losing a close fight to the worst version of Carl Froch i have ever seen, fighting like a damn ape, forgetting what a jab was and just generally being an idiot
beating Arthur Abraham pretty bad, but looking like he could get stopped late, and faking out of it, Abraham was then proven to be utter garbage, making Carl Froch look like prime Ali in losing a 12 round schooling
Dirrel's heart is under question, Bute's chin is a c at best. Dirrel is quick and has decent skill to deal with Bute but Bute has the power advantage. Close call. Either Dirrell wins on point or Bute has enough power to hurt and stop Dirrell.

I'm going for Bute too. Bute gets **** on for being KTFO by Froch, but he's not going to get into that situation Froch but him in, as Dirrell does not have a solid chin, nor is he a come forward fighter.
Bute has skills, it's a shame he has this rep of being a terrible boxer. Sure he was overrated as being the best at 168, but theres no evidence (apart from Kessler) to suggest he's any lower than no.3 as it currently stands.... he is a good fighter

Reason: fair points made
i did not watch Dirrell's last fight (against a limited opponent). without an idea of where he's at, it's impossible for me to give an opinion on how these two would match up at this point in time.
what i can say about Dirrell is that he appears to be a mental-midget.

i have to question your sentiments, given that any argument for Froch winning that fight has to be based on his jab (this would be mine).

Guess you didn't see Bute's last outing against a 12 fight Grachev then.
