Was Lucian Bute one of the biggest hype job that got exposed in modern boxing?

    No he's not the biggest. But I want to adress something...

    To all these people saying "Oh well Bute was only fighting at 50%" That's bull****. On the elite level, especially in a title fight, part of belonging on that level is having a sense of urgency.

    Being illprepared or lacking urgency are not valid excuses for why a fighter loses. I'm sick of hearing these two excuses for why Ward beat Froch and why Froch beat Bute.

    Froch has a bigger chance for beating Ward in a rematch than Bute has beating Froch. I had it 111-117 Ward. And Froch was winning a shout out in my cards v Bute

    The way he lost to Froch made people, especially those who hoped for a similar fate without believing in it, enjoy themselves calling him a fraud etc
    I even saw a thread about a fantasy match up Bute - Lacy with 40% of the voters chosing Lacy by KO :****off

    I still think Bute beats Froch 8 times out of 10.

    Froch is grossly underestimated. People forget that, had he won one more round he would have drawn with the supposedly incredible SOG.


    Has arguably lost three times but he has never truly been dominated nor massively outclassed.


    Ward did NOT dominate Froch. Ward won a clear but CLOSE decision vs him.

    Way to early to tell. Bute still has a lot of fights left in him. Lets see what he does next.

    Carl Froch rolled over Bute like a monstertruck..

    I think Bute is better than what he showed against Froch, i don't think he is quite a hypejob, he does many things well but he didn't do anything well against Froch..

    Bute has the skills and physical gifts to be an elite fighter, but he have to prove that he can handle pressured situations and jams.. While this can be learned though experience, it is just something that some guys has and some guys doesn't..
    Bute just doesn't seem to have "IT" like Froch, Kessler and Ward...
    But time will tell, Wladimir recovered from some big set backs in his career.. Let's see if Bute and Khan can do the same..

    A notorious Butard, Tzuica, was arguing that Bute's resume was better than Froch's. :nut:lol::rofl:patsch

    No , he isn't . In the future , he needs to prove that he's better than what he showed that night against Froch , and the whole thing was an accident. I'm hoping for that.
