That's why this super six is so great. Talk all you want about Dirrell being a puss he's been put through the wringer, he is far far more tested than Bute and should probably be ranked higher at 168 considering he's beat two champs in a row.
I don't think Dirrell's a puss... I tend to like the way Dirrell fights unless he's on his bike. I have no issue with solid strategic lateral movement but when you start running it's ridiculous. He did not run against Abraham, but Abraham didn't start testing him until the middle of the fight on. Dirrell held up well, though and he got more credit for that win than I'd ever given him.

Bute is a crafty guy that's hard to hit and is a southpaw with power. Bute would have to fight tooth and nail to beat either Ward or Dirrell. I don't know if he could beat Ward but he I think he could grind out a close decision against Dirrell. Bute is more judge friendly.

Bute could beat Frock, Kessler, Taylor and Green. I have no doubt.
