    Totally a mismatch IMO ! :D ....... i don't see how a slowly guy like Froch could beat a fast , skilful, slick , smart and powerful fighter like Bute.:think

    Froch probably will be embarressed by Bute's boxing abilities and try to brawl but he will get countered with powerful body shots By Bute and floored:yep

    That is simply an inaccurate statement. 5 minutes before getting into the ring with Sonny Liston, Ali was already the best (meaning by that he had all needed boxing skills to crush any other fighter in the HW division). After winning the fight, those skills had not improved by a great leap, they were just proven against the (ex-)champion and Ali gained the official recognition of his boxing skills top ranking associated with the belt.
    In a discussion on a forum about skills, there is no officiality: we do not constitute an universally recognized boxing board but just a bunch of individuals expressing their (subjective) views about some fighters' boxing skills. It is perfectly legitimate to argue about a fighter being a better boxer than the still official #1, as long as they did not fought in the ring. Of course, the case cannot be sustained seriously if the considered fighter accumulated several losses, has been repeatedly exposed by other fighters or has faced only very low rated opponents. Bute has no losses as a pro, has not been in real difficulty in the ring (except the well-known final round of Bute-Andrade I) and he has faced several SMW top 10 fighters (though arguably not the other current top 3 of the division). One still can argue about his skills being potentially enough for granting him victories against all other SMW top fighters (-> thus calling him "the best") as long as one agrees this is just a "working hypothesis", not an officially recognizable status.

    No, he didn't. But were Bute to win succesively say two fights with Froch and Ward, his official status should change to "recognized best SMW". That wouldn't mean his boxing skills tremendously improved over night, it would mean just they were actually proven, and in that case even now (24.III.2012, before fights occurrence) the ones who are already considering him the best should be arguably right.
    As far as I am concerned, I don't have a definite opinion on who's really the current best SMW fighter but I can understand the point of those who pick Ward or Bute for this spot.

    Froch "skills" are his genetic big boones and long arms - his strong skeleton

    Techical skills of Froch was obvious against Ward - Froch can only chasing flies in front of Bute .
