:good I have to be with you WesT, sorry Decebal, I do think that Bute is A level, sometimes A- and rarely A+. Is it the level of opponents that dictates the pace to a fight or a boxer that is able to impose his game ? I would bet my house that Martinez would not finish on his feet against a powerhouse like Lucian. I mean, the guy is 20 pounds lighter and a lot smaller, with less power. How in hell could he hurt Bute, it's like saying Froch would beat Haye easy......I don't know manatsch Don't loose your passion for the guy, good things are coming! Peace :good
I wish Bute all the best.:good For me, A level guys are Pacquiao and Mayweather because they regularly put in the highest level of performance - elite level performances that would make them very competitive against the best fighters that ever lived. :good
Not really interested in that one, and it would be a stupid business move on Martinez managements part. Martinez weight on fight night in the fights against Pavlik and Williams was 167 and 168. Bute's weight on fight night was 186!!! And it's not like Bute is slow or unskilled or something. That would pretty much kill Sergio's momentum.
i believe you said the same thing for lemieux/camacho....:rofl:rofl im pretty sure if there was a fight where a 147lb latino was fighting a 200lb non-latino you would find some way to discredit the non-latino fighter....... im sure if martinez fights pac you got martinez winningatschatsch:--(
Bute's size isn't the only issue here. It's the fact that he has skills, speed, sharpness, timing, and serious power too... Martinez wouldn't win this at 168 imo. Just don't see it.
Pikey from Romania? Where else coule a pikey be from? "Pikey from Romania" is a pleonasm; it's like saying "the ***, fatcity" :yep
