POLL: Hopkins vs. Bute

The fight will likely be at 170 imo. Either way, I don't care how shitty hopkins looked against jones. He looked shitty against calzaghe too. Hopkins will be the underdog in this fight and that's when he does his best work. I'm going with Bhop by UD. Hopkins was the underdog for Calzaghe too. I don't know man. I'm leaning with Bhop, but he looked pretty bad against Jones.

I don't think bute will stop hopkins. Hopkins has one hell of a chin! I really would like hopkins to win but i'm not really sure. This would be a good fight to see if hopkins is finally done or not. I voted for bute by UD because he is a lot younger and a very good boxer too. But maybe hopkins will prove all the people wrong again who say that he is too old and shot 

bute by stoppage. Ancient Roy and old man Calzaghe with osteoperosis hands had him on the canvas rolling around. Bute reminds me of a young Joe C, with better power than Joe had even before his hands were mangled. I say Hopkins does his best to make it ugly, unwatchable, and unscoreable as per usual but it won't be enough and he gets stopped late.

It's so sad if this fight comes off, but I guess Hopkins will continue untill the bitter end. I think we sadly will have to expect Hopkins on the receiving end of a bad beating before he calls it a day. I firmly believe that Bute will do the pitching in this fight and end Hopkins career in a sad moment in boxing. Too many great fighters just doesn't know when to quit.

Bute looks like a good fighter. a fighter with the tools to beat hopkins. But will he? I dont think so. Only because bute has looked good but he has not fought ANYBODY THAT MATTERS. No offense to Bute because I like his style but he has yet to apply that skill against anyone who was at least half as good as hopkins. Miranda and Andrade are punching bags. IMO Hopkins age is the only thing that will give Bute a chance because he is not on Hops level skill wise.

thats what they said about pavlik. hopkins aint a normal fighter! hes special. hopkins by late tko or ko. Can we not compare Bute to Pavlik?

If Hopkins wins how much you wanna bet every hater will come out and say that he's just cherry picking smaller fighters?

Who do you have and how? Personally I believe it's the end of the line for the old man. I really can't see him beating Bute, if he does it would be a huge win IMO. thats what they said about pavlik. hopkins aint a normal fighter! hes special. hopkins by late tko or ko.

@ 175? I've only seen Bute a few times, but I know he is very good fighter, who should have been part of the super six. Hopkins just doesn't seem like he can keep up with these top younger fighters. He'll be accurate and time his opponent, but he doesn't do enough at times. I take Bute by decision.

I really can't see him beating Bute, if he does it would be a huge win IMO. hops got no legs and cant keep up the activity. it will be an ugly fight though, one that bute can't possibly come out looking good. Bute should not make this fight.
