    Froch's fought everybody, Bute's fought nobody. Bute does look class though. Should be a great fight.

      Come on man, that's silly. Bute has a respectable resume. It just pales in comparison to Froch's.

        I disagree if Bute was younger his resume would be respectable the fact that he's a 32 year old who has been champion for a number of years and his best win is against a 43 year old journeyman his resume is inexcusably bad.

          Agree with that, thats why he has to take this fight and prove if he has the tools to mix it with the 168 top rated fighters.

                Close competitive fight that can go either way and will have some calling robbery.... Froch edges it because of location.... Which will help him as far as motivation and on the cards

                  I don't understand why so many people are excited. Froch is coming of a lopsided loss, I don't see it as a huge fight, just a good test for Bute. He'll probably stop Froch in 8-10 rds.

                    I pick Bute by KO or one sided decision. Froch has a good chin but I wouldn't call it granite. Taylor hurt him badly and Bute punches harder than Taylor and finishes better than Taylor. It should be a great fight.

                      The Cobra by KO in the 8th.
