The whole world saw it, Bute is the new Sven Ottke who comes with his own personal ref now hes a total joke that no one with half a brain respects who will continue fighting in Canada against mediocre opposition with the referee paid off.
Yeah yeah yeah right . . . according to a respected authority like you . . . who thinks that a guy who has only one fight in the heavy weight division is the number heavy weight fighter in the world at present. Earn some credibility kid. :deal :hi:
Bute is still the champ. If the ref helped him, that has nothing to do with Bute. Even though he was out, the ref gave him the fight. As to calling him a paper champ, he did not ask the ref to count to 100. A rematch should be ordered and that is it. The next time around, Bute won't get careless and win by UD or he might have nightmares of what took place and could get caught much faster.
Is this the guy who beat the guy who was Kessler's greatest ever win. Kessler who was ATG Joe Calzaghes greatest ever win.
Hence "paper champion" he is the champion on official papers, but what everybody saw, was him getting knocked out.
This coming from a guy who says the Klitschkos are shitty fighters, eh? :roll: We'll have to see the rematch to determine who the real champion is.
Troll-like threads such as this remind me of the immortal words of George Carlin: "Think of how dumb the average person is, and then realize that half of people out there are dumber than that." And I think many of them are responsible for keeping the Bute/Andrade nonsense alive.
I'll agree with that. And until unification fights occur/The top two super middleweights square off to fulfill RING criteria for the championship, there probably won't be one, either. Bute UD12 Andrade, U83...but the result wouldn't have made either of them any more than a titlist.
Did Kessler ever sent anyone to the hospital? Let's say Edwin Murillo, his 8th opponent. The guy was 22-21-6. Did he die? Stop abusing of words like that. Kessler won't be dangerous for Bute's health. He may be a better boxer, maybe not, may win or not, but he won't be dangerous for his health. That kind of sentence is childish.
people will forget about it...Bute got the "W" much like Chavez did against Meldrick Taylor I its over.... MOVE ON
With alphabet organizations handing out titles like candies on Halloween there are tons of paper champs out there. Fact is if you're not universally recognized as the #1 champ in your division then unfortunately you qualify as a paper champ.
