What rating as a fighter does Bute get?

You think Bute would easily beat Mundine in Australia? I dont. Not to mention Andrade?

What has Bute done to deserve the flattering?

Kessler would beat Bute pretty easily. 8-4 or something like that if not a late tko.

 

Unless of course he beat Bute, who's a B/B+ fighter on your scale (I know you'd obviously pick Bute, but IF he [Mundine] did win, obviously he gets higher).

I'd really like a Mundine-Bute fight right now. See where both are at...

 

If Calzaghe is an A and Kessler an A-, Bute is a solid B.

 

Mundine will never want to fight Bute...

 

I think a fight between Bute and Mundine would be pretty even. But Im also dead certain that Mundine would win it today.
In a year or two I think it will be Bute - but he seriously needs to improve his defence BAD. His offence is pretty good and could take him to B+ level.

 

Nah, Bute is not an easy fight.. He would win, i do believe that.. Possibly TKO, but he wont win every round. Bute is much better than Andrade and Mundine.

 

bump

 

I agree - but what I saw in his last fight wasnt that impressive and certainly not solid B. He had serious problems with a very limited (yet tricky ) fighter.

In a year or two - with the right management, fights, training etc. he will be solid B/B+

 

I didn't like his last fight very much either. It was very much a wobbly safety first fight. But...good as you may be, if you take Berrio lightly, unless you get lucky yourself, he will KO you.

 

It could go that way and Bute would probably loose by late tko. I agree.

But dont you see potential in Bute? I mean - he has good offensive qualities, hes tall as hell and he is southpaw with pretty fast hands and some power.
Dude has got potential!

 

:good

I also think Mundine beats Bute

 

Mundine fight will never happen because he'll never come to Montreal to fight Bute.

 

No way is Mundine a lot better. Bute outclassed Bika (about as dominantly as Calzaghe), Knocked out Berrio (who knocked out Mack and Stieglitz, although both are overrated). Mundine got more trouble from Nader Hamdan than Mads Larsen did. He is fighting all bums. Bute would beat Mundine handily.
