I have noticed that this guy fights fighters with similar names to good fighters... He fought Jean Pascal Service (Froch fought the real Jean Pascal), and he also fought James Obode Toney (not the steroid cheating good fighter). Who is he gonna fight next? Andre Sword? Cassius Day?:rofl Who does this guy think he is fooling? He is also about to fight a pensioner who is coming off a loss to Iron Chinned Warrior Carl Froch. He also fough Froch's leftovers in Brian Magee...atsch Johnson will be Bute's best win, but is not even in Froch's top 5 wins...:roflatsch And some people take this guy serious? As long as this guy is getting full gates fighting nobodies in his back-yard and making good money, he will continue to do it... it's that simple.:good
What are you complaining about? Bute knocked out Johnson in one round, then also stopped Jean Pascal in one, knocked out Lewis in 3, stopped Johnson again in 2, followed by a stunning 8th-round stoppage of James Toney. Carl Froch's resume doesn't even come close to that.
Simply coincidental. Prime Bika, AndradeX2,Mendy, Magee, Brinkley, semiprime Miranda, prime Berrio, semi prime Joppy, and prime Zuniga are ALL quality if not high Bclass, low Aclass wins. And brutally KOing a 50+ fight veteran in his 8th fight that Kessler fought just 18 mos prior in his 30th fight was the fight that sold me on Bute. Yeah, he's got a few liabilities, but let's face it.....he offered BIG$$$$$ to get Pavlik, HUGE $$$$$$ to get Kessler, and is licking his chops to get the s6 winner 3-6 mos after the career halting tournament is over. And let's face it.....that tournament halted more than 1 career.:deal
1. Abraham - never defeated anyone at SMW 2. Pascal - green at the time + no top 10 win at SMW, Froch's backyard 3. Dirrell - actually outboxed Froch and made him look slow 4. Taylor - dropped him early, outboxed him and gassed 5. Magee - who won 3 to 5 rounds in the fight depending on how you scored it S6 semi-finalist Johnson has got to come 6th.
-Pascal was weight drained it was his last fight at SMW -Magee was close on card and Bute beet him more badly -a lot of people say Direll got robbed and i can't argue and his biggest win was agains't AA by DQ :rofl
These are crocus best wins: 1. Abraham. Mostly because the way he did it on neutral territory too. He beat AA better than Ward or anyone else. Sure, AA didn't have a long SMS resume but Trinidad also had no Ms resume and some people still consider him a good win for Hopkins. 2. Pascal. This win looked really good before Pascal's last fight. it is still a top win. 3. Taylor. A tough fight where Froch fought overseas and experienced plenty of adversity. He overcame it all and defeated the hometown favorite. 4. Andre Dirrell. One of the original S6 combatants. So far he has not lived up to his potential, but he is dangerous to everyone! Carl won in a messy rubbish fight. 5. Johnson. Carl beat the old workhorse in a lackluster performance by both men. Johnson did what he could but even a uninspired Froch calmly cruised away from johnson. Several other fights are arguably as good or better, but I've put the old man at no 5 mostly on name recognition.
