    in that he is being paid handsomely by a cable network while not fighting the best quality opposition?

    is Bute going to struggle the moment he ups the ante? What do the Bute stains think?

    We'll find out in the future once he fights someone from the super six. Originals super six that is not the substitute.

    I don't think so, but I don't believe it's out of the question. However, I think Bute will rise to the occasion. I suspect that he beats Kessler, and I consider him a very live dog against Ward.

    He's the Canadian Kelly Pavlik according to Hopkins.

    I dont think so

    Bute is winning easily minus gassing after winning 11 rounds vs Andrade

    Berto had trouble with Collazo and Quintana and Urango

    Bute is quick hard hitting and has a dangerous left to the body

    I expect Bute to be able to beat and or compete with Ward and Froch

    "is Lucian Bute another Berto?"

    If you mean "a very good fighter who can be beat on any giving night because it's boxing", then yes, he is another Berto.

    That is the right answer. Thank you. If Ward beats Bute, that would not mean that Bute is crap. Ward won against Kessler and he's a good fighter.

    Lucian Bute has talent but he ducked out of the Super 6 and has been featsing on easy contenders. The trouble he had with Andrade is probably the reason why.

    I don't think so. Berto skill are limited. His power is what made him successful. He's more like Jeff Lacy. But Bute is different. Bute has skills to go along with power. Bute vs top 168 pounders are all 50-50 fights. Can't say the same for Berto.
