    I have to be honest...I am beginning to hate Froch. This guy is a complete tool. He is one of those guys that just appeared on the world-wide boxing scene for casual fans and he acts as if he is world class. Seriously, he barely won that fight against JT and had JT had proper stamina he would have KO'd Froch much earlier. He did win, but NOT impressive at all. Frankly, I think his media speaking rights should be revoked until he becomes nearly as good as he thinks/says he is. LOL :)

    As for Bute, he seems like a nice enough person, but I think he very overrated. Andrade gave him a KO loss that the referee screwed up when they fought. Andrade deserved that KO IMHO. Bute seems to have some basic boxing skills, but not elite boxing skills. He has not real power to speak of because Andrade charged him all night and was never deterred. I think Bute is a lacking champion and will be immediately dethroned when he fights a very solid fighter.

    So, what do you guys think? Who is more overrated, Froch or Bute?

    I don't really want to get into who is overrated because these things just go in circles and never achieve anything.

    I would just say you are being somewhat harsh on Bute's firepower IMO. Kessler didn't deter Andrade either. So that is two of the better 168lb'ers that have failed to stop him in his tracks...perhaps it simply says more about Andrade's durability? Who else would stop Andrade?

    Bute has knocked out most of his opponents, my criticism would be he's a little slow to finish guys at times.

    both are overrated by their fans but once again, i don't blame the fighters. both are ranked by ring EXACTLY where they should be. bute doesn't **** talk anyone and shouldn't get flack for what some people (russ anber here in canada) have to say about him. as for froch, he's selling himself. he has no real charisma so he talks a lot to get attention but i think most people see him for what he is: a big puncher with some decent skills who is nearing the top of his division.

    How does Bute have no power? It's underrated if anything. He pretty much killed Berrio, has legit KDs against two tough guys known for granite chins (Andrade and Bika) and did a number on Zuniga.

    It's underrated if anything.

    Froch has wins over the former UD middleweight champ close to his prime + win over the light heavy Champ.

    Froch is the better fighter.

    Bute isnt over rated because u would be stupid to even rate him

    Froch easily. Once he fights a guy who can actually box and move, he will look foolish.

    Yeah but who's saying that Froch is a great fighter with bags of skill and ability? :huh

    No-fecking-one.

    Froch has a decent chin, good power and great heart - THOSE are his attributes.

    Every fighter has different -/+

    I think you're right. I also think that there are 2 or 3 guys who could just run right over him due to his poor defense and footwork.
