    yeah no doubt i mean Calzaghe all he did was pat him to death hell the lame shot to the back of the head from Jones jr was worse than any punch Calz laid on him..but the speed landed the points and thats all that counts u right he has probs w speed..and if Jones wasnt so gun shy he couldve won...i believe jones jus wanted a pay day hell he didnt even seem upset he lost...honestly dont know if i was goin anywhere w the whole Pav beat Taylor Taylor beat Hop Hop beat Pav lol i'm tipsy now lol

        For example:


        Jermaine Taylor,Samuel Peter,Kelly Pavlik,Mikkel Kessler,Carl Froch,Arthur Abraham,etc.


        As soon as they fight someone with a pulse then ya`ll say"He`s been exposed".

        Ya`ll should have known he was a bum before they fought someone with a pulse.
        This reminds me of Sergio Martinez. Everyone said Sergio Martinez was a nobody, but very few of us acknowledged how skilled he was. I was one of the very few who said Martinez would beat Pavlik and this was after he beat Bunema!. I also said Martinez is the only dude who can beat Paul at 154. Same with Bute, his resume isn't all that but the man is skilled and he would give B-Hop serious problems, may even beat him.

          Hopkins would have to go to MMA to fight James Toney cause Toney`s contract says he could only fight for UFC.

            So Hopkins just want easy big paydays.
            Seriously, he acts like Dawson can't make any money. There is a reason why HBO forks over millions for Dawson to fight(good or bad investment they still do). He may make a tad more against Bute because his live gate is strong but more people would watch Dawson/Hopkins on t.v.. It's not that big of a difference.

                    I`ve seen enough of Bute to realized that he`s another Hyped up bum.If you want to drink the Bute Koolaid go ahead,but when he gets exposed don`t say "oh i always new he was a bum"
