    2. Carl Froch, Ok his last win was lucky but he's beaten three excellent fighters in a row in Jean Pascal, Jermain Taylor and Andre Dirrell. Pascal is a current world champ, Taylor a former undisputed, can someone point me to all the current world champs Bute has beaten? I think 0.

    3. Lucian Bute, this is where he rightly belongs

    4. Mikkel Kessler, disappointing loss to Ward, hope he can bounce back.

    5. Artur Abraham, gatecrashed the division in style with his ko of Jermain Taylor last time out.
    Berrio is the only one i can think of that Bute has beat.
    He's beaten Kabary Salem the man who dropepd Joe Calzaghe heavily, Lucian Bute is the only one to have ever stopped him. Sakio Bika a fighter who gave Joe Calzaghe all he could handle.

    Lucian Bute also beat Sakio Bika easier than anyone else has. Lolenga Mock a fighter who dropped David Haye at Cruiserweight, Donny McCrary, Dingaan Thobela, Alejandro Berrio, William Joppy, Librado Andrade x2, Fulgencio Zuniga.

    He's beaten some solid opposition, not the greatest but thats not a bad list at all. Im not saying he deserves the number 1 spot, but he has some underrated wins.

    As for Bilbo hold on a minute, wern't you the one agreeing with me before that Lucian Bute did indeed beat the Librado Andrade legitmately ?

    This was posted by you Bilbo, i can't find your other comments. But i know you agreed with me, i think its just because people are jumping on the Lucian Bute bandwagon, like with Nonito Donaire that you don't like that fighters get overrated so quickly. But people like me have known about Lucian Bute for ages, i can show you a thread from ages ago before the Alejandro Berrio fight.

    Bilbo

    I agree with you pretty much Ice. It would have been a robbery just to wave Bute off and call of the fight after he had it completely in the bag like that.

    Andrade left his assualt too late imo. He should have got busy earlier and as for the long count, I guess if Andrade had been in the nuetral corner where he was supposed to be the ref wouldn't have sent him back there.

    It may have been a bit pedantic from the ref but you can clearly see how when he's giving Bute the count he catches sight of Andrade in his peripheral vision and tells him to go back.

    It may have been over the top but if he thought Andrade was making his way to the center of the ring he had to stop him.

    And it's easy for us to judge but in the heat of the moment it all happens so fast and the ref isn't a machine incapable of making mistakes.
