Lucian bute vs Carl froch

[Master]

Whilst I have not watched a lot of Bute, Froch has the right hand power to hurt Bute and beat him. Froch cannot beat Andre Ward.

Froch definately has a big chance of winning this one, especially in the late rounds by ko, but I think this would look something like Froch vs Taylor, only Bute would get the job done in the middle rounds.

Froch wouldn't be able to win on points though, agreed.

Hmm were you thinking about Bute-Andrade I when you made that statement? If that's the case I just wanna say that one of Bute's strongest asset is his ability to raise his boxing level as the fight progress. The 12th round of Bute-Andrade I was a mistake that won't happen again. He always tried to make a show in the 12th round before that fight.

Bute is not a small 168. The truth is that right now, he's the best at 168. If he was an american fighting out of vegas, no one would argue on that. Just wait and you'll see. You guys always come up with the 1st Andrade fight, no one seems to remember that he k.o him the second time. Also, he did better against Miranda than any 168 in the super-six (Ward or Abraham). You might think that he's not better that Ward, that's fine with me, but don't say that he faced anyone, that's not true.

froch would wap him

bute wouldnt last the 12 and if by some amazingness he did he it would be more one sided than the froch AA fight

bute is the most over rated fighter in world boxing currently

apart from martinez, who is a fantastic fighter but people seem to have him at number 3 lb for lb for being 1-1 with paul williams

I can understand the skeptic part on Bute but Martinez?.....Dude I have to say I am starting to favor the rest of those here who say you are a wind up artist....Martinez is certainly #3 P4P in the world right now....In truth I don't think either Manny or PBF could beat him.....They have longer winning streaks against top opp that makes them above him on the ratings list......Your a short timer for sure

i dont doubt he is a fantastic fighter, looks really good

but what makes him number 3?

he is 1-1 with paul williams recently, wouldnt that put williams right up there too?

look at frochs recent record, he has had a tougher time than martinez

thing is dude, i am objective, i dont let my love or hate for a fighter cloud my views, ok i tend to side with the brit first

so someone is upset about a fighter, haye or froch or hatton or whoever, and they shout about how crap they are, when they obviously arent crap, and i just put them straight

Martinez is rightfully number 3 p4p in the world and if he dominates Dzinziruk, he makes a case as the #2 p4p in the world because of Floyd's inactivity. In his last four fights, he's faced Wiliams, Cintron, Pavlik, and Williams. He knocked Cintron out and the punch was so fast that no one in the ring, including the ref, saw it knock him. He lost to Williams, another top ten p4p fighter, and then went up in weight and beat the consensus top middleweight in Kelly Pavlik. That's impressive. All the while, taking the knockout of the year.

Back to Bute v. Froch, it's a great matchup. Froch is more experienced at world level than Bute, but Bute appears to be the more gifted boxer. I would almost prefer to see this than Froch v. Ward. If Froch beats Ward, I'll change my mind, but right now I'd favor Bute over Froch. Froch lost a close fight to Kessler and that dropped Froch's stock for me because that was a winnable fight. For the record, I favor Froch to beat Johnson and lose to Ward. To be straight, Froch is a warrior and I give him his credit.
