When bute was plying his trade, ward and froch were at the top of the 168 pile. With GGG he's the mountain everyone else has to try and climb.
GGG's title reign is similiar to Lucian Bute

GGG hasn't had an Andrade. Andrade got robbed of a KO over Bute and Andrade had previously been whitewashed 12-0 by another champion from Bute's division.Bute was wrecking alot of low-level guys, much the same as GGG has. They both were undefeated without having beat anyone special (until Bute fought Froch). That's how they're similar.
Now, it's entirely fair to think that GGG is a better fighter than Bute. I think GGG is far better than Bute, even though he hasn't proven it against a good fighter, I still see enough in him to say that. But, that's not what the OP is saying and in respect to what he's saying, there are some parallels.
So GGG clearly is above Bute although I do agree on other parts of your post.Comment
