Comments Thread For: Bute: I Was Never The Same Boxer After The Fight With Carl Froch

[ArturoBalboa]

The ferocious intensity of Froch, as he’s hunched over, beating himself off while reading this article.

Groves went on to win a belt, Kessler beat Froch in their 1st fight and the 2nd fight was not a beatdown, I don't even know why you brought up Yusef Mack and Taylor was never the same since the Pavlik fights.

Yeah spot on with all those. Groves had a dip after froch fights mainly due to working with paddy flip flops Fitzpatrick, that Calum smith fight would have been problematic for him at any stage of his career.
Pavlik did indeed take something away from Taylor.
Kessler, if anything, was in slight decline before froch rematch rather than that being the cause.
And yusef Mack?? I just had to laugh at that one.

ward didnt fight him because ward was scared. stop the BS. it was a career high payday against the #1 guy in the division. there is no excuse not to take that fight. ward tried to fight a shot pavlik and dmitri sartison but he couldn't fight bute? please. bute wasnt even invited to the super six anyway so that argument makes no sense.

That’s right
Bute was not invited to the super six and then was told that he would be the first to get the call if anybody got injured or wtv
Ward tip toed around Bute
Really no reason he couldn’t of taken that fight

No, Crawford is proven and avoided at welterweight( bute stood and traded with froch and paid the price)....however porter is a top class welterweight, just Crawford wouldn't play to porters strength like bute did with froch

Crawford isn’t proven at Welterweight and nobody is avoiding him. Bob Arum needs to stop being cheap and pay somebody with a pulse to fight Bud.

Yeah I like Carl Froch but the only person he really beat up like that was Bute he was losing the Taylor fight to me until he got that KO which was a good one clean and fair and same with the first Groves fight so they were not really beatdowns.

That was a terrific day to be a Froch fan. I actually picked him by KO but I didn't think he'd win like that. Epic stoppage.
