Would Lucian Bute have a higher chance of beating Joe Calzaghe or Mikkel Kessler?

Deal. You have a chance to win something here, I take Mundine at about 60%, but the Kessler fight you have no shot, so maybe we'll split it here.

 

to answer the question, Bute has no chance against either of them. He might beat that ****** Mundine though.

 

I think both would be hard fights and the winner would not be a given. I think chances currently would be about 20-30% against both.

 

Against Calzaghe? 20% sure.

Against Kessler? 0%.

 

You'd score -100% mate!

I'll be fair, you already know how I role with things, Bute has the chance that any fighter getting in the ring has, the chance that Kessler doesn't show up or gets injured....

So, 5%.

I said that Andrade had a 0% chance also, he didn't win a round and got thrashed.... similiar to how Bute would get thrashed but would get stopped.

 

I'd have told told Andrade face to face that I am being humane in the sense that I am trying to prevent him from taking a massive beating that may damage him forever, luckily he was an iron man.

Bute/Andrade is actually a good fight, I'd go Bute 116-112.

 

Sure, first defence, let's say Mario Veit, then Mundine.

Berrio and Veit would give him some experience and he'd KO both, which builds a train for him to ride on, which helps in match making.

 

It's because it would be best to give Lucian a nice "highlight" fight for his first defence. Inkin KOed Veit in the 7th, if Bute got Veit in say the 3rd, then that builds more for him since Veit is a name in Europe and has a record of 45-3.

Lacy is virtually considered to be done because of injuries and that bad thrashing vs. Calzaghe, Lacy has to prove otherwise that he is not finished with a few tune ups, he's not going to jump in with Bute all rusty.

Bute needs to build steadily, jumping in with Lacy that early will work against him either way because Lacy would be rusty, coming off injury/lay off and has not proven recovery, and if Lacy KOed Bute, then that puts Bute back.

I'd go with Veit, then I'd take Inkin if I couldn't get Mundine.

So Berrio, Veit, Inkin/Mundine would be what I would attempt for Bute's next 3 if I were the manager and believe me, that's great comp.
