Who is the best super middleweight right now?

[Sweet Jesus]

That's it?

Yes. Who's your #1?

[Jim Jeffries]

Steelhammer2010 is your alt. Maybe even jim jeffries too.

Have you always been this ******ed?

[PittyPat]

Yes.

Well, I'll just have to wait for more Ward fans to give their answer. I'm looking for more specifics, style-wise, rather than resume.

I already elaborated a few pages ago that it was Bute. I gave specific reasons, too.

What are you more impressed by, Bute's KO power or his ring work?

[Jim Jeffries]

Kessler has more class than Bute's 26 opponents combined.

Not sure what that has to do with my post, but Bute knocked out Kessler's best win and after that a guy Kessler wanted no part of.

[Sweet Jesus]

Hell yes, the U.S. is running this poll.

Both! Initially I paid no attention to his power, choosing instead to concentrate more on his silky skills and carefully-placed footwork. IMO he's a very flashy fighter and that serves to distract an opponent from his deceptively dangerous one-punch KO power. Only after he laid out Andrade did I begin to realise "Wait a minute... this guy can fucking crack like a mofo!"

This, right here, is what draws me more towards Bute than anyone else at 168. Ward has flashy skills and fast hands, as does Dirrell, but Bute is the one with brutal KO power combined with flashy skills and a totally awkward style. I'd go so far as to say he could beat anyone in the division.

And at one point, Andrade was considered to have one of the absolute most solid and unbreakable chins in the sport until Bute came along and cracked that chin like it was glass - which it really wasn't. It's all in the power and delivery. Those upperhooks come from weird-ass angles, with lightning speed.

Bute, Miranda gave Ward more than he wanted in there while Bute wasted him in under 4 rds.

Andre Ward!!!
