REALLY!!! :yep Bute has NEVER fought ANY elite fighters in his entire career. Nor has he fought any top level contenders. His lack of experience will show badly in a fight against a tough tier-1 veteran like Johnson. His flaws are as exploitable as Pascal's. Perhaps even moreso. Johnson TKO Rd10 :yep
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzQH4j1gce0[/ame] 0:24-0:30 Here's the video where he talks in Romanian about Froch: "I assure you his time will come and I will close that big mouth of his once and for all." http://translate.google.com/transla...11.html&hl=en&langpair=auto|en&tbb=1&ie=UTF-8 Raw Translation from google.
How about Froch's liver and ribcage ? Can it absord Bute's punches ? And please SIMPLYTHEBEST and MrMagic you are the biggest Bute haters ever do us a favor and stay out of the threads concerning him
Butes a ****ing mystery really? he was pounded out by Andrade regardless of what officially took place in the 1st fight. He looks damn good vs less than elite comp, but really hasnt fought anyone on the level of a Froch...we know Froch and have seen him vs the very best and Im confident about Froch as every knows has proven he is the real deal. Bute is a question mark and tapping Mendys ass proves absolutely nothing. I would like to see Bute vs Hopkins or Kessler or Johnson or Cloud, Dirrell, no resaon why his next opponent after Mendy cant be one of these guys, until that happens he has nothing to validate his fans claim that he is the best. Bute please do something against a top elte opponent walk the damn walk already prove it.
I think Froch has the best resume at super middleweight right now and I even said that prior to Ward's last fight, because he managed to win most of his bigger fights.... BUT..... I will not let my judgment be clouded by the fact that he managed to pull off some great wins. A few things are still the same and won't be different in the future. Froch is probably the guy that does the most with what he has, compared to all the best talents in his division. - Great reach for his decent jab. - Awesome chin. - Very good stamina. - Strong will. Those are by far his greatest assets. On the other hand, he still has average speed, average movement on his feet with practically no head movement and an ordinary defense at best. His main victories come from the following : - Beats a very green Jean Pascal which was nearly knocked out by journeyman Omar Pittman, 11 months before. - Beats Jermain Taylor by a great come back knock out but nevertheless done after being evidently outboxed in easily 7 of the first 11 rounds by a career middleweight. - Beats Andre Dirrell but it was evident that he was outboxed for the majority of the 12 rounds. - Gets beaten by Kessler with vision problems, which elected to go to war instead of outboxing Froch, mainly because of those eye problems. - Beats Abraham. That's by far his best performance up to date, but Abraham had always been surfing on rep alone because he barely ever beat anyone of note, besides a clearly shot Jermain Taylor. The most important factor is not beating known fighters but rather the skills displayed. Abraham in his entire career never showed anything spectacular besides above average power at middleweight. A career decent middleweight in the skills department, is Froch's best win. - Beats Johnson in a very close fight, too close for the caliber. Johnson is a decent fighter but very overrated at the moment because he's in the Super 6. Johnson is far from being amongst the most talented at 168lbs. His will and chin have moved mountains for him in his career, not his skills... Looking at these past 6 fights, it's not impossible to think that Froch could be 2-4, instead of 5-1. I think Froch gets people's judgment clouded by his big mouth and tough guy bravado. He's not elite in the skills department, never was. I seriously think that Ward will outbox him and make him look the fighter that he truly is... It's not a blow at Froch because I repeat again, his record is presently the best at 168lbs. I just don't let that cloud my judgment of him as a boxer and the fact that I'm absolutely sure, Ward will show he has less skills, just like Dirrell did, just like Bute would and just like a healthy version of Kessler would also. I think Froch's great run will come to an end very soon... Again, no other fighter has accomplished so much with what they have, such as Froch has done up to now.
You know, when boxers step up, they sometimes succeed. you have to watch them fight to know if they have a chance to do it. Boxrecking is not everything.
One thing is for certain, if froch is being shown up by ward and being outclassed, froch will not lie down. He will put everything into it to make it a war. He'll take 3-4 shots to land 1. He go out fighting
The HEAT froch brings to a fight Bute will not be able to hold back for 12 rounds, froch was seriously mad about Bute and he will be to much for Bute.
