    TBH Ward never went out of his comfort zone like Kessler, Dirrell, Froch, AA and now Bute still the top guy @ 168 I think a fight with Kessler @ Herning would have been different.
    but if he goes on and fights Dawson @ 175 then he should get all the respect for that

      If Ward fought Bute it would have been a far different fight. Nowhere near as emphatic or exciting. Styles make fights.

        This fight shows nothing about Ward. Froch defeated Bute not Ward. Ward flat out ducked Bute when Bute was regarded as the #2 in the division.

        Styles make fights and just because Froch was able to take Bute's bombs and knock him out doesn't mean Ward can do the same.

        This fight just proved that Froch was better than Bute.

          Tonight's fight doesn't really have huge relevance unless you're triangle theorising.
          Lmao @ "assuming hes a clean fighter", I mean do you think every american that has embarassed and exposed one of your hyped bums is on something?

          The list goes on since black and white, Ali,Leonard,Hagler...

          U.S. Boxing>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>U.K.'s, its not even close mate.

            No, it proved that Froch was better than Bute. Who's to say Ward would beat Bute cleanly? We don't know til it happens.

              No. The Super 6 championship proves how good Ward is.

              This proves that Froch is better than a Bute. The jury is still out on how strong a fighter Bute is but its a solid win for froch over an undefeated champion with 9 title defenses.

                Ward is undisputed king of 168 though. Hopefully he can fight Dawson next.
                Definitely looking forward to Ward-Dawson... but I would have certainly liked to have seen Ward-Dirrell.

                  it also proves that ward is un disputed number 1 and that froch is #2. ppl can say ward vs. bute would be a different fight. sure, but has bute done anything to even deserve a fight with ward? has bute done anything that tells us that fight will be competitive?

                  this fight does tell us that bute was overhyped and that hes not the elite fighter anyone thought he was. and with that, it means ward is by far the best smw in the world undisputedly.

                    If Bute was in Super Six he was probably knocked out in couple fights and dropped out of the tournament. Kessler and Froch should do it again. And imo Dawson is the only who could beat Ward

                      yeah I think Bute could only beat Abraham and Taylor he would have lost to the rest
