Comments Thread For: Bute Already Starts Camp For DeGale Title Clash

[BattlingNelson]

We know. DeGale was supposed to fight Ward, right?

I wish you would impose even a fraction of these standards onto the fighters you support.

Who did Bute fight to qualify for a titleshot?

What does that even mean? "Qualify" for a title shot? Lol....he's not the mandatory challenger.

[Hougigo]

Well... guess this is his last fight before he retires. Should've had more confidence builders like his last one before the year ends because lord knows he needs it.

I'm kinda surprised to hear there's an issue with Bute as an opponent. It's a solid first defense. More than solid even.

Hilariously most of them are Golovkin fans. The guy who made his first title defence against Nilson Julio Tapia.....yeah I know, who?

They're the most hypocritical bunch of morons I've ever seen.

Not a great fight but looking at the division he's probably 10th in the division in my view.

Ward has beaten Smith above the weight, AA has had Smith again and Steiglitz again, Jack has had the lesser Dirrell and Groves. So DeGale's year of beating the better Dirrell and then Bute stack up well against all of those. DeGale and Jack have had impressive years overall.

As an opponent the two things in Bute's favour are that he has only lost twice and he has power. So it's a lot more interesting than when they keep reusing guys like Judah and Malignaggi.

Location. It's likely to be in his backyard.

Says the Golovkin fan

Nothing to see here.

I'm not hating on the guy though. I'm just waiting to see him fight some of his more leveled contemporaries who aren't shot.

And GGG > Degale, obviously.

Andre Dirrell is better than anyone on Golovkin's resume. So is Bute for that matter.

2 world title fights and he's already ****ing on Golovkin's entire 5 year reign as champion
