Fightnews today I think those guys knows a little bit about boxing ... Bute !! http://www.fightnews.com/Boxing/super-six-fighters-praise-bute-78680#more-78680
"Ward declined to comment on Bute saying hes solely focused on his May Semifinal matchup against Abraham." WTF atsch
Anyone who actually watches Bute fight should be able to see his skills. The guys who constantly berate him aren't paying attention to what the man does in the ring.
Bute is one of the many paper champs out there, Froch would school him, so would Ward, Dirrell (Dr. Shay Hai) and Johnson. He'd beat another paper champ like Abraham tough.
Can't agree with this.. Bute does look class and i personally believe is as good as the best in the division.. Forch or ward may well beat him but in the same breath he may well beat them too.
Good to see mutual respect in that division, nobody is really an arsehole among the top fighters. They're all confident in winning, something I think has been taken away from Arthur Abraham now, which will lead to him losing to Ward. Truth be told though, everyone in the super six would've had a clean record against Butes opposition, they all would've been undefeated with the exception of Green. Bute hasn't even looked that spectacular beating C-level opposition like Andrade, one who Mikkel Kessler totally shut out and didn't need two fights to defeat without controversy.
At least Froch hasn't taken four years as a so called champion to fight legitimate opponents. Bute has not done anything in four years, whereas you only need to look at Carls latest string of opponents shouts greatness.
I can see you missed the rematch. You know, the one Bute was in good shape? He did what Kessler was not able to do, remember? KO him?
But Kessler didnt need to wobble around and fall over like bambi on ice after 12 rounds of boxing against Andrade, he beat him soundly and without question defended his title. Whereas Bute needed two fights.
Kessler was not ill a couple of weeks before the fight. Bute proved in the rematch what he can do when he's in shape. Kessler wasn't able to ko Andrade.
