I can see what Froch is saying , Bute is a really really good fighter but right now he has the luxury of beating up on super tough but ultimatley **** fighters, making himself look incredible while everyone else in the super six has nothing but tough match ups.
Sadly the damn tournament leave Bute with no real threats or fights. Easy for Froch to talk out of his ass. Bute has a better record than several of the guys in the tournament.
He has more title fight victories at the weight class than Ward Dirrel and Abraham. He is better than Taylor and his replacement. Hell I'd even say his resume is better than Froch.
Hmm Ward and Direll maybe but thats just down to age , if they go on the way they are they'll surpass him ,soon . and Froch are you kidding ? I'll admit Froch is an overachiever but hes beaten some good names , Bute I would class as an underachiever , obviusly talented but yet to beat a truly big name.
That's true. Is it me or is Froch becoming as annoying as Mayweather? This clown thinks that he's #1 p4p!
Funny thing that no one mentions Kessler. He might have lost to Calzaghe and Ward, but he has had a fair amount of title fights and have a resume that, in my book, is better than Bute´s. Ah well... When your 0 goes then you´re **** right?
These fighters are only being talked about being better than Bute is cause they are in a tournament that hogs all the names and ruins the rest of the division and puts it on freeze. Bute has to get Stieglitz in the ring but hes going the obscure German title route. Bute can beat any of the guys in that tournament sadly he was not invited he would have made things more interesting than Taylor and Green
The "clown" knows exactly how to play the media for attention. Just look at all the threads popping up everytime he makes an outrageous comment. Personally I think he is having a laugh with all these outrageous statements.
Kessler has his share of big wins and I dont rule out his chances to win. Hes done a lot more at the weight than all of the other tournament members.
When it comes to Froch vs Bute, I'm almost 100% sure Bute would win convincingly, with a possible late ko. Froch and Bute's resumes are about the same I'd say so once the tourney's done hopefully this **** talk will still be going on and both of them still relevant enough to make this an interesting fight if it were to happen.
Yeah... But people have short memories and disregard the fact that good fighters win some and loose some. When your 0 is gone then all your acomplishments count for nought. My point before was that Siaca, Beyer, Mundine and Andrade were higher in the ring ratings than any of Bute´s opponents at the time Kessler fought them (going by memory correct me if I´m wrong). Going by form and not resume I rate Froch, Bute and Ward ahead of Kessler in no particular order. Dirrel smidges in over Kessler if he looses to Froch.
I'm not sure Andrade was higher in the ring, prior to the Kessler fight but I agree with you. Kessler has the best resume. He also have 2 losses, which makes a difference in his ranking. Still, he can beat at least 3 of the 5 other participants. I think he'll have trouble with Dirrell too.
