Lucian Bute - Future Great?

[The Shadow]

Ok, Ok. Before everyone starts jumping all over me here and stating the obvious, I was just a bit curious to gather some opinions.

Bute dissected Miranda with ease. Given, Miranda doesn't have much of chin. But I think most would have went down for the long count after that uppercut.

Bute seems to have all the skills to become a dominant force in the weight division: He has power in both hands, he's got decent speed, works the body as well as he works the head, has that awkward, southpaw style, etc.

I'm just curious to see how he reacts to the best of the division. At this point, it's just to early to say. His resume certainly doesn't read like a boxer that has been in the best, but he's had decent competition, and thoroughly beat that competition. Well, with the exception of the first fight with Andrade, in which he got a long count in the final round.

Anyway, just curious to get some opinions on this guy.

LMAO

Bute has about as much chance as being a hall of famer as Big H has at beating me

the second he gets in with any of the super 6 he`ll become the whore of the super middleweights

Don't know. The last three fights I've seen have shown someone with a lot of promise. I think it's premature to discount him at this point in time. However, he hasn't had much competition and has been insulated. It remains to be seen. The boy does have skills.

He has the potential to be the best SMW in the game. He needs to fights the winner of the Super 6 to prove it, but I think he has the skills to dominate a very deep division. I think Dirrell and Ward would give him some trouble, but I think he'd handle everyone else in the Super 6. If he had been included, he would have been my pick to win it all.

As usual, HTH doesn't know shit.

Yes he will beat everyone in the Super Six, the Andre Ward fight is 50/50. But against the rest he's the favorite IMO.

I really don't know H.T.H. However, in light of the fact that he appears to be more interested in homo-eroticism than the sport of boxing, I'll tentatively agree.
