Pavlik must love that he is now Hopkins reference point for calling out fighters for a total ass kicking.
Hopkins has a much better chance at competing against Bute than he does competing against Dawson. I'll say this about Hopkins, he knows what fighters to pick on.:yep
Lol at people arguing Bute's nationality. Honestly, who gives a sh!t!?! I'd give B-Hop a legit chance against Bute. Hop would make it an ugly fight (as always) and Bute would lose out of frustration.
B-Hop ducking fast, slick black fighters. What a racist. B-Hop probably doesn't even know where Romania is located.
Bernard Hopkins: "I'll turn Bute into a Candaian Kelly Pavlik." So, is BHop saying he can beat Bute up so bad that Lucian will turn into a middleweight who has bronchitis and an elbow injury:think
Excellent fight for Bute. Win-win situation for sure but who wants to bet that Hopkins offers him peanuts for the fight and Bute will reject knowing he can make more fighting a bum in Montreal? Hopkins is notrious for calling people out then low balling them. I think Bute would have to be given the edge at this point hut still pretty gutsy for B-Hop to call him out, hopefully B-Hop offers him a decent payday and this can happen.
Why does Hopkins mention fights with everybody below his division, above his division, but not the one man in his division that is the single most logical fight? Regardless of this Romanian/Canadian bull****, the dumbest thing is thinking its going to be as simple as rendering him another Kelly Pavlik. He ain't a thing like KP.
