    Hopkins can't be knocked out.. :bart

    Close fight.. Would like to see Hopkins win it, but I can see it playing out like the Hopkins/Calzaghe fight except Bute won't be throwing pitty pat punches..:bbb

    Canada announces that for the first time in boxing history they will be handing out four (4) free Provacs and a free Molson Ale to all Pascal and Bute fans 46 minutes (time to activation) prior to the first bout.
    Just show your "I Frenched Bute" button at the ticket counter to takr advantage of this offer.

    Maybe, Bute has made a few career moves, following Calzaghes lead and blueprints.
    Still a victory over Hopkins wouldnt look as good as a few years ago as so many Hopkins fans said Hopkins was shot when Calzaghe beat him

    No one but chad dawson in my opinion beats Hopkins between 168-175, Calzaghe was the last great fighter from those division and he beat hopkins, you need to have ATG ability to beat B-Hop none of these guys have the skill and ability.

    Dawson doesn't have ATG ability. Calzaghe didn't have ATG ability.

    ...but you don't need ATG ability to beat Hopkins at this stage.

    Hopkins wasn't shot against calzaghe. He looked old but we can safely say that was more to with style than age.

    The guy is going strong, he's a legend.

    I'll say he wasn't at his prime against Calzaghe, but a shot Hopkins is still beast..

    OK, this is really getting ridiculous. Bute KOs Larry, Moe and Curly and now he's supposed to take out one of the best defensive fighters of our generation? Yeah, Hopkins was KD a couple of times against Pascal but that's completely different from being hurt. He was never hurt. One was actually behind the head. Not Pascal's fault as Hopkins had his head lowered but he was never hurt. And he came back to school Pascal. This is a guy that seldom gets hit flush, let alone gets hurt.

    I don't discount Bute winning via UD but via KO? No way.
