    First, I don't consider you a hater at all. You talk about boxing. A hater can't.
    Sorry if my post was mixing you with the others.

    I agree with pretty much all you wrote in your post. I wouldn't be my house on Bute against Froch. I would be confident though that he would win. And I think he has a stylistical advantage on Froch, because of his combination of movement, timing and power. I feel Bute would struggle more against Dirrell and Ward. I could be wrong and the exact opposite could happen.

    P.S. I didn't post a picture of Bute. ;)

    It's like the fiftheenth thread about who's numero uno at SMW. Can we wait for a couple of months before doing it again? Cuz each time, it's the same story.

    There's no definite no.1 at 168, for now.

    I see something like this too. Froch already seem to fade a little bit lately, he seem very very slow and clumsy vs a far from prime Kessler. Carl has now lost his undeafeted aura and mentally he may not be the same in the future, time will tell.

    Make no mistake the bodypunching Kessler did early in that fight is what slowed Froch down. He mentioned this between one of the mid rounds. He said something like: "that right to the body is a ****". Can't remember his exact words though.

    I remember something like this too ''the right to the body is killing me'' but Bute is a great body puncher, this could be a big problem for Froch, maybe its Froch weak spot.

    I don't think anyone like to take punches to the body. I sure as **** don't :D

    Froch has ridiculous stamina and he brings the heat right until the final bell. That's a good reason to try and knock the wind out of him. I think the problem for Bute would be closing the distance on Froch without taking too many punches. Froch may look like ****, but he judges distance fairly well, has decent power and a good jab.

    That body punch is a amazing punch , perfectly aimed 1 cm higher and he will be blocked 1 cm down and would've been fault. Don't blame me because you don't know to appreciate a beautiful punch .
    What's wrong with me posting pics that shows 1 guys forte and the other guys weakness. Your not a hater yet but you sure don't like Bute.

    Who said that ???!!?!? huh ??
    :lol: That's your own conclusion you think you can read minds or something?

    In that picture i showed what Bute does best and what Froch complained about in after the Kessler fight ...those where my arguments ... not a cool pic from what you understand that Bute is cool and that's why he'll win.

    Miranda's Reach 77½″ / 197cm didn't seemed like he had the reach advantage against Bute. He barely gazed him before the KO. Froch's Reach 74½″ / 189cm i think he'll find a way to get past that. Yeah i know Froch has a good jab but it won't hold back Bute if it couldn't hold back Kessler. Bute is more sharp than Kessler and moves his upper body and head better he can get past that jab.

    Wouldn't you say Miranda is at least levels under Froch technically?!

    Yep but don't think Bute will lose just because Froch has a good reach :patsch

    Obviously not, if that was the fact he would've beaten Kessler.

    Froch is however, levels greater at utilizing his reach, than a C-level fighter like Edison, who couldn't use his reach for the life of him against Arthur Abraham.
