There's nothing wrong with Bute, He's doing well, but I can't say he's better then Froch or Ward at this point. I don't know why Boxrec has him at #1.
Hes very talented, but not proven yet. Still waiting for him to fight a prime warrior, but at least someone like Kessler who has been inconsistent or an AA would be a step in the right direction.
Because Boxrec is a computer ranking system and doesn't work very often. I can think Bute is the best but his resume sure doesn't put him there. I rank him number 3, behind Froch and Ward. Kessler is out for more than one year, so he has to regain his place.
I'm tired of waiting for the big one to come. Hope Sauerland doesn't stop this fight to happen. He would have preferred a Kessler-super 6 winner clash but Showtime wants an eliminator between him and Bute.
