Is Bute clearly the best at 168?

Based on what? actuall rankings or Your personal opinion. based on rankings he's beaten more ranked and proven fighters then both dirrell, ward, AA and Green. Zuniga flat blated Ogonov who was undefeated at the time in less time then Dirrell and and is a better win for Bute then Ogonov is for dirrell. Andrade X2, Bika, Berrio and hell even zuniga outweigth Miranda and Kessler(although Kessler does give ward that im Nipping at his heels Case) AA has Miranda and Taylor. and Green well green has some ok wins.

 

the more Pascal wins the better forch's wins looks. but Pascal wasn't even ranked top 10 by ring at the time when the fight took place. both berrio,bika and andrade were ranked higher then Pascal,Taylor and dirrell at the time froch beat them. and taylor never Belonged in the Top 5 to begin with b4 he fought froch.

 

Jack Dempsey. truer words have never beeen spoken

 

My boy Tays is on the ****ing WARPATH:bananamaniac

 

:yep

these so called fans no **** about the division and the rankings they are fanboys and seem to think their fighter is the best . none have really compelling arguments. thing is the winner of the tourney will be #1. Bute will be Number #2 unless dawson comes back to 168 and loses to bute.

 

What did taylor and miranda ever do at 168? who have they beaten? AA although very strong and Powr like an OX really never beat alegit 168lber . and he's one of my favorite fighter but it's the trutht. thing is The winner of this tourney will be #1. Unless Dawson decides to move down and fight Bute like he's been thinking

 

Nope. Wins over Andrade don't impress me. And neither will one over Miranda.

 

The answer is NO, he isn't.

 

Uh, Super 6 ring a bell? I think it's rubbish that he's not in it and I find it rather convenient for him that he's not.

 

Nope.

 

"Clearly" the best? Who is he, Manny Pacquiao?

 

ward isnt number 1 at the moment he has had one big win in his career thats it..imo smw division is wide open with a number of fighters you could be number 1,froch should be rated close to the top,along with ward.dirrell kessler and bute,abraham coudl re deem himself to

 

Hell no. He beats Andrade now he's number 1? WTF??!!! And that's after Andrade pretty much beat him the first time. I see them both 1-1 to be fair.

 

I rate Bute at the moment narrowly at number 1, ahead of Ward and Froch.
I think if Froch beats Kessler he will overhaul him. If Ward beats Dirrell he will also overhaul him.

I see him as number 1 at the moment but he won't be able to keep up with anybody who keeps winning in the super 6!

 

You don't have an argument. Bute's resume isn't anything special and he's not fighting the elites at 168 like everyone else is in this tourney. Bute has no claim to being the #1 man at 168 and only a delsuional Bute nuthugger would think otherwise.
