    Lucian Bute

    Just wondering what the general feeling is on this guy.How good is he? I've not seen a great deal of him just afew bits posted on youtube.Of what i saw he looks like a good solid fighter with power,he picks his punches well and looks big at the weight.
    Could Bute be a dangerous fight for Kessler or Calzaghe?And how would Froch do against him?

    he's flat footed though he punches well. he's not going to get very far. reminds me of a leonard dorin. calzaghe would eat him up. Joachim Alcine poses more a threat as would Jean Pascal later on.

      His a good fighter, but just did a ***** move by instead taking the easier route of fighting for the IBF title eliminator against Bika.

        Bute is quite good. I saw the fight against Tatevosyan and he had things his own way against a smaller guy though. He went 12 rounds. Froch has just stopped Tatevosyan in 2.

        Bute is taking on Sakio Bika next I think and if he wins that, then he's in line for some kind of title fight I guess. Bika is a rough handful and durable, so Bute's in line to go rounds there again.

        Bute's OK, but I ain't gonna go mad and say he's great yet.

          He is swerving Froch. And after Tatyvosyan he will be ****ting Himself.

              Bute can go all the way. He's already a threat to both Calzaghe and Kessler. Perhaps no t a BIG threat yet. But he will be.

              Bute is allready a far greater threat to the top guys than Froch - despite being 4-5 years younger.

                  Cheers for the replys.
                  The Bika fight should be interesting.After seeing him against Calzaghe i dont see anyone having an easy night with him.

                    I follow Bute's career since his beginning, he's the number 3 on my super middleweight list, after Kessler and Calzaghe.

                    There is a rumor that Bute has a weak chin, he was knocked out cold in the amateurs.

                    Froch faced better opposition than him, but Bute was always perfect in all his fights, while Froch looked bad on a few occasions. Froch/Bute would be a good fight that could go either way:

                    Better hand speed : Bute
                    Power : Froch
                    Better combo : Bute
                    Best chin : Froch
                    Footwork : Bute
                    Better power punches : Froch
                    Better jab : Bute

                    But I don't think we will see it soon, both of them will have access to a title shot pretty soon and don't wanna risk it.
