One thing that always cracks me up about this particular KO is how excited Bute is when Andrade goes down from the body shot and he's screaming over to his corner... "Yes!" .. "Yes!"..
Bute shouldnt even be top 3. Froch has beat better competition Ward has beaten better competition So has Kessler What has Bute down but beat a walking punching bag who Kessler beat in 12 rounds not 16?
You are not reasonable if you talk about UNDISPUTED CHAMP. None will be recognized if remains an unbeaten champ untill they meet. Regarding the topspot, yes you`re right, but who cares? People want no doubts.
You show no perspective thinking. But of course you`re better than professionals from The Ring or Box Rec who rate know Bute as No. 1 in the category. You don`t compare , smart guy, the performance of two boxers just relating to one guy. Is not about 12 against 16 rounds it`s about the last performance of Bute against the same fighter. The people that Kessler won are weeker competition than Bute`s.
Froch almost lost against Taylor and lost against Dirrell. How can you think he earns a better spot than Bute? Kessler just lost to Ward, who was not in the top 3. How can you think Kessler earns to be in front of Bute? You may have a point with Ward or even Abraham but both Froch and Kessler are clearly behind Bute.
He might, but I doubt he's stronger than AA. Bone, you know I like your posts, but this time we've different opinions. If Bute will face AA at SMW, he'll get KTFO. I'm totally convinced that Bute can't take AA's shots and on the other hand AA's defense is too good for Bute even if it is quite obvious that he is a good body puncher. I've got to admit though that I've only seen Bute fighting twice (Bute vs. Andrade I and II)
If Arthur A. will loose a fight in the turney,and I think he will, you will change your opinion fast considering a remaining very possible undefeated Bute.
The key against Abraham: lateral movement. Taylor doesn't have any. Bute has very good lateral movement which would create openings in Abraham's shell. Bute can be very patient too, another quality Taylor doen't have. That would be a very interesting fight but it's not for tomorrow. Abraham should easily make at least the semi-finals of the super six.
This. I'm sorry but looking good against limited opponents shouldn't put you on the top. I hate Froch but he HAS beaten better fighters than Bute has.
There's nothing to indicate that Taylor and Dirrell are better than Bika and Andrade other than the amount of publicity that they get.
:scaredas: Jeez I agree but f**kin ell , didn't expect that post from you ! its really too close to call at the top at the minute, not with all this tourney business going on Cant we just be pleased there is such a large amount of Talent at 168 right now ?
