What do you fellas think about Lucian Bute?

I think Bute's a very talented, highly skilled, top notch super middleweight. I would like to see him up against a higher caliber fighter though, he's been disposing of his competition fairly easily. A fight with Kessler would be awesome. Well said, this guy gets way too much hate on here. He has a lot to prove but give him time.

Good to know that people agree with my opinion of him.. Thanks fellas.. Good to get away from the typical floyd pac BS for a minute

who is this power puncher at 168? Allan GReen, Abraham? are those the guys at 168 that would brutally stop him?..... I dont see anyone at 168 with brutal ko power but I would be interested to see how Bute handles a guy like Froch or Johnson who could give him a replay of the first Andrade fight.

He's good enough for haters to come out of the woodwork on online forums to bash him.

not sold on him yet but he is good. people just hating because hes white and canadian. he needs to start fighting better fighters at 31 years old though.

add one punch knockout power and you have painted the picture and he's got a stoppage loss to liberado andrade i don't care what the **** that ref says andrade knocked him out he's a much better fighter than he was in '08, but he's still a brutal stoppage waiting to happen if he gets in the ring with a real power puncher who is this power puncher at 168?

skillfull fighter fighting bums in his hometown add one punch knockout power and you have painted the picture and he's got a stoppage loss to liberado andrade i don't care what the **** that ref says andrade knocked him out he's a much better fighter than he was in '08, but he's still a brutal stoppage waiting to happen if he gets in the ring with a real power puncher

I think a very underrated win is his KO against the hard-hitting Alejandro Berrio. very entertainign scrap. http://www.boxnews.com.ua/photos/1296/Lucian-Bute-Berrio.jpg

very talented fighter, good balalnce, speed and head movement, ability to adjust and the best body attack in boxing....in short he is a force to be reckoned with.

bute is an obviously talented guy with the biggest punch by far at smw, he's a tall crafty southpaw. he's beaten b to c- fighters with ease and looked better against those guys than anyone else in his division. his best comp has been wrapped up in a tourney. he hasn't had a chance to fight them. no one knows if he ever will, or if he will ever leave montreal other than to fight in romania. he's no easy out, i think. he's like ward in that he really hasn't been tested by anyone. he almost lost to andrade but then went to florida to train with glenn johnson and hasn't had any stamina issues since then. he admitted that he finally learned how to train there. susceptible to a big shot while throwing as evidenced when he got ktfo in the amateurs. he was supposed to sign to fight kessler next, but kessler said he needed a tuneup first so he's fighting his mandatory. oh and he devastatingly ko's fools to the body and jaw

he has knockout wins over toney and pascal. not too shabby.

hes doing exactly what he needs to do. build a fan base, knock people out, and do it all with a little character. anyone calling him out because of this is just hating on him, because he has yet to show me anything that says he will beat the elite or will be beaten by any of the elite @ super.

He is unproven against the elite of the division but Bika,Andrade and even Miranda are all solid fighters. I'll give you Bika, but andrade and Miranda? They are not terrible, but not the opposition i expect from someone that is considered borderline top10 p4p, and a topfighter in his division. Also, Jean Paul Mendy is a joke.

Overrated until he fights someone elite and still looks good. I almost think he doesn't deserve a shot at the super six winner. He should fight a few of the super six contenders and earn a shot.... ie. beat Kessler, Froch, Dirrell then fight Ward or something similar. It depends on who is doing the rating. Is he the top smw no because he hasnt proved it in the ring but he also is far from a bum like some are trying to make him out to be.

hopkins will take him to school

he might be really good, but hes never fought anybody. Who knows how he will hold up against anyone with a pulse. He is unproven against the elite of the division but Bika,Andrade and even Miranda are all solid fighters.

Isnt this guy a fuking mod? A bum does not beat Bika and destroy Miranda. Is he as good as the guys in the super 6 we still dont know but to call him a bum is just stupid! Very true.. it seems anyone who doesn't have an ATG resume is a bum
