Nice KO win for Bute, but he would still lose against Ward, Froch, B-Hops & Kessler

    Nice KO win, great power, decent technique. Typical Bute performance in many ways.

    Even still, I just don't see him on the same level as those other guys, and I maintain he would be defeated by those 4 should he ever step up and face a real challenge.

    Pavlik even will have a slim chance against him, but Pavlik is damaged goods. Dirrell might have a shot against him, too.

    But Ward, Hopkins, Froch, and Kessler - I honestly don't believe Bute can beat those guys.

    Bute is a good fighter, but he needs to step up the competition.

    reserving judgement until i see him fight some deccent competition. KOing a guy bika did in 1 is hardly a statement in the smw division

    I thuroughly agree.

    Bute is decent enough to wipe the canvas clean with these type of C-level guys, but should he step up against A-level opposition, it'll look remarkably different, better believe that.

    I still can't believe they wanted to charge $60 for this garbage.

    Bute beat Bika when BUTE was still a PROSPECT..... Long story short, Bute beats all 4...

    Stops 2 of them (Kessler and Froch)

    I'd give him a good chance against any of those. Hope he fights one soon.

    I'm not sure which claim I find more ridiculous.

    The one where you state Bute would beat all 4, or the one where you claim he could stop Froch and Kessler!
    :lol:

    I actually think Bute-Ward would be a better fight now than I thought it would.

    I would probably still pick Ward to win, but I could see Bute winning now. I didn't feel that way before.

    Ward yes. Hopkins yes. Kessler maybe.

    Froch no.

    He would not stop Froch or Kessler.

    He'd beat Froch and maybe beat Kessler, but they would not be knockouts.

    i strongly believe Bute has AT LEAST 40% chance of beating either of these names
