I am not really interested in either of these fights. Bute is very, very good. But I don't want to see Hopkins fighter yet another guy who is coming up in weight. Green is good, but has never been great - even in his prime. Hopkins is #4 on most P4P rankings. He really should be aiming higher than Danny Green. Dawson would actually be a decent fight. Hopkins is old and has achieved a lot. I agree that he has earned the right to just cash out now. But it doesn't mean I will watch those fights.
Bute would knock Hopkins the **** out or it would be a one-sided beating. Hopkins is no longer a world contender, he can't beat the likes of Bute, Dawson, or any boxer in the super 6 tournament, well maybe Jermain Taylor. That's why he's taking on Danny Green, and because of the money of course.
