    I like Bute, mainly because he's a Southpaw. But is a resume full of fighters like Librade (twice, with one of the fights he shouldv'e lost) an old-ass William Joppy, a shot Edison Miranda and Jesse Brinkley? Is this the reume of a Fighter that should be considered the Best Super Middleweight in the World?

    When the "Super 6" ends, will Bute face the winner ro work his way up the list by fighting the participants who have pulled out. Kessler vs Bute would be a nice fight. Or one of the Talented young prospects that were on Showtime this past weekend Edwin Rodrigez or Marcus Johnson?

    I just don't see him as "THE BEST" in a Talented Division..

    I had Kessler in the Finals. Sad to see he pulled out.

    I agree , he has fought one puncher in his entire career and got knocked out.

    Needs to step up the level.

    Best 168lber in the world will be decided november 27th in Helsinki

    My money's on the Cobra...

    Glen Johnson schools billy goat ward but gets robbed in hicksville oakland - then ward soils his shorts and contracts neurological disorders to avoid fighting Froch.



    I've seen it.

    You could just stop starting threads asking if he's number one. I mean, that's about the 20th thread on the subject, abd not a single one has been started by a Bute fan. Mostly because we know he still has to beat the top.

    He arguably has a better resume than Ward that's the only reason why he's ranked as the top SMW. Ward's resume will improve greatly with each fight, if you're talking about the best SMW based solely on skills Ward is the best SMW in the world, followed by Bute or Dirrell. I would love to see a Bute Dirrell fight, hopefully Dirrell comes out of retirement within a year.

    An ignorant poster should never pick Robinson in his alias. Do your homework kid. Andrade is not a puncher. Berrio, Bika are.

    I dont think so.

    I feel he is ability is getting overstated somewhat.

    and a nationalistic poster who takes things too much to heart should learn to step back and treat other people's respectful posts equally..lest he become "ignorant" himself...

    With all due respect to Bute, I do think he's overrated.

    Ward, in my opinion, is the best at 168. And he'll prove it when he wins the competition and faces Bute.
