Prime Bika - No. He fought Bika after Calzaghe completely owned him. Andrade - No. Andrade KO'd him in their first fight. Mendy - No. Best win was a DQ1 against Bika no wins of significance after that. Brinkley - No. Had already lost 5 and KO'd twice. A shot to **** Robin Reid beat him and then Froch KO'd Reid impressively. Miranda - No. Pavlik and Abraham had already KO'd him and Ward/Abraham again had beaten him. Lost every time he marginally stepped up. Zuniga/Berrio/Joppy - Just no. Oh and Magee - Froch KO'd years ago. Bute top 5 legitimate wins: Joppy/Bika/AndradeII/Miranda/Magee Froch top 5 legitimate wins: Abraham/Pascal (who let's not forget dropped Hopkins twice - all these people wanking over Hopkins now tend to forget this)/Taylor/Johnson/Dirrell Other victories whilst at British level - Reid/Magee. Bute is good but has fought noone (yet) as good as anyone in Froch's top 5. :bart
Oh and Bute has been brutally KO'd at home by someone no better than a contender! Froch lost a close decision with interrupted preparation, away from home against a top tier SMW
First Bute beat Bika more esaley then Calzaghe and if we follow your logic if a fighter already lost it's not a good win ? so AA , Taylor and Jonhson are not significant win. At least try to keep the standart for both if you wabt to prove a point
Lost or Win Froch always have a reason for it , broken rib , perfored eardrume , ear infection , interupted preparation and you buy all of this. But when Bute say he ad a food poisoning and that he had a bad reaction to the medication so he has a low red cell count for the Andrade fight it is bull**** ? Bute beat the count and won the fight get over it. Again keep your standart for both fighters , thanks!
Kessler tops that. He had fights against Michael Corleone and Dean Martin!! He even fought a guy named "Rocky" Balboa check it out yourselves
-Bika gave hell to Ward -Bute was ill and still dominated Andrade in the 1st fight, KO'ed him in the 2nd which nobody had ever come close to -Mendy and Brinkley were mandatories, and mandatories are usually **** when there's a high profile tourney on the go for the top 6ish in the division -Ward had to wrestle Miranda all night, Bute put him down in 3 -Berrio smashed Mack and Stieglitz one after the other to get the IBF belt Bute took from him -Zuniga gave hell to Cloud recently (a LHW titleholder!!!!) ...so go being selective somewhere else. Not gonna work here.
Calzaghe never owned Bika. That is the beginning of your post and that indicates the level of your knowledge.
Bute is single I believe......but he'll want no part of her after Ward places her nose on the side of her face. I rather see Ward step up against semireitred Ann Wolf soas Bute can have the beautiful Laila rather than a twisted beaten frankenstiened laila that Ward would leave behind in the ring.
Good point. Bika, although not Aclass by any stretch did have the Welshman on the retreat for a great portion of the fight, and when Bute thoroughly dominated him, he was a much improved fighter IMO, more filled out, stronger, and more hungry. Nobody could beat the slapster, especially in his own backyard.
Well, that means Pavlik is a Hopkins leftover then, right? He's worth nothing anymore. How do you feel when poeple say that about your favorite boxer?
