Bernard Hopkins vs Lucian Bute

Right now or Prime for Prime? Prime Hopkins schools and embarrasses Bute. However, the Hopkins that fought Pascal could have a chance. Not too sure though.

 

BHOP and Ward are the two reasons why BOOTAY has not YET conquered the LHW division.
For one, he doesn't want to embarrass the living legend, and for two, he wants to **** that pretty little california girl.

EARLY!:deal

 

Lucian Berto is a can eater.

 

And for 3, he's a SMW not a LHW.

 

Bute KOs this old fart.

 

Bute takes him out and I'm thinking it's a very possible fight next year.

 

Gotta see Bute against some top peeps before I say he can definitely beat B-Hop. At this point he might be able to, in B-Hops prime though, not a chance. Right now, I'll go with Bute, but B-Hop a G though so... it's tough to say.

 

Hopkins is 46 and would be 47 by the time they'd get to fight. He would be too old by then.

 

Bute's Mother gave birth to a bum.

 

Hopkins is undefeated against southpaws.

 

Almost.

Calzaghe was a southpaw.

 

I need to see Bute in there with a top contender. He hasn't fought one in years. If Hopkins beats Dawson, i will favor Hopkins heavily. If he loses, then it's a toss up. But i think Bute will find a home for that devastating upper cut of his. But Hopkins would maul him on the inside and control the distance and land a ton of right hands.

 

Bute wins 9 of the 12 rounds then the usual cast of ESB's finest claim Hopkins won the fight easily.

 

Bute workrate and handspeed would be troublesome for Hopkins.
