I like Lucian Bute, but his face annoys me.

I will not buy any PPV promoted by Bob Arum.

He looks as though he should be a banker, not an elite fighter

He’s baby-faced, but knowing what he can do I enjoy the humor in that, and I think he does. A bit of the imp around the eyes, I think.

I actually think he looks particularly old…In that picture right there, I could actually see him wearing a bad rug and trying to sell me a used car haha!

it’s an especially unflattering picture.

He is aRomanian and many think he is French Canadian, Maybe their expectations

have been shattered. Who knows.

My advice to Magee: don’t jump in swinging, because a left uppercut will be ripping through your ribs

lol

You paint a nasty picture…. :)

In 2008 Lewis commented on a possible match up with Riddick Bowe. "He waits until I am in retirement to call out my name," said Lewis. "I will come out of retirement to beat up that guy. I'll beat him up for free."

but an accurate one.

I do just wonder why it is that, sometimes when I know perfectly well how the fight is going to end, I’ll still really enjoy watching it, and others it’s why I don’t watch, there’s no logic to it. But I always enjoy Bute.

I’m no fashion monger, but Bute’s tie in this picture really seems to want me to mock it.

The suit looks like those shark skin suits haha. It may be the finest threads, but hmmm doesn’t photograph well

is it just me or does Bute have a tiny fist ?

by Colon3l on Mar 18, 2011 7:24 AM EDT reply actions

I think it's an illusion

produced by the ill-fitting cuff plus the fact that the other guy’s thumb is included, making his fist visually much wider-looking. You piqued my interest—it does look smaller at first, but I measured with a sticky post and they’re about the same size. It would be amazing if Bute’s fist were as small as it looks at first here.
