I'd love to see a Froch Bute fight. I really think it would be a hard fight to predict, and I actually disagree to an extent on the usual predictions, of Bute by points or Froch late KO.
These kinds of fights tend to surprise and I actually think it could just as easily be Froch outpointing Bute or Bute stopping Froch.
Bute seems to fade down the stretch, and may not be as tough as Froch, but there is no question that Froch is far easier to hit, and Bute can definitely bang. So a Bute stoppage would not be out of the question.
Froch is not as good a technical boxer as Bute imo, but he's awkward, and rugged and unconventional and that might cause problems for Bute. I could picture a scenario where he gets hurt and is tentative loses a decision so I don't think the Bute points or Froch KO general feeling is necessarily how it will go.
I do think however that Froch will struggle to get past Andre Ward so he might not face Bute at all sadly.
