    In reply to a few of the above-

    1) Froch fans have no hate for Bute. Just because we think Froch would win easily doesn't mean we hate Bute,or anyone else for that matter.

    2) Yes, I'm a Froch fan, and yes, I'm English. However, that rather pleasing combination(how fortunate I am huh?) doesn't automatically mean that Froch wouldn't win!!

    3) Yes, Bute has faced better opponents to date, but again that doesn't automatically mean a Bute win.

    Froch isn't a brilliant boxer, he isn't the best at winning rounds. He can be deadly though as someone mentioned earlier. I'd hope Bute would be too smart to walk right into one of Froch's "journeyman killer" uppercuts.

    :good ...only thing I disagree with is that Froch COULD POSSIBLY win EASILY against Bute...I think that is most unrealistic...and I don't suppose the vast majority of Froch fans would tie that statement to their man's mast...

    :good Bute is a percentage fighter...he DOES NOT take unnecessary risks...also he is an intelligent fighter...why indeed would he play right into Froch's hands?

    The Berrio fight will tell a lot about Froch's chances against Bute, though...we'll wait and see.

    I guess so. I just think people are overestimating his natural abilities. He reminds me of a poor man's Jermain Taylor, not that that's a bad thing. With more expereince, he could surpass Taylor, who has regressed anyway. I expect him to beat Berrio, but I feel like he might have trouble against a pressure fighter who's a physical specimen. I have no idea if that's what Froch is, since I haven't seen him other than youtube clips, but watching this fight didn't make me believe (or at least want to believe) that Bute is the next big thing, especially if he has to move up to LHW in the next year or two (he LOOKS like he'll have to, but who knows).

    Isnt Froch scheduled to take on Adamu in a rematch,or did I get something wrong?

    "Forch is in a different class by a mile.Froch by stoppage within three rounds"

    Well,I have no clue who would be the victor in a bout between Bute and Froch,but I would like to point out that Froch had a death and life struggle with a medicore African called Adamu who had lost a one-sided fight to Vitaly Tsypko just two weeks before Froch took on that unknown African.
    "Forch is in a different class by a mile"??????

    Bute has been running on his natural talents so far. It's been enough against Bika and will be enough against Berrio Inkin and Froch. But it won't be enough against Andrade and Mundine, and certainly not against Calzaghe and Kessler, unless he improves. So what's the problem? He will improve...he's only had 20 professional fights and has much to learn. But he had been getting better from fight to fight, and has matched and surpassed better and better fighters. I don't see why that has to stop. Larouche will make sure he's ready for whoever he has to step into the ring with. Bute isn't stupid and can fight a gameplan. He won't take unnecessary risks even against specimens, so he has a good chance. From there, it's "Good luck to him!";)

    Does anyone agree that Froch should fight Inkin before thinking about Bute?

    Brian Magee was almost level on the cards with Froch when he got stopped...bad signs for Carl. He needs Berrio if he ever wants to win a title.

    If Froch is the man his fans want him to be he should go for Inkin and stop calling Calzaghe et al. If he beats Inkin, the world will pay attention...Just like they will pay attention to Bute if he beats Berrio and decides to go for an unbeaten Inkin, a Froch that had beaten Inkin, or if he cannot get those two: Beyer/Braehmer (a lesser challenge) or maybe even Andrade/Lacy, before Mundine

    By the way...I think both Froch and Inkin would gain more in the medium and long term if they fought each other and lost, then if they kept dodging each other, looking for morale boosting wins against journeymen...do you agree?:think
