A 31 year old world champion takes on the toughest test of his career (his words) against a 42 year old with 15 losses.
That says it all both Ward and Froch have faced better opponents (much better in Frochs case) Butes resume is a joke and he has a very suspect chin on top of that.
Froch's record ****s so badly on Bute's. Whilst Froch fights Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell, Kessler, Abraham, Johnson, Bute's fighting Miranda, Magee, that French disgrace to boxing, Brinkley, Andrade and Johnson.
Has Bute been defending the IBF or the IBO title? Because his record suggests the latter. Triangle theories are irrelevant seeing as Froch is going to drag Bute into a fight where he's forced to show whether he's tougher than Froch or not.
Then again the people supporting Bute in this thread are the people who always overrate anything east of France.
Ignoring the fact that Tatevosyan fought on 3 weeks notice it's interesting how you fail to mention that Froch avoided Bute before that fight and decided to fight Tatevosyan who Bute had just beat instead.
The IBF eliminator that Bute fought vs Bika was supposed to be against Froch but he turned it down.

you can't be saved by the bell. so if the ref didn't stop then the count would've been 10. What a gift.
near shut out.... except for being out on his feet for the last minute against a non threat in the division.
Andrade's biggest wins:
Eric Lucas, Vitaliy Tsypko, Lucian Bute 1, Yusaf Mack, Otis Grant
So No.
EDIT: WINNER OF WARD-FROCH IS BEST IN THE DIVISION W/ THE BEST RESUME....
It has nothing to do with being saved by the bell. Bute was on his feet by the count of 6/7...then the ref did all his talking to Andrade stuff. Even had the ref not delayed things Bute was on his feet by 6, the ref would have counted to 8 then restarted the action and there was no time left on the clock, bell rings, round over, Bute wins lopsided decision.
