is this a bad idea for bute? hopkins appeared to be on his way out of the sport in his last fight, but i read about this being a possibility. i still think hopkins is a threat to anyone, and we all have counted hopkins out before and been horribly wrong.
however, bute is a big step up from pavlik and roy jones. how do you guys see this fight going down? i want to pick bute to take it, but idk man - seeing b-hop dismantle pavlik when everyone thought he was finished, just makes me wonder...
props to the old man for looking to take this fight , he looked horrible in the jones fight , hopkins might be able to make bute look bad but i don't think he wins
hopkins has been getting hit alot more in the fight before roy he took more shots than he used to take
Hopkins barely got hit against Roy, unless you are talking about rabbit punches.
hopkins looked terrible in his fight with roy..im a hopkins fan but he needs to retire before he gets hurt
You have to hit someone to hurt them, and factoring in Hopkins chin,you have to hit it flush, and a lot. With his defense, that is not happening.
naw man..bute is hopkins size not moving up 2 divisions..hes faster and hits harder and can box his ass off..hopkins is 46 its over man..its over
Bute isn't technical with his boxing at all. You will be shocked son.
