Take out Alan Green and any other members of the Super 6 would give Bute problems. I would have it Ward>Froch>Kessler>Bute>Dirrell>AA>Johnson. The Super 6 gave us what Bute couldnt yet Significant fights.

AA would give no world class SMW any trouble, Andrade would handle him easily.

AA was looking like a beast pre Dirrell and Froch. I honestly would favor AA in that match considering Andrade is a come straight forward kind of fighter with no real slick style. Any world class SMW with movement beats AA I just dont believe Andrade is that type of boxer.

Look at his comp pre Dirrell and Froch........shot Taylor, Miranda, and.....???

The guy is a club fighter with a good punch, he doesn't throw enough to beat Andrade who has a fantastic chin, who has taken and resisted shots against much more proven 168ers than AA.

I was reading the Ring magazine and in their top 100 they have Lucian Bute at 17. I have no problem with that but the writer goes on to say that "It's hard to have a better year then Bute had.His wins over Librado Andrade(KO 4)
Edison Miranda(ko3) and Jesse Brinkley(ko9) were as good as anything anyone did in the super six tourney"...........Do you agree with this?

Bute is the real deal. I would back him heavily to beat anyone at 168 not called Andre Ward, and that fight i'd have a toss-up.

He has speed, good footwork, brains and power. What more do you need to see and know before you know he is real? He throws a great right hook (essential for any southpaw looking to go anywhere in their boxing career). He throws a great straight left, left upper etc. His feet are in the right place. Look at where he is when he throws that shot to the liver.....his lead foot is way outside the opponents and his whole body is on the other side.

And more importantly he thinks and learns. Check out the Andrade rematch.
