Bernard hopkins wants fight with lucian bute

BHop can beat Bute. He's not the hardest guy to counter.

Andrade couldn't even hit Bute in the rematch, though I do realize Andrade is a limited fighter compared to BHOP.

He can crack and should be able to land cleanly on Bernard.

The 2lb difference would not make much of a difference for Lucian so if Bernard wins then he has proved his case that he still has enough to stick around a while.

No one lands more than 4 times cleanly on Hopkins in a fight. Calzaghe couldn't (landed grazing shots), Tarver couldn't, Pavlik didn't land a shot, and Jones didn't even throw.

If he does get Bute, he better fight him at 175 so he could have a chance. At 170 Bute will win.

Why is he picking on Bute rather then fighting Dawson?

Unproven? The guy is the #1 ranked SMW.

Hopkins is about money at this point. Bute in Canada earns him more money than Dawson anywhere on Earth.

Very true, And, Bute is a legit fight. Especially at 170. I would favor Bute at 170. If I was Hopkins I would make it at 175.

Bute is garbage....andrate is margarito with a much worse chin hes trash

watch that fight again and tell me bute beats hopkins...hell miranda for that matter..

Hes there to be hit he only steps to the side after hes been hit a few times. He throws a sloppy right hook from the arm .

I'll bump this when Bute brutally KO's Miranda early. Miranda has taken alot of punishment in his career, if Bute doesn't look good against Miranda then I know it won't look good for him.
