    I don't think Bute is one of the best 25 in the world yet.

    If Andrade beats Stieglitz and Bute beats Andrade whilst proving he can deal well with Andrade's pressure, he is Top 30 for sure. If he beats Taylor, then, he is Top 25 at least. If he beats Pavlik, he is Top 20, just. If he beats Froch v. Inkin winner, again, he is Top 20. What I think, anyway.

    I know he isnt very active anymore but Oscar De la Hoya easily has top 25 p4p skills/talent and resume he belongs on that list. He took Floyd to a SD your number 1.

    Cory Spinks and Lucian Bute. If Bute beats a guy like Froch or Inkin, then I'd have no problems putting him top 20-25.

    k i'll take note. I admit a little bit of bias for Bute here.

    I'll add Calderon and Juan Diaz to my list and figure out who is out when i determine the rankings

    As far as talent goes I could stick him in the top 10 but I understand his recent resume isnt too great so im not going to overate him like I see on some list wheres hes in the top 12. Id stick him ahead of Linares,Bute and John for sure they have yet to do much of note the only really good win any of them have is Johns over JMM and im not sure if u saw the fight but u probablly know what im hinting at. At worst id rank him low 20s I could make a case for being in the mid to low teens.
