Comments Thread For: Bute Crushes Miranda, Could Bernard Hopkins Be Next?

No way B.Hop should be in the same ring of Bute.
Bute too fast for the old man. B.Hop would need Alka-Seltzer
to digest all the leather he would get from Bute.
He is the best!

Analyze it all you want. Bernard Hopkins will find a way to win.

true....and he'll do it HIS way!! ....some dudes are so quick to say "B.Hop has never fought someone like Bute" like Bute has fought 25 B.Hops or something!!.....NOTHING Bute does or NOONE he has beaten says he KO's or hurts B.Hop like some of these dudes are posting!!

miranda did dumb...he shouldnt have ducked bute like that.

[Clyde Barrow]

This sounds better than Hopkins trying HW. But Hopkins needs to retire really. Bute handles him.

Bute has been compared to Calzaghe except with power. Sure he doesn't throw quite as many punches as Joe, but he's a southpaw with fast hands who throws from all angles. I think at this stage, Bernard finding a way to win against Bute is a long shot.

Bute IS open for lead right hands, but I'm doubtful that BHOP has the power to get the job done.

bute will NOT KO b-hop... hopkins is a rough dude, he ****s with the bigger guys and is too slick for bute. b-hop is a solid old school tactical fighter, there is no way he will let himself be open for a KO. plus, his chin is amazing. i DO think bute is a great talent and would be the obvious favorite in that fight.

only way to beat b-hop is to out-hussle him and win decisively by staying busy and not let him time you. especially now, b-hop is looking faded but still a tough fight... bottom line, if bute beats him... b-hop will make him look average. NOBODY LOOKS GOOD AGAINST B-HOP win or lose. bute has the same chance as calzaghe against nard.

as for miranda, anyone else hoping to see him do better? i dont know why, but i want to see miranda get his **** together. i was hoping goossen would do the guy some good. i thought miranda was doing pretty good until he started losing his cool.... he totally reverted back to his wreckless ways. i guess 9 months with goossen wasnt enough.

also, who else was digging that plaid shirt goossen was wearing in the corner? HAHA

Would much rather see Pavlik/Bute than Bute/Hopkins

I'd favor Bute in both fights. I'm a bit biased though, when I watch Bute fight its like art to me... I mean he is so freaking fast and powerful. I'd favor Bute over the top 168 fighters too.

People can talk bad about the win over Miranda, we know Miranda is past it a bit but Bute stopped fighters who never been KO'd before like Andrade and Zuniga. Zuniga was TKO'D by Pavlik because of an injury to Zuniga eye I believe it was. But no one ever KO'd Zuniga or Andrade until Bute did.

he'd beat bhop at this point, but he wouldn't ko him. the executioner isn't getting knocked out til he's 50 or moves up to heavyweight. hopkins should do it though, it'd be a good paycheck for his last fight.
