    Which fighters at 168 would beat Bute?

    After tonight's fight, I see several fighters at 168 giving Bute problems.

    His speed and accuracy impressed me, but he leaves his right arm at his waist with his chin sticking way out, without much in the way of head movement and cannot fight on the inside.

    Vote and discuss.

    Mikkel and Jermain are the only ones I can see beating him.

      Right now I'd definitely pick Kessler over him, I'm picking Taylor over him but it's not definite yet until I see him at 168, which will be soon. I think Dirrell can beat him in a couple of years if he keeps improving.

        If he can stay away from Miranda he will win an easy fight, but all it takes is one big right hand from Miranda.

          Froch would knock Bute into the cheap seats within 5 rounds. Kessler would whip his ass and KO him late. Jermain would beat him as long as he throws enough and doesn't have stamina problems himself.

            Froch ain't knocking Bute out. Bute will easily counter Froch and land with some big shots for the KO. Keep in mind, Froch has no defense.

            I can't stand Froch, I'm sorry. He needs to step up, fight Miranda, Bute, Kessler, Taylor. He loses to all of them.

                I picked Carl over Bute. I think Carl goes after him early, with more success than Andrade had, and his power gives Bute all sorts of problems.

                I also picked Taylor, Kessler, and Dirrell (faster than Bute, longer reach, good power). I also ended up voting for Mundine but that was 50/50... if he respects Bute's power enough to keep his chin out of the way, I think he wins by close decision.

                  Did you notice Bute's defense? Yeah, me either. He had the EXACT same stance as Froch - lead hand by his waist, power hand below his jaw. Bute may have the edge in speed, but Froch's likely got more power and after seeing what Andrade did he would be smothering Bute from the opening bell.

                    Yes, he will smother him. Bute will just stand there and do nothing, he won't try to counter or nothing.

                    I hope to God that fight happens so I can laugh at the the Froch fans (if he has any).
