    Bute should stick to fighting his bums in Canada and let those Canadians belive he is the best cause nobody else will belive it until he mans up and faces some decent competition, he wanted no part of the Super Six because its almost certain he would lose at least once, i give credit to every fighter in the Super 6 for manning up and taking a huge risk to their careers.

    Not "clearly" but certainly in the running.

    Thanks for the good words. I would not say I'm objective though. I assume the fact I'm a fan. :D Let's hope our future exchanges help us become better boxing fans. I think they do.

    LoL at Miranda been Bute biggest test: Berrio, Bika and Andrade are all better than Miranda.

    Bute is gonna beat Miranda inside 5 rounds.

    That's why I made sure to throw the word "arguably" in there. Still, I think Miranda is his best opponent to date. Let's agree to disagree.

    I wonder what shot bum Bute will fight after Miranda, maybe they'll try and get Robin Reid out of retirement or maybe Mario Veit.

    So while the participants in the super-6 beat up each other, Bute fights mediocre opposition, yet he immediately gets the right to fight the winner once the tourney ends?

    Doesn't sound right to me.

    Who has Bute faced? An old Joppy? Andrade? Ward's win over Kessler and Froch's wins over Dirrell and Taylor outweigh that.

    Andrade is definitely tougher than Miranda I think anyways. Also, a win over Taylor at 168 means less on the resumes than what people are giving credit for. Taylor simply has been a mediocre fighter since the KO loss to Pavlik.

    Ward refused to fight in the tournament if Bute fought in it, so that says something, Also, Ward refused to fight in tournament unless he got all his fights in his hometown. Hell, Green will be cheated, watch and see.

    Don't think a case can be made to say anyone is best in the Super Middleweight division.

    There is a handful of pretty even fighters who could all beat each other.
