    Bute may be the best SMW in the world at this time, thats up to debate, but after watching him a few times now, Im not convinced he would beat many of the SMWs of yesterday. I think Bute would lose to SMW versions of Eubank, Collins and Benn.

    So how do you think Bute would do in match ups against

    Eubank, Collins and Benn?

    I think Collins would have been too much for Bute, remember Collins was very tough and just kept coming forward

    Bute is not the best SMW in the world. With the supersix going on only an idiot would consider him #1.

    would think he loses to froch, ward, dirrell now

    as far as history he would easily lose to jones, benn and eubank. think he might be able to get by collins. but one shall never know

    I have noticed on here that Floyd , Bute and Wlad never lose in any fantasy match ups , so hey he hasnt fought a world champion or really decent opponent , but he knocks out Benn , Eubank and decisions Collins by getting hypnotised.

    Na not until he beats a Super 6 fighter, not counting Green, we'll know what he's really made of.

    He may not be the best but does deserve to be #1. Ratings should be based on results not hype or beliefs. The S6 gives a smoke screen, look at Ward he has one good win against an unwell double vision suffering Kessler, than thats it. Green who was KOd by a fighter in his 40s in his next fight and had lost to Miranda, Bika, beaten clearer by Bute and Calzaghe years previously and is next fighting Abraham who has had 2 very clear defeats recently and who isnt as good a SMW as Magee who Bute just beat. Bute has an overall better resume than Ward and has looked better against common opponents so should be rated above. Bute doesnt have as good a resume as Kessler but Kessler lost to Ward and Bute has a better resume than Ward.

    Im surprised so many feel Bute would possibly beat Collins at SMW especially with the pressure Collins could apply

    What like Abraham who was clearly beaten and who isnt a godd SMW at all and worse than Magee, or G Johnsons who is 6-6-0 as a SMW and his best win in the division is Green who you just mentioned. The S6 tag does fool some people

    Exactly, which completely defies your argument, what 'results' has Bute had to be considered the no 1 super middleweight?

    Bearing in mind Frochs last 5 fights

    To be the best and to have the best resume are 2 different things. Only an idiot could not understand that.

    That being said, I'm not sure he's the best. Fights have to prove it.

    Stylewise that's the best matchup for a guy like Bute though, if he doesn't have to chase anyone he can plant his feet and impose his power on a fighter. I think he could certainly beat Collins.
