    Same as you, really enjoyed his last couple peformances. I know he got alot of stick for the Andrade fight but being caught in the last round after dominating him for 11 is not that shameful.

    Bhop is officially done I think anyway. Bute would take this fairly comfortable on points, as mentioned previously Bhop got knackered with shot RJJ. He couldnt handle Butes workrate.

    Yeh, as Toney "Lights out" said, after Bute Miranda fight, Hopkins would prefer Pavlik again.Did you hear him calling again Bute.Cause he`s just a big mouth this time.
    Bute would crash BH for good!

    Yeah, yeah, but until then convince your "big mouth" BH to really take the fight, and not only claim he`ll make Bute a "Canadian Pavlik".
    We`ll see then who`re the fouls and who`re the smart ones.

    If it's at 170, then it doesn't really mean anything in terms of weight. Bute's a big guy.

    Bernard should retire. It's not a case of questioning how old he is but it's just the simple fact that he's fights are the most boring fights you can imagine, aswell as being utterly meaningless in every way. A half filled, half dead crowd inlas vegas watching hime rematch Roy Jones jr. says it all really....

    He should either face Chad Dawson or retire.

    Hey, I like Bute but I still think predicting that he'll knock out Hopkins is foolish.

    Ok, you're the smart one.
