    A good win for Bute a focused performance, he couldn't really have done much better.

    Calzaghe, worst performance in years, crying before the fight, clowned around, won very comfortably.


    One thing Bute showed against Bika is that he is not good enough to win a shut-out points victory against fighters like Bika, he loses rounds to these fighters, even at his best.

    Calzaghe, as soon as he stopped 'show-boating' and boxing unintelligently showed he could shut-out Bika, using the jab 10/10 times.

    Bute is nowhere near the level of Calzaghe. Calzaghe is capable of shuting-out the Bika's of this world with relative ease, Bute cannot (he has to settle for comfortable points decisons at his best).

    It should also be noted at no point did it look like Bika could beat Calzaghe but against Bute for a brief period, it looked like he had a chance to some fans.


    It is a testament to Joe that even in a unfocused and unmotivated state, he is leagues ahead of exciting fighters like Bute.

    you guys went to the other place?:scaredas:

    "Bute is not ready for Calzaghe and Kessler. He needs more time to improve his defence and become less hesitant. I guess that can be summed up by saying he needs more experience. So which three fights would you plan for Bute if you were his manager, assuming that he would beat Berrio?":

    Calzaghe has been ducking Bute for ages. Bute KO before the 1st bell stops ringing. Bute is the second coming of Ali (in the 168lb division). He is faster than Calzaghe (mentally, footwork & handspeed), is younger and hungrier, hits harder and Bika said he's the same level as him now. So by the time they fight, Calzaghe will have slipped and Bute will have improved.

    Can we agree Bute is world class, but Calzaghe is leagues better?

    100% WRONG POST !!!!!

    Bute admit he was totally NOT there for the first 3 rounds !
    Bute could have KNOCK Bika out, Calzague never hurt Bika !

    Trust me, Bute will be much better vs Berrio..., and than will ave huge confident and defeat Calzague !

    So what are you saying?

    • Bute could have knocked Bika out but chose not to?
    • Bute lacks focus early in fights?
    • Bika says Bute and Calzaghe are at the same level but Bute hurt him, Calzaghe never - does this imply that Bute is like Calzaghe except with more power?

    I would say Bute is pretty much definitely world class. I would also say Calzaghe is better. I don't know how much exactly...In any case, about this, Bute would agree with me - he knows his place in the top three/four at SMW better than I ever could!;)
