I've been saying this for atleast a year and a half, i was very impressed how he dealt with Kabary Salem. Who KD Joe Calzaghe heavily and gave Joe Calzaghe 12 tough/awkward rounds. Lucian Bute was the first man to ever stop Kabary Salem.

I was also impressed how he beat Sakio Bika convincingly, much more convincingly than Joe Calzaghe. And also considering no one has ever beaten Sakio Bika easily i think that was very good win for Lucian Bute.

I honestly think he is very skilled and could be the best Super Middleweight, in the world today. The only fighter who can really challenge Lucian Bute at Super Middleweight, is Mikkel Kessler, Jermain Taylor, IMO.
