    Jesus Christ people. Stop with the hating already.

    I think a Bute-Hopkins fight would probably be big up here in Montreal.

    HBO seems interested in Bute. With HBO and the butts Bute puts in the seats. There is probably more money there for Hopkins then a fight against Dawson and Adamek.

    Hopkins is still a very tricky fighter. It wouldn't be easy for Bute. He would probably have to play the role of the pressure fighter against Hopkins.

    It would be a bit of a lose lose scenario for Bute but it would give him a big payday and it might be the break he needs to become a name in the USA.

    I say bring it on!

    Money may make the difference, but if I were Bute I would think hard about this fight. Pavlik had little to gain and much to lose fighting an old Hopkins. His career headed south real fast after that ass beating. I think Bute is on a whole different level than Pavlik and would give Bhop a much better fight. I just dont know if it would be worth the risk. Hopkins would do everything he could to make a statement.

    I have to think about this one for a while if I were to advise Bute. Money speaks....

    Prime for prime would be very close fight but right now I see Bute as too confident and too fresh for Hopkins. I think Pavlik will be BHop's last major win. Age catches up to fighters, even if they manage to stay in excellent external physical condition.

    Hopkins will not fight Bute IMO.
    He's smarter than that.

    While I'll never underestimated Hopkins, I would favor Bute in a decision. Especially in Canada.
