    It is.

    Though Bute would be a very tough fight for BHop in 2010. In fact I think Lucian could pull it off at home.

    Sounds good but not as good as Green v Hopkins.

    seriously, **** the olympic stadium. I'd rather watch on TV. They should do it at the bell center and just raise the ticket prices.

    Dawson - for all his talent - invests roughly about as much effort, even into big fights, as Jermain Taylor (which is to say he spreads no more than six rounds' worth of oomph over twelve rounds). A fired up Hopkins could conceivably keep that fight very, very close.

    Bute might be able to do a lot of the things Calzaghe did against Hopkins (not to further perpetuate the overstated comparisons between the two, but the fact is that similarities do exist in their physical and stylistic profile) - the question really becomes whether he's special enough, in the same manner as Calzaghe, to pull it off.

    I think Hopkins defense and ring generalship would cause Bute a lot of problems.

    Hopkins' speed is also very underrated.

    Would be somewhat like Calzaghe Vs. Hopkins.

    Did anyone beside me notice how much Bute was hit in the clinches by Andrade in the first and second fight with uppercuts and hooks and even behind de head...some1 should call Stéphan Larouche and tell him to do someting about it ? Hopkins will hit him even harder and he will buil damage and he could take advantage in the later rounds. It will be hard for Bute to win if he doesn't stop Bhop fast in his tracks imo.

    I think theres a couple of things to think about right now. First, Bute want to be known in U.S. so he will do what's best for him to reach that goal. If Hopkins is the best way for Bute he will make the fight.

    Second and more important, I think it will be HBO's call. If HBO says Hopkins he will go there, if HBO says Pavlik he will go there.

    And to all the people who thinks Bute wont go outside Canada, for the exposure in the U.S. he will without hesitation. GBP won the last bids in the Andrade rematch and they decide to go in Canada, so please, stop saying falsehood.

    If this happens I will try to get a damn ticket for this one. Its not every day that you get to see a boxer like Bernard Hopkins in here!

    Oh how I wish I was alive when they had Duran vs. Leonard here... I would give up my first born just to get some seats for THAT fight.
