A lot of you say Bute. Im not a big fan of his but imo he will be nr1, not for what he has but for what Ward and Froch lack. Froch isnt slick enough to win a points decision over Bute. Ward is, but I doubt he has the chin to go the distance with Bute. I could be wrong off course. But on the other hand I do believe that if Bute picks the wrong opponent, it will be over for him. I believe someone like Dirrel would give him a real hard time in the ring. And maybe even a granite chinned brawler like Oosthuizen who has never been on the canvas.
i agree with every word that you said .... indeed Dirrel would give Bute some problems / a hard fight due his style .... but this fight wouldn't be so attractive/sellable like kessler,froch,ward fights.
I totally disagree about Khan. For one Khan has dominated all his recent (basically since the defeat) opponents and only ever looked in bother for about 90 seconds against Maidana. The fact he overcame that onslaught enhances his rep in my eyes. The fact he isn't even in the top 10 p4p (and Bradley is!) gives further weight to the fact he isn't over rated. For me it has to be Martinez, he is p4p number 3 and talked of in a similar way to the big two yet his resume leaves a lot to be desired.
I dont like to discredit fighters but bute have got a heap of praise and who have he beat ? So I would go with bute or khan
rios, most talk like he would KO maidana, the guy is a level below what juan diaz was but seems to get more recognition
alot are saying JCC jr is overrated, if most say his a bum wouldn't that mean that he's not overrated, he has two good wins- over dudey and zbik.
how the **** is jmm overated. Most people didn't even give him a chance of winning this upcoming fight.
