    He was ****ed! Just watch him in the corner before the 12th...

    Andrade didn't hurt him much in the 12th...it was tiredness that got to him...he even stopped throwing punches late on, he was so ****ed.

    but do you think he could have fought a diff 12 even with his fatigue?Im still wondering how he tired so fast ...i never saw him that tired in any of his fights before...Andrade was tougher than any other opponent thats for sure but did'nt Bute had the best preparation of his career for this fight?

    Mate, he did really well to stay on his feet and fight Andrade off for as much as he did, in the 12th. He was ****ed to bits.

    Bute has good, if not very good stamina, but because he chose to clinch with a much stronger opponent, Andrade tired him out and took away a lot of his energy. He also had to go at a faster pace than he'd have liked, because Andrade was putting a hell of a lot of pressure and because he couldn't keep the guy off him with his power...Andrade was much tougher and harder chinned than he could have assumed from watching the videos. Bute did have the best preparation, but he was coming of a long layoff, after taking a complete brake from training following his knee injury. He said it actually turned out he sparred too many rounds in training; it seems he had overdone it and left a bit in the gym, instead of taking it all in the ring on the night. Next time, he won't have such a long training camp, and he should be stronger and fitter for it, hopefully. It will also help that he won't face Andrade too, of course.

    Bute has to become a considerably better fighter to beat Andrade the second time around, because Andrade will fight a better fight tactically...

    There is a mix of quality young unbeaten fighters on the fringe , and will be TOP contenders very soon. Andre Ward is my main man , also Daniel Jacobs to watch out for .

    Kessler and Bute needs to fight. I thought Bute won legitimately, no need for a rematch against Andrade. Kessler took care of his mandatory, so lets get it on.

    It is shocking to me that Pascal appears on many of your lists. Who has he beaten? He had a war with Brian Norman and almost got KO'd by Pittman. I was at those two fights and he looked horrible.

    Yea, I know I am going to hear the shoulder excuse, but come on, these guys were brought into make him look good. If his shoulder was that bad he should have not fought.

    I actually like the guy, but dont see how he can rank in the top 10 of anybody's list. Maybe if he grabs the belt againt Froch he will deserve a high ranking. But not yet!

    Forgot about him.. Just so much talent at 168, it's kind of hard ranking an accurate top 10.. I do like my top 6 though..

    I wasn't saying your list was bad. It's pretty good actually. I just wanted to know what you're thinking was on Dirrell.
