Is Bute a poor man's Calzaghe?

Well if you put it like that yey you are right,as far as resumes go Calzaghe is a future HOF fighter probably first ballot,and Bute is far from there right know,but in HTH matchup I think Bute would give Calzaghe a tough fight I wouldnt count him out in that one. In fact I think Joe should come back, I think he should have fought Dawson before retiring, if he dont wanna fight at LH then he should fight whoever comes out on top in the SM division. It sounds like im hating on Calzaghe in what i am about to say but seems like he retired when the opprotunity for big fights to made came around. He is a young 37 and he still had something left. Overall he deserves a spot in the HOF but hes Overrated and in my opinion not an ATG on the High level.

 

Close in style but Calzage faster and a better defence, Bute improving but I dont know if he has the same recupritive power as Joe

 

Agreed :good

 

there are similarities in their respective styles. Butes legacy is yet to be written.

 

Bute's style and physique reminded me of Calz..

 

Bute is Bute. He is the best 168 lb fighter in the world today. No wonder he was not allowed to fight in the tournament!
