poor post actually. I will not rate Brinkley at all. Bika, Andrade, Magee/Berrio, Zunniga/Miranda this is my order.
Ward couldn't be anymore boring that what he is. I gotta take a NoDOZE when I watch him fight. Utterly uninteresting fighter to watch.
Didn't Mendy get his lights put out by Sakio Bika. Yeah, it was an illegal shot, but he still got knocked the **** out. Why don't we start this **** up after Bute fights someone who has a pulse?
Ever notice how many of the posters who hate the Klitschko's also hate Bute? They flock to Andre SOB Ward as their anti-Bute security blanket, reveling in his boring, down right dirty boxing style. While they claim the Klitschko's are boring and fight dirty. Agendas are so transparent!
Froch with ease as he has shown no power vs skilled boxers or the ability to outclass them. he can beat guys like AA or Taylor but no a slick southpaw. Ward is highly highly skilled. that is the best fight in Boxing IMO Ward vs Bute and it is hard to pick a winner
I think you ignored the fact that I said "all things considered." Brinkley had just come off an upset win. He was supposed to get destroyed in that fight with Stevens, but he showed everyone there was more to him than we thought. I was a pretty big Zuniga fan. I thought, and still think, he was ridiculously under rated at 160. The two wars with Zertuche, and the fight with Pavlik, took a lot out of him. He never had much to offer at 168. Pavlik changed the course of Miranda's career. Even BHop was ready to proclaim him the next great middleweight champ. All that changed after he fought KP. There wasn't much left of him by the time he fought Bute. Bika is all head, elbows, low blows, and various other dirty tactics. Mendy was not the first fighter he hit while down. The man has a screw lose, and should be banned from boxing. I already posted that the Berrio fight slipped my mind. I am a Bute fan, and I think you know that. However, he does not have much of a resume'. There is nothing on record to support the idea that he would "destroy" anybody in the current top 5 at 168. Head to head he matches up very well with the other top guys, but I always give more weight to actual accomplishments than to speculation.
Oh goodie. We've gone from this being a post-fight overreaction thread to a cry baby racism thread. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Call me when Bute actually steps up in competition so that we can gauge how good he really is. Bute's gotten about all the praise that he should for being a bonafide can crusher. That doesn't always translate to success on the elite level. Trash Ward's style all that you want. At least he's fighting the best.
