Would Andre Ward Stop Bute as Quickly as Froch Did?

[FlatLine]

So lets imagine Bute vs Ward happens in the next year, do you think Ward is able to match Froch's performance, will he stop Bute quicker or in the same round as Froch, or does Bute beat Ward?

[Capaedia]

I'd say Ward doesn't have the power to freeze him like Froch did.

I think he'd beat him comfortably by decision.

Ward schools him but has no chance of stopping him

I agree with this.

[-Lowkey-]

Ward is not heavy handed Froch is I don't doubt that Ward could stun him and i think he probably would but I don't think Ward could stop Bute.

I actually think Ward vs Bute would be more competitive with Ward winning a U.D.

[LeG00N]

he wouldn't stop Bute

[Silencers]

Ward by decision. Ward is nowhere near as aggressive or heavy handed as Froch.

[Cutthroat]

Ward UD but I do think he can hurt Bute. Ward has decent power and lands A LOT of very clean hard punches on his opponent, perfectly placed punches. Bute's defense is pretty bad, Ward would be tagging him with an assortment of punches.

Eventually I think Ward could break Bute down and maybe TKO him, especially after what happened to him against Froch. Fighters almost never return to their old form after getting a beat down like that.

[nomadman]

No, of course not. He'd UD him, though if Bute can get some of his quick flurries going he might catch Ward a few times. I don't think it'd be as one sided as the Froch fight, TBH, though I comfortably pick Ward to win.

[Earl-Hickey]

No he has no power at the elite level he couldnt even stop Allen Green for christ sakes and it wasn't for lack of landing on that awful chin of his.
