Andre Ward is top 10 P4P... But not Bute or Froch?

[coreyg100]

I have to admit. Ward puts on a very slow fight. Now Lucian Bute and Mikkel Kessler are my favorite Super Middleweights. I know Kessler lost to Ward so that puts him top 17-20 in my eyes. But Lucian Bute? He has held his belt for Years fought well and entertaining fights and wins by KO a lot. Also, Carl Froch is a great fighter too. Equal To Ward in my eyes..

Bute Vs. Ward?
Froch Vs Ward?
Kessler Vs. Johnson?

It's because Ward is an American.



God bless America!

Because Bute hasnt fought anyone.

I agree Froch should be in somewhere behind Ward.

[IronDanHamza]

Froch? Yes.

Bute? No.

You can make a case for Froch being top 10 material (although I disagree) but not for that bum fighting, hasn't-fought-a-guy-with-a-pulse Lucy Boot-ay.

[bojangles1987]

Bute isn't top 20 p4p.

Froch should be in there though, maybe even ahead of Ward.

[Trigg]

Ward deserves his place

Froch also deserves to be in there

Bute? Magee was KO'd by Froch 5 YEARS AGO. Brinkley was ****e on The Contender, it took Bute 9 rounds to finish him, he was then wiped out in 3 rounds one fight later by Quillin, a prospect. Those were his last two opponents. P4P?

[ИATAS]

Bootay doesn't belong anywhere near the top ten, not till he fights someone.

Froch can certainly be mentioned in the top 10, I really have no problem with him being anywhere from 5-10 based on his resume alone.

Lucian Bute

Given that Ward is ranked #9, that means Froch would have to be ranked #10 in order to get in. That would displace Hopkins. Froch vs. Hopkins right now is a hard one to call and you could argue for either, but I don't see how anyone could claim that Hopkins being #10 is a travesty. And if you accept that including Hopkins is reasonable then by definition, you must accept that excluding Froch is reasonable.

In any case, Froch vs. Ward is coming up soon, which will resolve who is better; so getting wound up about their relative rankings now is silly.
