Will Lucian Bute be the 2nd guy to knock Johnson out?

[Hulk]

Hulk, why do you think dirrell and ward woulf beat up on bute but froch wouldnt?


Is it a styles thing?

SPEED.

They are faster than Bute.

But, Froch is not.

Bute thrives when he is faster than the opponent, I think he would be befuddled by the movement of Ward or Dirrell.

Maybe maybe not


I agree in a way bute might have more success with froch

Personally i think his best chance out of the three would be ward, i think ward is easier to catch than dirrell and not as tough as froch

[Nameless]

After the way he dismantled Johnson yesterday and the way he even sgaggered him on 2 occasions, i am miore than confident that Froch wouldn't win against Bute, rumors are that there is talks with him for his next fight, that would be great and that would probably mean that I'll have a few peoples lines up for an avatar/sig bet *grins*. After that, it'll be probably Ward. At least, that would make sense, I am more afraid of this fight because Ward fights damn dirty and because he has dazzling speed. We'll see, one step at the time but now I am 100% convinced (even though I was still very confident about that before) that Bute will do a number on Froch.

Hulk - I don't think Ward is a particularly fast or athletic fighter and he doesn't win because of his athleticism anyway. Bute and Ward are probably comparable in athleticism. Ward is more highly skilled though. Dirrell might be faster than Bute. When are you going to give Bute any credit? I mean damn man. You disparage the guy after he more thoroughly dominated Johnson than anyone has in a while, since Dawson did on his second try. Just last fight, Johnson lost a mixed decision against Froch whereas against Bute he won only one round on three judge's scorecards. Only one round, mate. I would be naive to say that Bute would definitely beat Ward. It's a close fight. I like Ward's desire to win more and I like his chin more. I like Bute's athleticism and speed more. At the same time, Bute has done better against their common opponents (see Miranda and Bika). I also think Froch and Bute would make for a better fight.
