Lucian Bute >>> Andre Ward

[krispy kreme]

Bute beat Andrade and Miranda, now he is the best 168 pounder in the world?

What a joke, but I don't expect anything less from the TS.

Bute is a very good fighter though, and he should have been in this tournament, but he is with HBO...

Ward is an unwatchable boring cheater and a disgrace to boxing. He should be disqualified for excessive clinching.

Lucian Bute is the best super middleweight in the world.

i'd rather watch bute than ward

[sicko]

Ward would take away his power and kill him inside, I like Lucian A LOT but he is being extremely overrated right now by some fans who are just now jumping on the bandwagon

Ward will eat body shots trying to get inside and Bute's footwork along with Wards is the best at 168.

really??? then u must not have seen hopkins fight when he was younger then.

The mauling tactics resemble Hopkins a hell of a lot more than they do Leonard.

[johncods]

Not sure about that but he is definitely more exciting..

[TheGreatA]

Being more exciting doesn't necessarily mean you're better. I think we would have learned that at this point. Ward is a bag of tricks and will be a problem for anybody at 168, including Bute. Bute looked impressive against Andrade, Miranda and Zuniga, but all of those fighters bring their face to get punched at. My approach on him is to wait and see, how he does against top class opposition that is.

I do think that Ward's lack of significant punching power will eventually put him in a difficult situation. He really has to dominate his fights to win, and to his credit he has done exactly that so far.

Here is what a Wlad fight looks like:

Round 1: Wlad Jabs, opponent tries to get inside so Wlad just puts his body on him.
Round2: repeat of round 1
Round 3: repeat of round 2
R4: repeat of round 3
R5:Repeat of round 4
R6:Repeat of round 5
R7:Repeat of round 6
R8 Repeat of round 7
R9:Repeat of round 8
R10: Wlad throws either a right hand or a left hook, fight over.

Yeah, watching Wlad fighting in the weakest HW division ever against a bunch of short, out of shape fat asses while he jabs for 10 rounds is ****en exhilarating .

he wins doesn't he.. why should he change his style......
