    Bute needs to take care of Andrade and prove in a convincing manner that he is a top dawg fighter....at the moment i don`t rate him very highly.

    Well even if he beats Andrade again, and looks good, he's still going to be on the 'outside looking in' for a good couple of years at least, whilst the spotlight is on the Super Six

    That's assuming he hasn't lost his title by then. He's already lost a heap of cash

    Yeah I posted too fast there...I actually think Andrade might cause an upset "again" in the rematch.

    You're right on the facts, not on their meaning. Showtime didn't realize Bute was scared or anything, they realized he was going to fight on HBO. All that thing is business. only Froch's fans on ESB think it's upon merit. Dirrel is not the sith best fighter in the world.

    Bute just has to win against any of the 2 or 3 best fighters of the tournament to gains instant recognition. Sorry again, your hate blinds your mind.

    Doubt it. Andrade's shite, and despite being a bottler, Bute has good skills. Good enough to deal with the likes of Andrade

    2 years at most. So what? History doesn't bother about two years.

    I agree that bute has good boxing skills, but I think he lacks toughness. I don“t think Andrade is that bad, he is just a level under the best. He keeps coming forward and puts on a high pressure, apparantly enough to get bute in trouble in the first fight, and it might happen again coz Andrade wont allow Bute any breaks.

    Yeah, twice in his career Joe Calzaghe went three years between legitimate opponents. And there's a fair amount of good opposition not in the Super Six as well.

    andrade had bute doing the drunkman dance . he deserved to win that fight but was robbed due to the refs failure to officiate correctly. i dont think bute is garbage but im not sure he is in the league of teh super six.
