Just watched Bute vs Mendy, dear god this dude is overated.

[Dedication]

Up until the KO, Mendy was tagging him at will.
I can only wonder what would have happened if that was Ward or Froch in there. Why is it he's so content on fighting Pavlik? What about Dirrell, this name, hasn't been uttered from the guys lips? I thought Calzaghe had left boxing for good, sad to see he's reincarnated.

He wasn't invited to the Super Six because they only wanted Euros and Americans and he was seen as a Canadian fighting out of Quebec (though he is from Romania originally).

Bute is now signed to Showtime and will be fighting the winner of the Super Six, so what is the problem?

Bute is a boxer-puncher which neither Ward nor Froch is. He's the best body puncher in boxing.

I can't believe he's high on some overall top P4P lists. Facing soft competition in a loaded division. Can't wait to place a bet against him when he fights someone tough. I'm not sure Pavlik is that guy.. Sounds like him attempting to take another easy look.

Overrated isn't even the word.

Based on resume, he should be below Froch and Ward on every P4P list.

He can sell out an arena against Jean Paul Mendy.. Don't expect him to change the formula anytime soon. Secondly, imo he should not be able to fight the winner of the Super 6 immediately. He should have to defeat someone else(preferably the second place finisher) from the tournament to earn the fight.

i agree with that 100%!

Ever since the Andrade scare, he has been regressing in competition.

Here and there, he uses names of fighters who are now semi-shot, like Miranda.

Maybe some day, this guy will be tabbed as one of the all-time best in the 168 division, after out-milking every top fighter with that IBF title.

How many title defenses does he have now?

That does not change the fact he is not speaking a word of Dirrell or Johnson who are both free right now..Bute I would not call him overrated but there are a bit of smoking mirrors with that guy..Froch and or Ward bury him...
