Comments Thread For: Lucian Bute: I'm Better, Stronger, Faster Than Carl Froch!

[BattlingNelson]

Bute says:

“I am the better fighter. I am stronger, have more speed and agility and I have good movement.

“I always believe that the fighter with more speed has the advantage and I honestly believe I have the advantage in this fight.”

...which can only mean that he thinks he'd lose to Andre Ward.

[-Lowkey-]

Froch hit Ward flush dirtily after the bell rang in one round in thier fight and it didn't put a dent on Wards face. I reiterate Froch has good not great power. Ward even said Bika and I quote "is his toughest fight to this date". The reason why has a lot to do with the power Bika has.

Who would know better YOU the armchair fan or Ward?

It wasn't Bikas power that made it a tough fight for Ward it was more his style.

By your logic Bika hits harder than Kessler and AA as well.

Froch tends to wear guys down from an accumulation of shots. But if you put those sort of guys Bika's knocked out against Froch he'd do the same thing & often did earlier in his career.

Froch has the power to rock, drop & K.O elite level fighters, Bika doesn't and never has IMO

Not implying Bika can't crack but I think Froch hits quite a bit harder personally & when Glen Johnson says you hit hard it stands for something.

Never said Bika's power was the only reason the fight was tough-it's a factor you can't count out. Ward was not deterred by Froch so-called Power, power, power talk (he even laughed it off to Virgil in the corner) and roughed him. Funny enough he's kept that power, power power talk to the background in this fight and has started this new location, location, location nonsense.

Why does it always have to get personal by calling people armchair fans & such? I could be anybody for all you know.

You think the reason was to do with Bika's power, but I am entitled to my own opinion & did see that fight and would say it wasn't so much his power but his awkward style & ruggedness. Bika is wild and makes just about everybody look bad.
It was a scrappy fight with both using forearms, clinching, headbutts etc (Mainly Bika trying to make it a dog fight which he did)

Bika made Ward fight his style of fight which just shows how versatile Ward is IMO

I don't care if you box for fun you're still an armchair fan compared to Ward.

Next you'll be telling us how Froch has better one punch K.O power than Golovkin!

Golovkin is a middleweight who hasn't fought anybody of note...

Bute v Froch

Bute is better in almost every way! better punch power, timing, accuracy, variety, speed, punch anticipation, defense, movement, ring generalship maybe froch can take a shot better and has better stamina but you need more that that to stay at the top, thats why he has lost when it really counts and he has been gifted titles and not won them from champs. froch is a limited fighter who knows he is lucky to be getting these fights consistently and is taking them before the opportunities dry up....will be the same froch " it wasn't my night tonight but give me the rematch and i will destroy him, honest" just like after the ward fight. he is deluded if he thinks he is gonna be an all time great like ali!!! always makes me laugh especially when he said the ward fight was very very close also how can muppets call ppl they have never met armchair fans?????

This is complete nonsense, Carl won the WBC after beating undefeated Pascal in one of the fights of the year the title may have been vacant but to say he was gifted a title by beating a solid previously unbeaten opponent is ridiculous.

Carl has earned the top fights he keeps getting to say otherwise is a joke, yes Carl isn't the most skilled fighter in the world and people can say he has overachieved for his ability but at the end of the day he has had the toughest run of opponents in boxing today that deserves credit.

You would be hard pushed to name a fighter who works harder Froch hasn't been given anything on a silver platter.

Bute does have all the advantages I just hope he doesn't get to counter punch happy looking for land one big shot at a time he needs to let his hands go punches in bunches
