Something tells me that Ward is afraid of the uppercut of bute. Ward was knock down only once in his career and it was from an uppercut...imagine one from Bute. Bute -Ward in Vegas would be awsome
Floyd P4P #1-2 Cotto P4P just outside #10 but Floyd moving up Pac P4P #1-2 Bradley P4P #8 Ward P4P #5 Bute P4P #outside the top 10 :huh
If Bute destroy Froch he will be in the Top 10 ...don't worry even Top 5 because ward is in the top 5 and maybe Bute will beat Froch better than Ward. Then you will have Ward and Bute in the top 5. In fall it will be a pound for pound fight. Pacquiao in on decline...big time...not Bute and not Ward
Boxrec says he is 9th and he was 8th and the best SMW until Ward to win Froch. Ring Magazine not yet.
I don't think Bute will be in the top 5 even if he knocks Froch out (which is not done). More something like 8 to 10. Still a p4p fight. Is it the best? maybe not but let's not be fussy: any p4p fight is a great thing.
Before the Froch fight, some people ranked Bute 4th or 5th in his own division, so as you said, I dont think if Bute beat Froch he will climb 5th p4p.
