I think Bute probably could stop him, but hearing how much these two have sparred I have a gut feeling he might just be happy going through the motions to some extent. I don't really hope I'm wrong either as I really like Johnson and don't want to see him take a beating. In any event I don't think Johnson has much chance to win and really wont take much interest in Bute until he fights more of a live threat. Ward, Pascal, Froch or Kessler would all be great opponents for him with a much better shot to win.
