    Didn't I always maintain Calzaghe was the greatest SMW of all-time, which he went on to prove, much to your disapointment old man :yep

    Plus Kessler was better than you ever thought, again this was not a surprise to me. :oops:

    I'm a damn expert on this division. Bute would beat Kessler as well.

    Which is exactly the point i made. He's very talented but he's been kept in witness protection for far too long.

    I'm beginning to wonder whether you're deliberately misreading my posts...;)

    Kessler could fight Bute but he wants the easy Option and will avoid him,thats not Butes fault.
    Hes gone to Showtime to fight the best guys and after Mendy he will have to step up against someone(I can see him facing Glen Johnson)

    :nono I'm not having that....Calzaghe may well have been the greatest SMW in history, but he certainly didn't prove it in the ring.

    Not at all. I respect your opinions

    I'm questioning how Bute will react when he's tired and hurt against a top fighter. Perhaps he'll be good enough to avoid that.

    Andrade is(was?) more relentless than anybody else in the divison. By far. Andrade was a rare breed of fighter that actually could walk through punches. People talk about walking through punches as if it happens regularly, when it really doesn't. But Andrade actually did that. He wasn't talented at all but had inhumane ability to soak up punches and pour on sloppy pressure. I don't think Bute will ever face that again, and if he does he'll surely be better prepared and will have learnt something about pacing himself.

    Ward, Froch, Kessler and Dirrell all beat him handily. How he is rated so highly is beyond me.

    Relentless but of mediocre skill. Froch walked through some of Glen Johnsons punches, which I saw as far harder than Andrades, and returned with interest. Froch would/will soak up what Andrade and Bute have to offer.... and destroy them.
