Maybe one day Bute and Froch will fight eachother, and you'll be in for a big surprise. Andrade and Bika are still top ten guys, so that answers your question: yes he beat top guys. Green is not a top guy. Miranda neither. That leaves one single good win for Ward. Facts.
I agree,he is good but is getting too much credit for very little.He has not really fought anyone of note other than Andrade.
Read properly what he wrote. He said Bute proved himself versus every possible style except the fast, slick & athletic one (which at 168lbs are Dirrell & Ward).
I really dont care if he is ranked 1, 2 or 6. As soon as he gets a chance to hit one of the super 6 contestants they will go down. Bute would absolutely stop Green and Direll. They are fragile. The outcome of Ward vs Bute IF it goes the distance will depend on where the fight takes place. Kessler, Abraham and Froch have a puncher chance as Bute arguably had some stamina issues (medical related or not) in the first Andrade fight. Just hating Bute will not make him less lethal...he can box and he can bang. Show me another super 6 that does that together. And he gave a rematch to Andrade...that alone should have earned a measure of respect. Show me a Bute fan that thrashes another fighter... I dont like Mayweather but he said something I respect: "U dont like my mouth...close it". U dont like Bute...wait till one of the super 6-ers beats him...until then he is undefeated, feared and supported by a lot of ppl
Froch is a lead with your face zombie. Thats why Bute will gamble on him once he is available. It shouldn't be too long since he will not win another fight in the tourney. Anyone who saw the froch/dirrell fight and thinks froch won should start watching basketball.
Green is not a bum on the level of Berrio and I have a feeling Green would have more than enough for Zuniga. It won't be as easy to **** on Green after he "is much improved" against Kessler.
Dirrell Beats the Brakes off of Bute.. you will see.. that fight is up next if Dirrell doesn't advance in the S6... That said I don't have to go all MichiganWarrior on this post.. this is clearly the truth.. just cause the judges say so.. not one meaningful leagl punch was landed by Froch.. and that Irish Jig he did when Dirrell countered the **** out of him and had him going backwards was priceless.. More Punches landed, harder legal shots landed..All by Dirrell.. As far is bute is concerned.. he better pick up the S6 scraps minus Green... his resume needs to get beefed up quick.. and Fighting R. Stiglez or whatever his name is a must but since neither travel.. then that fight is probably not getting made..
Beats the hell out of me. I dont care for him one bit, in fact hes a fighter i routinely cheer against, but the man is a solid fighter and i think one of the best at 168 based on ability, but he simply hasnt done enough and his exclusion of super six, his fault or not, hurts him in this regard as well. No way is he number one, IMO
Racism is not only black or white, it's also putting a judgement based on your nationality If you dont know **** because your Canadian, it is a racist though
