Yeah maybe I have not seen enough of Rigondeaux to know.

Either Bute or Rigondeaux.

He's making a case for himself but like Miguel Cotto he can just be a good body puncher against lesser opponents and be non existent against better fighters.

Example: against Mosley, Margarito, Clottey and Pacquiao, it was almost like he wasn't even known as a body puncher more like a head hunter. But against Quintana, Judah, Gomez, Jennings, Foreman, the body punches were all there, he beat those guys with body punches.

So Bute so far looks like a monster body puncher against guys like Andrade and Magee but can he do it to guys like Kessler, Ward, Froch, and Dirrell?

Bute is up there. Here are some of the best body punchers,

Rigondeaux
Caballero
Floyd Mayweather
Timothy Bradley
Martin Honorio, although not well known is a good body puncher.

Who else am I missing?

Yeah good point we will see. I personally do not think he will be able to land many body shots at all on Andre Ward because of Ward's speed.
