    No it can't. He's skilled yes but his resume sucks.

    based on resumes Froch is the best right now. And yet does anybody believe that Froch is the best boxer? Bute is not the best yet, but he is going to be!

    We agree a lot more than you think. You are a very objective, sensible, and reasonable poster. Our favorite fighters just happen to be in each other's way, so we seem to butt heads much more than we have to. You've made damn good points on the opposite side of my argument in the past. If everybody here agreed with each other this forum would suck ass.

    My criticisms of Bute are all things that I'm sure will change eventually. Assuming he beats Miranda, I'm sure he will only fight the best from here on out. If his success continues, he will also find himself fighting in the U.S., and I don't see why every Bute fight from now on shouldn't be on HBO. The SMW division has recently been raided with talent and is definitely one of the deepest in boxing. Many opportunities for Bute, despite not being in the Super Six.

    No Bute is not the best. Why Miranda? IMO he is no longer top 10 in division. You can't make a career fighting Andrade

    Definitely not "CLEARLY the best" ...but those of you who say he is do have a strong case for him.

    I don't think so. Bute hasn't fought good enough competition yet for me.

    Bute gets his management to wander round the streets looking for guys to weigh 168 going by the level of his competition
