    I'm suspecting this might just be a plot to get more money out of a fight against Danny Green but who knows. :huh

    From the website where they talk about boxing:

    If it makes dollars, it makes sense. I'd be happy with a Bute-Hopkins fight.

    Apparently, a fight with Allan Green is also in the work.

    The 500$ question is: Will Allan Green price himself out of another fight? (the third one with Bute lol)

    Bute, could beat him. Danny Green is a terrible fight.

    Danny Green is an easier fight for Hopkins due to Green being too slow. But Bute would be a good fight for Hopkins as he has better speed and movement. Calzaghe showed that by being busy and applying pressure you can outwork Hopkins. As long as Bute can stay out of trouble he could give Hopkins a hard time.
    After Hopkins got beat by Calzaghe, I dont expect this fight to happen at this stage of Hopkins career now.

    Pavlik, Hopkins and Green are all possible opponents.

    It would really suck if Bute ends up fighting none of them.

    If that's what he got offered, he should definitely take it.

    believe me he isn't gonna make 3.5M against Bute

    Danny Green must be fighting him for a bag of doritos

    I'm sorry to say it, but Bute would KO him within 8 rounds. Hopkins is a legend, but Bute will be one too, I don't want Hopkins' career to end on a sour note. I really hope this fight doesn't happen.

    Bute is the wrong style for Hopkins, Green is the easier of the two fights and Green fight would probably be for even bigger money although both would be big. Still, after Green's win over Jones there is still a lot of excitement in Australia and would probably be the bigger of the two purses.

    Let`s make predictions for Bute`s fights in 2010 regarding number & opponests:

    Neither Hopkins nor Pavlik won`t take this fight. You know why.
    Alan Green wants a pretty big purse regarding his ranking and maybe he`ll have it. But I feel the match won`t be arranged.

    So, my prediction is only two matches in 2010:

    -with the winner Stieglitz / Miranda

    -with Bika as mandatory challenger

    (could be though a match with the mandatory of WBO also but I already made choise)
