How good is Lucian Bute?

Pretty good. I do not see greatness in him.

 

agreed. so far i see very goodness in him. he's a tremendous counterpuncher, with brilliant reflexes and timing. he's similar to chris eubank in a sense and doesn't look good going forward. the deeper he delves into the top fighters at 168, the more we'll see stylistic flaws emerge

 

Best active body puncher in the game.

Can't say because he's not active enough against the best. He might as well move up to 175 and challenge the Hopkins-Dawson winner.

 

So far he's good. The next 3 fights will show us how great he is.

 

Worry that his D is too open and he may be too fragile when the chips are down. But his offense is pretty advanced.

 

Top 3 SMW for sure! i can't wait to see him agains't the top !

 

This.

Exactly where in the top 3 we will hopefully find out.

 

Hard to say with his competition but bar Andrade 1 he's looked impressive

 

The answer to how good he is, i think, has to be we don't know yet.7
Obviously he is good.
But until he goes up against someone who has proven himself in the super6. We don't know how good he is and it is hard to judge.

 

from a rating system of 1 too 10 (1 being a total bum, a treat for debuting fighters, 10 goat)

8.8

 

Exactly, its when people say he is "the best supermiddle in the world right now" based on how good he looks against sub standard opposition, that puzzles me.

 

I heard some people say Ward would win the Super 6 before it started. Just saying.

 

Toney and RJJ are considered all time greats by many despite a record as weak as Bute's

 

not as good as froch
