    :nono Jack has a bad chin, Bute's chin is fine, he stood up to shots from DeGale, Pascal, Miranda, Zuniga, Johnson, Andrade*, Bika it was only Froch that truly destroyed him, and he didn't even go down in that match, could you imagine what any of those guys would do to Jack.:!:


    * He was tired

    yeah standing up and taking 10-15 clean shots vs froch doesn't really show evidence of a bad chin. he showed evidence of having a heart of glass in that fight though.

    This might resemble Miranda- Bute can hit hard with his uppercut and counters. That Edwards fight was sad to watch. The second KD was a rabbit punch, but there was no way he was recovering. He better have done leg and neck work for this challenge. :roll:

    I'm with you on this one. I rate Degale as the best 168er of today and Bute gave the Brit a very tough fight. If Jack can do the same or better he's mos def Top 3 168. Tomorrow will be an entertaining night that for sure.

    If Jack wins, I doubt any Bute fans will give him credit anyways, so it doesn't matter what people think.

    Don't forget this guy either he was vicious hitter. He was voted the best puncher in the division by the Ring magazine once.

    I think he is talented enough but I think it's a real stretch calling him the real deal.

    Jacks two best wins are Dirrell and Groves, I never really rated Anthony Dirrell and most say Groves looks the shadow of his former self since Froch.

    So what has Badu done to really impress?

    He's a good fighter and he seems like a genuinely humble and likable chap in interviews. Anthony ''The Dog'' Dirrell is more of a poodle than a pitbull but he's fairly decent. I think Groves underestimated Jack a bit though and fought a really stupid fight against him. He wasted far too much energy throwing punches at thin air and arms and gloves and ended up running out of gas. And that was a Paddy Fitzpatrick trained Groves as well. The Booth trained Groves was better than that one, and I think the Shane McGuigan trained one is probably a little better than that one too. It was a very winnable fight for Groves.

    I do think Jack is a good fighter though and he and Groves are roughly on the same level. I think he's done great to pick himself back up off the floor after the debacle against Edwards and rack up back-to-back wins against Dirrell and Groves.

    Yes, Jack is the real deal. Thing is, swedish guys are weak and soft, they're no longer vikings, just a bunch of green power morons.Romanians are mean mofockers, they will steal your wallet and **** your kids. So yeah, he's the real deal in Sweden but he would be a janitor in Romania, maybe worst. Dunno how much Romanian has Bute in him, Canadians are just as soft tho...

    HA! Romanians are a bunch gypsies, you're the only person is history that call Romanians tough! Sweden might not be what it used to be but Sweden at least have history of violence. Romanians is just a bunch of homeless people that try to "steal your wallet"...

    I hope Jack win even more than after that stupid comment you made.
