

 

Clearly would be Jack followed by AA.

 

Hope Froch commentates for sky sports when Groves gets the belt off Jack and tries to one up him beating up Bute in a few rounds. Froch won't have a good word to say about either of them.

 

Bute would destroy Abraham.
Jack could be tricky, as could DeGale.

Stevenson....IDK....too soon for Bute to fight a puncher.
Kovalev beats Bute worse than Froch did.
The obvious best fight would be Ward.

Both are rusty....or have the built in excuse.

Ward doesnt have a seek and destroy style to make Bute nervy, and doesnt have a counter to deter Bute's L hand UC to the solar plexus.

I'd tip Bute to KO Ward in 8, same as I always have.:think

 

I'm not sure Sky are even showing that, but he's likely to be at the Joshua fight that night.

 

Badou Jack or Abraham, Bute is still very tentative. Badou really isn't a class guy and Abraham isn't really gonna throw much so very good chance against either. Degale may be 50/50 but Ward and Stevenson no chance, and against Kovalev, I doubt he makes it out of round 2

 

Funniest post ever Bute to Ko Ward

 

Styles make fights.

George Foreman ripped thru Joe Frazier like a hot knife thru butter, whereas Ali went life and death with him for 41 out of 42 rds.

Triangle theory's are false arguments.

Imagine preFroch Bute draining Dawson to 168.

He'd KO him worse than the Superbiitch did.

See what I did there.atsch

 

You're right styles do make fights, Bute doesn't like people up on him crowding him and would find Ward who is without much doubt the best fighter in boxing in crowding and getting work done on the inside. No way Bute wants that pressure.

 

Shellshocked Bute?

Probably still feather fisted Ward

 

Is Bute still trained by Freddie Roach? :huh

 

No. He trains with Howard Grant.

 

Jack, degale, abraham & maybe ward if he doesn't mind taking some shots.

 

George Groves once he knocks out Jack.
