    It's hard for any fighter to return strong after a devastating knockout.

    Sounds like Joe trying to discredit Froch's win. Bute was undefeated to being shot? I guess Froch turned bute to a shot fighter.

    Bute isn't shot in the physical sense but he isn't mentally right for the Froch rematch imo.

    He doesn't need the Froch rematch right now, if he does and gets his arse kicked again I think it could be the end of his career.

    Shot? Shot from what? He has just actually had to face the level of competition of the Super Six.

    This dude was an alleged world beater while all of the other fighters were tied up in that tournament. Now he is shot after one showing? Hell no. He is just attempting to cash that check the press and his promoters wrote and finding his chin has insufficient funds.

    Anyone who follows Canadian Boxing saw this coming a mile away!

    Gamblers, the Ring, to name some. Ward didn't want to fight him, Pavlik didn't want to (he now wants Ward), Kessler refused. What happened in Nottingham made trolls and haters look like genius. But they are still haters.

    Bute beated Bika better than Ward which was his toughest S6 fight. He also beat Johson better then Froch.

    Ward didn't have to fight him he had already ran through he gauntlet that included the guy who wiped him out and Kessler !


    Haters no its reality he milked the belt since 07 being fed stiff after stiff with a few names ! Bute beat Johnson after everyone and their mother fought him . And Bute beat Bika better than Ward well what happened when he fought Froch ? Bika is and never was a world beater .

    The man was just mismanged and when it came time to step up he couldn't deliver .. Ward has proven he could ! Fact !

    Bute needs a tune up or two before getting back in with Froch

    Is that serious? Froch was in cruise control v Johnson he barely got out of first gear.
    He almost lost the first fight with Andrade did well to win the rematch
    and then fought the likes of Brinkly and Macgee and Bika who are b+ plus fighters.
    Hes a decent fighter world class but against Froch hes fighting the elite of the division and he will get tuned up again.
    Gratchev was a poor mans froch and even he had Bute hanging on and gave him a real beating from around rounds 7-9.........

    Bute might grab another belt but he wont be rememberd. Hes another Canadian hype job
