WHAT!!

what has bute achieved in the division ....

froch has beat taylor, abraham, dirrell and the current #1 at 175 in pascal.. along with a close loss to kessler in denmark and you have him behind a guy that was practically ko'd by andrade for all but a bit of home town reffing
Maybe it turns out I wasn't clear at all I believe the order of the division in terms of talent is Ward, Bute and then Froch, but as far as records, its Ward/Froch, then Bute. No doubt whatsoever. If Froch had beat Kessler, it would be hands down Froch, Ward, Bute.

Hitman - you always forget that Bute knocked out Andrade in their second meeting. Lest you also forget, he won 10 rounds of 12 in their first fight too. In fact, if you look at his opponents, Bute has barely lost a round in the last few years. Really, he hasn't clearly lost a round besides the last two to Andrade in their first fight. You also minimize the fact that he then took the rematch with Andrade just to settle any controversy about the first fight. He didn't have to do that because officially he got the W. What was the point of doing that if people like you continue to bring up the first fight? The fact that he did do that should be testament to the quality of sportsman that he is. That you consistently bring up the first match with Andrade really is completely baffling.
