    After Dirrell's oscar winning performance in detroit, he has now retired from boxing and got a job as an actor

    Would you not say by definition he has to have fought at least one out of Kessler/Froch/ward/dirrell/Abraham to back that claim up. Not saying he isn't capable, bit how the hell do we know until that happens? IMO right now it's ward/froch/Kessler/bute/dirrell.

    I could honestly see Bute beating Ward... Maybe Abraham. I think Dirrell outspeeds him and beats him UD, Froch beats him with pressure and possibly stops him. But surprisingly i think this is an easy figth for Kessler i think he will run thru Bute if he applies pressure

    I think all the names you have mentioned expose Bute but i think Ward is probably the best in the division and would give Bute a right hiding..
    I think Bute is a good boxer but is overated compared to the other fighters in the division.

    You are entitled to your opinion on that but can you honestly rank him in the top 3 of the back of the fights he has had?

    Bute does not have the mentality of a fighter imo. If, or when Bute gets in there with someone who has the skills to compete, and is consistently asking questions of him, I reckon he will lose.

    This looks to you as a bad mentality?

    I was worried that was going to be the fight preview we got in the UK which was about 10 minutes of Bute sitting around in speedos. :lol:
