If Bute was an american fighter would he be more respected & an even bigger star?

    In America, Bute would have absolutely no fan following at all.

    Bute's obviously doing something right cause other than Mayweather and Pac he's the most discussed boxer out there. Bute haters can talk all they want but the fact is he's without a doubt the biggest draw between welterweight and heavyweight.

    The average American "fan" has absolutely no idea of the nationality of any fighter they see. (unless HBO / Showtime tells them)

    If Bute fought Ward tomorrow, they'd think both men were Americans anyway.

    Is Bute comperable to Cotto? Or Juanma? Don't think he would be as big as Tito
