    Yeah it was a close fight but Bute managed to make this fight against Bika look easier than Joe did.

    A fight with B-Hop is possible if Bika gaves him some money from the contender !!!

    From round 6 onwards, he started finding his range, and kept well away from Bika...the latter simply couldn't get within range even when lunging full out...made for a bit of a chess match, though...for a couple of rounds. Calzaghe fought a very stupid fight...throughout.

    You are right Dhralt...I think Calzaghe was put down to the canvas in his fight against Bika.

    It's also possible if Adamek gives him the CW championship just cuz he can and Bika is a great guy.

    Bika beat Peter Manfredo in 3 rounds, just like Joe Calzaghe did. This makes Bika as good as Calzaghe, and Hopkins fought Calzaghe therefore he would fight Bika.

    Obviously.

    No,wrong.That makes Bika as good as Calzaghe and Bika should automatically have a win on his record and Hopkins a loss on his record even without fighting just cuz...

    I'm sure B-Hop would have a big night of work with Bika around. Bika is a tough guy with a big heart.

    Paulie, Bika's not a draw, mate...not anywhere...he's just a tough as hell dangerous opponent...Hopkins would fight 50 fighters before considering to fight Bika, and I don't think I'm exaggerating here...:good

    I saw the fight, and it was a blowout. The rounds were hard fought, but Bute closely but clearly won most of them. He beat Bika more convincingly than Calzaghe did.

    Bad theory. Why would he do this? I understand the wanting to move away from the Brinkley rumour, but if I were in his shoes and my mgmt floated this idea I'd fire their asses.

    Talk about a buggered up risk/reward factor. He may was well just rematch Andrade straight away. At least there's some credit in that.
