Lucian Bute is the best Super Middleweight in the world.

[STREET CLEANER]

When he steps up in competition and beats it then it is fact

[jazluvr]

I doubt Bute can beat Ward. If they do ever fight, i will bet heavily on Ward.

Its not even an opinion, its a fact.

There is nobody in the division who can handle that liver shot and upercut.

Kessler dodge him, then Pavlik, now its Dirrell and Quillin.

FFS, bunch of wuss.

you missed the first andrade fight, huh?

The only reason Bute looks good is because he only fights bums.

Bute = Ottke V2

That remains to be seen. We have yet to see Bute in there with elite SMW. Yeah Bute has looked good against guys like Andrade and Miranda but you should wait too see what he looks like against guys like Ward, Froch, and Dirrell before making such claims.

Bute = Ottke V2

Bute=Ottke=Ward.

Stay at home Joe's.

[the niggest]

Bute=Ottke=Ward.

Stay at home Joe's.

The BIG difference between those two and Ward is.

Ward fights GOOD competition.

Kessler
Abraham
And will fight Froch

Bute only fights B-level opposition, which Ottke also used to do.

headbutting kessler to death and picking on a 1 diminesional midget does not = good competition.

Ward still hasn't impressed me at all.

Froch is tested but nothing bute couldn't handle IMO

[Swag Hustla]

Bute has a lot of potential, I'll admit, but that's really it.

We can say whatever we want about him, but I can't give much credit until he starts facing the big boys of the division.

Froch has the best resume hands down and Ward is the most skilled.

I pick Froch to upset Ward, and I can see him or Ward putting a beating on Bute. Just my honest opinion.

[Clint650]

i will agree that his left uppercut is a killer. i was re-watching his fight with Sakio Bika and that was the punch that first made an impression. It took Bute six rounds before he settled down and started working off his jab. Bika is a good common opponent that both Ward and Calzaghe also had a hard time with. possible that Ward had an off night, since both Bute and Calzaghe were able to get off shots from the outside. still Bute remains an interesting fight for both Ward and Froch.
