    I agree Bute will beat Froch, i think he will pick him apart with clean punches. Froch seems to have a good chin and power but very leaky defence.

    Why? By the time he gets in there with a top SMW, he will no longer be a top 10.:good

    I like him because he's a nice guy, because he fights the best and because he insisted on rematching Pavlik even without the belt on the line and because he improved after his loss. I think he will perform better at 168 lbs than at 160 lbs, even though, relatively speaking, that might not be apparent.

    By the time he gets brutally dominated by a standard top 10 SMW, the fans will then just hype on the SMW in question, thus the vicious overhyping involved with overrated fighters continue.

    If everyone would just accept that Taylor's a decent fighter, we wouldn't have this issue, but instead, he has to be hyped up to P4P ability.

    We'll see...hope Taylor fights Bute first!:D

    (Taylor has a good jab and a good right and that's good enough to give Bute a hard time, I guess)

    Bute 8-4, cleaner than pavlik took it second time around. Don't rule out a late TKO either, Taylor gasses. Bute will drop the rounds on tentativeness, but really pick up and start outboxing Taylor with his superior speed and timing.

    Aside from Froch, Kessler, Bute, Miranda, Calzaghe, and a few other contenders, I haven't seen enough SprMW's fight to make a genuine list.

    I'm don't make my ranking based on what if, A -vs- B or potential.

    I base my rankings base on recent accomplishment.

    The fact that Bute ranked higher then Taylor, Miranda, Andrade, Froch, etc... does not mean I believe he would easily beat all those guys. It just means he has done more at 168lbs.
