    I watched the fight on boxnation n the commentator kept on saying he is thee best in the world at 168 n he would have 2 much 4 both froch n ward. He also said the fact he had 19000 fans against Johnson n froch had 4000 showed he was a bigger star, but if froch/Johnson was in nottingham then he could of done 20000

      That isn't fair is it really, it was Johnson's last fight before Bute and maybe Bute just made him look so bad because of his power and other physical advantages. Regardless of why he shut out or nearly did while Froch was in a competitive fight with Glen.

      I forgot about Magee because well, he is not very good or a relevant fighter but Ward in a competitive fight regardless of the official scoring against Bika and Bute easily UD'd him before Ward fought him

        I just wish he would fight Kessler so people could see what he's about

          I've only seen him once, against Johnson and was NOT impressed. I don't think I'll see another fight of his unless he is on the under card of a good fight. In which case maybe it'll be on but I wont be paying too much attention.

            I thought he boxed great against Glen Johnson, looked very classy.

              I honestly think Dirrell is more talented. In fact, hes probably the most talented at 168.

              Except James DeGale of course.

                He could be the best. But his resume is lacking compared to Ward and Froch.

                  You have a point,maybe I'm not use to seeing Johnson get beat up so bad(lol)..But you have to admit Johnson did look flat,but like you said maybe Bute did just have the power to make Johnson look so bad..Your right as well Bute dominated Bika,an most don't like to admit it but Ward was in a tough fight with Bika...

                    Yh I wasn't overly impressed and I only caught the fight late on. Was almost like there was way too much respect being shown between both fighters & they was really hesitant.

                      Were talking about fighters fighting,damn the drawing power and money..Jeez you getting a cut of it??So tired of everything going back to how many people came out or how many PPV were sold..Some of the best fights to be seen are not the big fights,which fight was better,Froch Johnson or Bute Johnson??You say it was 4000 people??Well it was 4000 pleased fans,unlike the 19000 that left disappointed at the boring crap they had to watch last sat..
