    I think this would be an awesome fight with Bute either taking it by UD or Froch winning by late TKO. I do think there's a chance Bute can exploit Froch's lack of defense and knock him out with one of those beautiful uppercuts, but Froch is pretty durable.

    Who wants to see it and who you got?

    Bute all day long. Froch's got a great cheen but better than Andrade's? And his body is a little bit suspect (we saw it against Kessler).

    I like both, though.

    Lucian Bute's talent in undeniable, but I don't know if its a reflection of the opponents he's been facing or is he really that good. Whenever a fighter has a string of impressive victories over B-Side competition I'm always a tad bit skeptical.

    Carl Froch might not be the undefeated mega attraction that is Lucian Bute but he only has one loss against much tougher competition, not to mention Bute's next fight is against Brain Magee a fighter Carl Froch knocked out three years ago.

    If Libarado Andrade manged to crack though Bute's will I'm sure Carl Froch can do the same with his heavy hands, great conditioning, and consistent pressure. If I had to pick between the two I'd take Froch by decision or late stoppage.

    my only concern with bute is he tends to tire down the stretch. he's going to have to conserve his energy for this one.

    froch's clearly a better fighter than andrade. froch has a terrific chin too and chances are pretty good bute will be put under the hammer.

    the big question is, was the end of the bute - andrade fight a flash in the pan or a spoiler for what's to come for bute?

    First, resume's do not fight. Fighters do. The history of boxing is littered with contenders who beat 7 shades of **** out of solid champions who had great resume's. Forget about Froch's superior opposition. It doesn't mean all that much.

    Bute has faster hands, faster feet, better all around footwork, he has better defense, and he hits harder with his left. Not with his right. Bute is a bit of a one-handed fighter.

    Froch has better stamina, his jab is finally improving, he can't even spell quit, he's more durable, his tenacity is unreal, unlike Bute he fights with two hands, and his confidence is out of this world.

    Right now this is not only one of the best fights at 168, it's one of the best fights in all of boxing.

    I would love to see Bute fight any top name. I enjoy his style very much and want to see what he can do against a real top guy.

    Ok, you can believe wht you want, it's alright for me, but Bute doesn't lack of stamina. He was sick prior the first Andrade fight and should have cancelled the fight. I know people take that for an excuse bu in his 4 other 12 rounds fights, he was the stronger guy, and by far, at the end of the fight. Don't count on stamina issues for Froch to win te fight. That won't happen.
