    Golovkin knows his shirt.
    Look what Bute did to numerous S6 contenders opponents compared what the S6-ers did against them themselves. There was a reason why everyone was shouting for the winner to face Bute, wich he never did.
    Bute's weakness was his chin, but he's very strong with power in both hands.
    And a nightmare matchup for boxers or brawlers that don't have an iron chin.

    I won't be surprised the least if he upsets DeGale in his coming fight.

    Bute has just said he was injured in Nottingham and the team pushed him in the ring. He had hand injury and foot infection. In my opinion, Lucien is still one of the biggest talents of the division alongside Andre Ward.

    Bute was dominating that fight, and since amateur Bute improved a lot, GGG not much in my opinion.

    This is absolute Bull. GGG is pretending to forget Double G, Gaydarbek Gaydarbekov.

    Yes, odd that ...

    GG beat Golovkin by a wide margin, battered him from pillar to post, threw him around like a rag doll and denied him an Olympic Gold!

    I guess Golovkin has just blocked it out of his memory!

    Bute has not looked great since he fought Froch.

    Always makes me laugh when people who have never boxed say this about amateurs. When headgear was still in use the gloves were 10 oz. Now it's not they're 12oz. Hardly fencing is it I knocked a few out with head gear on.

    It's not sparring where you may have 16-30oz gloves.
