    Darnell Boone dropped and hurt Ward badly in their fight :think

    there is no fighter who has never been hurt or staggered in their career

    More wishful thinking. The same Bute who melted down in grand fashion against Froch.:rofl The same Bute who went life and death with Andrade and had to be saved by a hometown ref in the first fight.:lol: This is just wishful thinking and if that fight would have happened back then you wouldn't have put a dime on Bute against Ward. The same Ward who ran through the Super 6 like a knife through hot butter while Bute was sitting on the sidelines he would have beaten the **** outta Bute it would have been his easiest fight out of all the elite 168 pound fighters.

    Boone also dropped Kovalev. The man can punch.

    Boone won that fight on scorecards too, it was an absolut shame how the judges gave their olympic gold medalist the win

    Ward would stay away from Bute now too, he's afraid even of an old, faded Bute and he'd rather fight smiths. that answer that question. Ward waited for Bute to get old and beaten but even now he's afraid of him

    as I said, every fighter gets tagged, hurt or dropped in their career, it's inevitable

    That's why he moved up to 175 and will face Kovalev later this year. Like I've always said Ward beats Bute worse than PBF beat Gatti. You can't draw up a scenario for a mentally weak guy like Bute to beat a mentally tough guy like Ward.

    But Ward has no power so you cant envision the same type of fight.

    sure you can. Ward thought about it, realise he'll loose and ducked the fight. are you telling me you know better than Ward who he can or cannot beat?

    Ward would have thoroughly outclassed any version of Bute, IMHO.

    Bute was one of the most grossly overrated fighters in the history of these forums.

    Don't worry Ward has plenty of power to stop the mentally weak Bute in his tracks. The way that guy froze up against Froch was one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen in the ring.:lol::rofl

    The fight would not play out the same. Clearly Ward wasn't so confident in facing Bute pre Froch.

    Ward didn't duck Bute he told Bute beat someone of note then we can talk. Bute fought Froch and failed miserably to prove he was worthy, the rest is history.:yep BTW I picked Froch to beat Bute which was not the popular pick back then.:deal
