Hopkins doesnt even seem too keen on Chad Dawson....not sure why he'd wanna fight Bute and possibly get hurt!!! as for Bute he should fight Erdei or atleast someone rated at the top and end his bum parade
Listen ***. Work it all out for yourself here. Hopkins may have been faster etc when he was younger, but he also wasnt as knowledgeable. Do you think the Hopkins that lost so lamely to Jones would lose to the Hopkins of 2 years ago or now even? I dont. Calzaghe beat Hopkins at a new weight in America sandwiched between Hopkins best wins of Tarver, Wright and Pavlik. Now I havent called Hopkins anything, but prime is a word that is used when a fighter losses only, which is what Calzaghe made Hopkins do, before Hopkins won a world title again. Now as I said before and you are even proving my point like a thick twat, when I say Bute fighting Hopkins is a lose, lose situation because if he wins everyone will say Hopkins is shot. Get it twat atsch
It was a while ago I agree. Im just noting Bute wouldnt have too much trouble getting used to the weight. Remember Calzaghe had never fought at LHW before and beat Hopkins
That is his personnality. His job is to box. His promoter does the promotion. Most fighters are not like Hopkins and Pascal. If he's angry, Bute can trashtalk. He said once that he would shut Pascal's mouth some day. He said the exact thing about Froch. Words ran out of his mouth because Froch is always bashing Bute. Most of the time though, he is polite and respectful. You have the right not to like that but I don't understand, since Kessler is a lot like that and is your favourite fighter.
Bute fought at LHW when he had many fights a year. You cannot dehydrate 5 times a year. Many boxers fight at a higher weight in the amateurs for the same reason. If you have 4 fights in a week, you have to fight at your natural weight.
Bute is a OLD man now.. Let him do what he wants.. I feel sad for the Bute fans.. So many years with no real fights.. :/
Bute cannot fight Hopkins before Kessler. Hopkins just fought and won't return in the ring before 5 or 6 months. The Kessler fight is scheduled for early November. Bute has already a fight in July. He would have to choose between Kessler and Hopkins. The same Hopkins who is about to sign with Dawson, a fight HBO want. Hopkins cannot avoid Dawson. More, Showtime would never accept him to fight Hopkins on HBO. They give team Bute 2 millions per fight to face the best super 6 fighters. A Bute-Hopkins fight is not possible for the moment.
If you look at Hopkins, he still has 15 years in front of him. Bute takes care of himself, he can fight at the top another 6 or 7 years. You'll hear about him for a long time.
Yes but he would put on 7 pounds of muscles. Losing them is not a good idea. Of course, if a fight can be made at 170, he could do it right away. It would take a realistic challenge though. Bute wants to go up after his fights with Showtime.
Bute has fought as high as 181 and he's even admitted himself to struggling to make weight at super middle. It's not like he's blowing himself up to get a big fight.
Im looking forward to it.. Cuz Bute looks interesting.. But Ive waited so long now.. You must be frustraited.. 5-6 years with no big fights.
Hopkins is pretty Skinny for 175.. So why would Bute have to put on 7 lbs of muscle to move up? and when was Pavlik suppose to fight him? I dont remember that honestly..
I see you stil haven't understood the basic economic things of boxing, even if I have told them to you at least 3 times. Hopkins is with HBO and Bute with Showtime. There are 2 ennemies and no one will let his fighter go on the other network. THIS FIGHT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR. I hope you will finally make a little effort to understand such basic things.
