    Looosy pute.. And it isn't close.. Froch has fought everyone and has travelled to hostile environments to take on the best..
    Lucian boote has been fighting @home for most of his career, and got knocked out by Andrade :rofl ..
    Bute is a china chinned fraud, Froch is an iron jawed warrior

    Nothing about Froch is overrated. The man has done better than I ever thought he could and he has fought everyone he could. And I pick him to beat Bute.

    Both aren't overrated.

    Froch is known to have defensive issues and Bute can be hurt.
    I also think the odds on the fight are on the mark, with Bute about the 2 to 1 favourite although he's fighting in Froch's backyard.

    I don't think either are overrated but I'd like to ask a question;Who could/should Froch have fought that he hasn't or has refused to?

    'Lucian Bute is the best super middleweight in the world' is a title of a thread on the front page.

    Neither of them is better than Ward.

    Therefore this is your answer.

    froch has been underrated and expected to lose all his fights really, i fail to see how he is overrated. He scraped by and won razor close decisions which are controversial but he still got the win, he proved a lot of people wrong. He's not overrated people know the truth about froch's resume and how valuable the wins are.

    Bute is rated so highly and has done nothing, he has no notable wins and no great names on his resume and lost to andrade and the first time bute travels from home for a big fight he choses the exposed froch who's coming off a big loss, ward, direll, taylor already showed froch is a **** boxer. What's bute proving in this fight? he can brawl. I want to see bute box vs the boxers he will have to face in the future.

    Froch is definitely more tested, but why do they have to be overrated. It seems people on this board just immediately want to knock guys down a few notches. Cobined 58-2 record. What's wrong with that?

    Bute for me - as a few people have said, Froch has gone overseas more than once and fought tough, game opponents. Cant think of a big name on Butes resume.

    I didnt like Froch a while back, especially how he kept on and on about how he'd easily beat Calzaghe (more chance of a snowball in hell than that happening) but he hasnt backed down from anyone or any venue and hes worthy of some respect imho
