B-Hop wants to fight Bute next. Now Bute and his fans are saying everyone is ducking him and they are crying out for a "name" fighter. Will Bute step up and take the fight? If he does, who wins?
Id say it really isnt a duck if a bigger guy calls you out to come to his weight like if Oscar called out Pacquiao and Manny said Im not gonna fight you is that a duck or if Mayweather called out Hatton and Hatton said no would that be considered a duck Bute has waited along time to get his due no need to move up and fight a guy like Hopkins when he has a chance for Kessler or Ward or Froch
Hopkins has the style and ring-generalship to beat Bute worse than anyone 175lbs down, but based on his last "performance", I don't want to see Hopkins fight anyone for money, ever, especially Bute.
I thought Bute had made it clear he didn't want to fight at LH yet.How much substance is there to this? I know Hopkins said he wanted to fight in Canada again but I never saw this coming.Well done Ramon on a balanced,measured post.No sarcasm,I'm being truthful.
waste of effort to prepare for a fight against Hopkins as he will cowardly quit again rather than taking a beating like a man. making fraudulent excuses afterwards to defend the quitjob so that he keeps the belt after he quit like a chicken
That is awesome news. It gives some negotiation leverage to Bute against the 6 six guys. Thanx B-Hop.
I think Bute should take the fight as according to his fans Ward and Froch petitioned against his inclusion in the S6 and apparently want no part of him. A Pascal/Bute fight is out of the question because they are both too big in Canada to pit against one another, it's something the promoters wont consider. So if Bernard Hopkins is the only fighter willing to get in the ring with Bute and is calling him out, I would suggest Bute should take the fight in a heartbeat, he can always fight the S6 winner down the line sometime when they grow some balls.
Hopkins can shut the **** up. If he wants to do something, how about start by giving me and everyone else our PPV money back for your bull**** acting job in your last fight. Hopkins is full of ****, If he gets low blowed....he will lay on the canvas for 10 minutes. If he falls down, the fights over, if he falls out the ring, the fights over, if he get hit behind the head....the fights over. Yet he has no problem, low blowing, headbutting, kidney punching who ever is in front of him. Guy is just as much of a ***** as Cintron or Dirrell. I also was a Hopkins nuthugger and tried to overlook his antics and BS, but after his last fight I finally said to hell with him. If he fights Bute expect another acting job or fake injury.
Bernard has earned the right (IMO,of course) to be picky and careful about who he fights nowadays.This is a dangerous match up,no one can question his balls if this were to happen.
