    I can't think about Froch fighting anyone except Dirrell, after that fight I can think about his next one.

    Got lot of respect for Froch but i think Bute his a wrong match-up for him!

    a good southpaw with good movements can frustrate Froch all night long !

    Bute UD

    Froch deals well with southpaws. I think Froch takes this. Froch cannot be compared to Andrade as Froch has a higher ring IQ and a much wider variety of punches. Froch by points or KO.

    Bute by UD. I like Froch, but his come from behind last 14 seconds KO of Taylor has given some people the impression that he's an unstoppable beast. He's still a fairly crude boxer with a shoddy defense. I don't think he'd be able to pressure Bute as much as Andrade did, either.

    At the moment I still think anbody with superior technical boxing beats Froch! Just like Taylor did for the best part of 11 rounds. It's a good job he has heavy hands as his defensive is truley horrendous, he's just to easy to hit.

    Bute by accumulation. Froch is easier for Bute than Andrade, even if he's superior to Andrade. Froch's style is made for Bute, who would be able to box his game against the British fighter.

    Well lets face it, Froch´s style is pretty much made for every fighter out there. But he still wins against most!

    I think Froch is a much more intelligent fighter than most give him credit for. I think he cuts off the ring pretty well, makes the other fighter work yet he still seems to have a low workrate.

    Also Froch is an excellent finisher so if he gets his man he can normally take them out. I rate Taylor as a superior boxer to Bute also.

    Taylor? When has Bute beaten a fighter of Taylor's standing, remind me?

    You can't just say 'Other than Taylor'. That win is better than any of Bute's, and you can't just discount it to try and prove your point. It's there on his record. Deal with it. :smile

    Also, I would disagree with Bika & Andrade, while decent fighters, being better than Pascal, who's now proven himself a legitimate world champion.

    Start by explaining yours. I don't have much time this morning but Bute is faster and slicker. But the main reason I'm pretty sure Bute would win is that his biggest weakness is his inside game. Since Froch doesn't box inside...

    Actually, he was asking you to explain why you think Froch is an easier fight for Bute than Andrade.

    When you compare Froch's two best wins against Bute two best it just seems like Froch has more ballls and is prepared to take the tougher challenges.

    Froch has fought better fighters!
