Top three are Ward, AA and Bute. All tied for #1 as far as I am concerned. There is no way to rank them above each other.
Luckily we'll get to see at least some of the logjam sort itself out - and with the way it's looking, Bute will be there for the winner. Got to love when the fights that need to happen actually happen. :!::happy
hes a top SMW - accept it and give props. do u really think ward or dirrel could have stopped abdrade like that....
If you guys just concentrate on pure skills...then you should easily recognize that the top 4 guys are Ward, Dirrell, Bute & Kessler. Now once again I repeat..skillwise !! The rest are not on par although they each possess their own particular qualities that will always make them threats.
Really....... His stamina versus pressure fighters maybe, but his chin has nothing to do with anything up to this point...
El guapo is an ass clown if he thinks that Andrade isn't a tough opponent and doesn't want to acknowledge the amazing feat of Bute. Pretty sad!!
Yeah Andrade destroyed Stieglitz (current WBO champ), outclassed Tsypko and KO'd Yusaf Mack, a legitimate top 10 at LHW. If SMW wasn't the best (hottest) division in boxing right now, Andrade could have been a world champ. He a good fighter. Props to Bute.
Bute is the best 168lb fighter in the world and by far!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ward would never be able to land his head on him!!!!!!!!!!! Bute would knock Ward out, but Ward will now allow him to fight in the tournament.
Id say Bute is #2 after Ward. I think he can outbox Abraham. The top SM are Ward Bute Abraham Dirrell Kessler
