For a young up and comer Bute has been matched pretty tough. And he is crushing solid guys that give other more recognizable names a much tougher time

I don't see much potential in Litzau.

I think the biggest prospect is Vicente Escobedo, there are 2 amateurs I know also, Stan Martyniouk, who fought Escobedo as a amateur a few years ago, it was a controversial decision in favor of Vicente. Stan was nowhere near the fighter he is today back then.

On one episode of 'In This Corner' from quite a few months ago, Russ went out on a limb and said that Bute was the single best prospect he had seen in all of his years being involved in the sport. Not just the best Canadian prospect he's ever seen...but the best in all of boxing, period.

He obviously thinks the very highest of Lucian and when one checks out a few Bute fights (I've seen him vs. Cruz, Spearman, and Salem...plus a few hilites of other fights), you can see why Russ has so much praise for his future prospects in boxing.

This kid is for real!

I was watching some tape of Curtis Stevens recently, I believe this guy is the real deal. At 20, he is 9-0 (8 KOs), and hes been fighting bigger guys at light heavy. If he gets down in weight, he could be a real force.

Also, I heard an anouncer say he heald the 3rd place spot for most KOs in US amateur boxing history and that he lost to Andre Ward for the spot in the olympics last year.

Curtis was NOT #3 on the all time stoppage list in amateur history, no way. Whoever told you that i slost in termsof USA history and whilehe did lost to Ward (twice) as a amateur it was NOT in the US Olympic trials... Curtis did not make the Trials. In any event, I still think Curtis is a better pro propect than Ward

i saw him fight live November 4th in Oklahoma against Corey Budd and he looked pretty impressive to me. i guess he's fighting pretty soon again i think.
