Lucian bute already forgotten ?

[#1Assassin]

when someone gets knocked out his stock drops and when someone hasnt either boxed recently or has a fight coming up in the near future they dont get talked about as much as the fighters who do. whats strange about that? once bute comes out of the shadows and fights again he will be back in the conversation. he still has a large fanbase.

I feel the same thing is happening to Pac to some extent.

There used to be a lot of talk surrounding this cat, but after froch demolished him he seems to have lost pretty much all the support he had.

What do you think ?

I think that there is a large group of Bute fans who used to run around talking smack and making outlandish claims aboot all the ATGs he would KO and that he would be on every box of Rice Crispies and selling deodorant on tv if he was American.

But now that reality has been harshly visited upon them (thanks Carl), they realize how silly they looked and most of them are now in love with ?.

But they are still here.

When Bute takes a warm-up-get-ur-confidence-back fight against some can and comes away with the KO, we'll see a flood of "new members" with 5 posts and a gazillion e-bucks posting pages of drivel. If Bute is smart and takes a few fights before rematching Froch or blows Froch off altogether, the wave of "new members" will recede and Bute will again enjoy vociferous support from numerous senior members.

Lucian bute is a BUM. Its that simple not hateing the truth is the truth whether you like it or not. He step up in class and got his crap push in THE END

[KnockUTheFukOut]

His fans can't show their faces, they will hide until he gets an impressive win, this is what happens when your a ARROGANT FAN and you hype a guy so much and you disrespect everybody else in his Division

I remember when David Lemieux was getting a lot of hype on this forum as well...what ever happened to those fans as well

When you get HYPED UP and you don't live up to expectations when you step up the Competition then YEAH you will become Forgotten QUICKLY!

Bute has a nice skill set and is a dangerous body puncher,it is like he just froze up in that fight.hopefully he learned from it and will return wiser.

It happens with all fighters who are not as good as the fans expected.
It also happened with Abraham for example, but i will always support Abraham!
Bute BTW is no bum because he lost to Froch, hes a good boxer and he has power. I was never a big Fan of Bute but maybe Froch is just some kind of ******nite to him. What i hate most is the "i told you so" people if a fighter gets "exposed".
