There was a time when Lucian Bute, then the only elite super middleweight not invited to participate in the Super Six World Boxing Classic, stirred up plenty of debate by piling up title defenses as the lone champion on the outside looking in. Was he the top 10 pound-for-pound fighter that some had believed due to his glossy record and highlight-reel knockouts? Or was he simply untested and overrated? We thought he had our answer when Bute was stopped in the fifth round by Super Six runner-up Carl Froch in May, but still, a glimmer of doubt remained.
