Has Bute ever beaten anyone as good as Pavlik?

Will Kelly Pavlik be Bute's best opponent yet?

At 168 its possible that andrade of a few yrs ago beats bute.. Bika too.

I agree with Walt, assuming he meant Pavlik and not Bute.

[revs1227]

no absolutely not
but this is not a prime pavlik
this is pavlik after rehab lol

I think Pavlik would beat Andrade but im not sure about Bika.

at this stage I cant call Pavlik to be his biggest test or the best fighter Bute has ever faced, but maybe hes the biggest name.

Bute is up there for bigger things (Kessler, Super6 winner)

You can hit andrade in the face with an aluminum bat. Thats why i say andrade is a tuff fight for pavlik.

Oh no doubt he would be a tough fight for Pavlik. i remember when Kessler beat him like a heavy bag for 12 rounds and he took that beating like nothing. I see Pavlik winning a dec against him.

Bika is a better win, especially because of how easily he handled him.

Im interested to see what happens if Pavlik can stand up to Bute's power early and can apply pressure in the later rounds. I still havent seen Bute tested late in a fight since the first Andrade fight.
