The official Kessler Froch Scorecards..

[ICB]

He never was number 1 mate. Rightly or wrongly Bute is number 1 which is a joke with his resume.

Not really overall he has the best resume, except for maybe Mikkel Kessler. But at that time he had just lost to Andre Ward in one sided fashion.

Hown exactly? His best win is against an average fighter who Kessler beat up 4 years ago, Bute has no big names on his resume, Ward is number one he beat the previous number one Kessler Bute has beat decent contenders that is all. He is not number one imo. He is now number three for me.

Andre Ward has one big win and thats it, outside of that who has he beaten ? Edison Miranda over 12 rounds ? who Lucian Bute destroyed in 3 ?

Compare the records.

Lucian Bute

Kabary Salem
Fulgencio Zuniga
Librado Andrade x2
Edison Miranda
Sakio Bika
William Joppy
Lolenga Mock
Alejandro Berrio

Are all solid fighters, you also have to take into account. The way he's destroyed the opposition, fighters like Fulgencio Zuniga, Kabary Salem, Librado Andrade. Had rock solid chins and had never been stopped.

He's also been a world champion since 2007.

Mate Kessler was number 1 before the Ward fight Ward beat him up he is now number 1 in my eyes that win over Kessler is way better than anything Bute has done like I said Bute's best win was against a guy who was ranked 7/8 and who Kessler totally schooled 4 years ago.

Kessler just beat Froch as well so that adds to Ward's credentials imo, Froch has a better resume than Bute as well, all them names you have put up are average contenders in reality.

1. Ward
2. Kessler
3. Bute
4. Froch
5. Dirrell

That is my top 5.
