Bernard hopkins wants fight with lucian bute

[Sweet Jesus]

He is not a B- level fighter, again you don't know what you're talking about. He is an elite SMW. He is NOT an elite P4P fighter. But, at 168 he is elite, arguably the best SMW, you look at his resume is better at 168 is better than most if not all who is in the Super 6. And, he has good skills.

Pascal, Taylor, Dirrell is worse than Bika, Andrade, and Joppy?

Kessler, Miranda, Buchanan is worse than Bika, Andrade, and Joppy?

Andrade, Mundine, and Beyer is worse than Bika, Andrade, and Joppy?

Unless he moves up who else can Bute fight with star power? All the supermiddle weights are tied up for a while with the tounament. This would be a win-win for both fighters.

ward...green fought miranda already.green fought him when he was feared

bute is fighting him next week

Yea but you forgetting that Bute also has wins against Bika and Andrade who are top 10 SMW, Green has zero wins against such competition. And, Bute also beat Alejandro Berro who also was top 10 and the IBF champ who beat Steiglitz who later on went on to beat the undefeated champ in Inkin. Dude is legit bro...

you never answered - who makes bernard more money?

Depends on what HBO can put up. Hopkins after his Roy performance is in trouble bro. Even in Canade Bute gon bend him over and take most of the cash. Bute dont need him and might not even want to fight him after that Roy performance to be honest.

Cut the **** people.

C+ level

I can see miranda doing that..he looks like you just have to track him down and hes very hittable

[kbpoetree]

as always i believe Hop knows whom he can and cant beat and he picks his opponents wisely...if he says he wants a guy he beleives almost for sure he as a way to beat em...may b ugly but a W for him is a W he's in it for the biz not to excite us even tho its us who pays his bills

If you have Bute as the number 1 SMW I have to seriously wonder how you rank fighters. Are you just doing an eye test or are we actually ranking fighters by their performances inside the ring. Bute hasn't done ****tttttttttt.

Bute improved since that fight, Andrade couldn't even hit Bute in the rematch at all. Also that Bute in the first Andrade fought sloppy and was clinching like Hopkins does. In the rematch Bute fought cleanly and didn't clinch once and toyed with Andrade. The first Andrade fight was one of the worst showings of Bute.

Berrio is garbage truly....Were talking about fighting bhop...A-Class P4p material not top 5 bums in a weak ass division like Supermiddleweight.

Is Lucian Bute much smaller then Bernard Hopkins? What the fuck is wrong with alot of people on here?! Your saying thats not a respectable opponent?
