cool....I can hear Buffer now....and NEW....and now a 3 division world champion.....oh yes I can hear those words so clearly!!

B-Hop knows how to handle a southpaw, and is a tough guy to fight, but I think Bute will end up beating him.

Hopkins is an amazing fighter, but eventually there is just going to be another high calibre fighter who overcomes him with youth, I think that will be Bute.

Do you think Bernard could make 168? I mean he made 170 against Pavlik so I think it's possible but that was 2 years ago now. Id say if the fight does get made it will proberbly be at a Catchweight. Hopkins proberbly could make 168 but im not sure he would want to at this age...

I'm intersted in this fight.They should have librado andrade against brinkley
on the undercard,Maybe even andrade vs pavlik.

I was thinking about the about a month ago TBH.....I think B-Hop can make 168 with ease...but PERSONALLY, I would like to see him fight at 170 and above....his age has been showing in the ring but he's so much of a gym rat that I doubt his age would ever show up on the scales IMO.

I agree. 175 is the ideal weight for him now and Bute proberbly walks around at like 175-180 so it shouldnt be too hard a fight to make. The problem is that Chad Dawson wants to fight Bute also, But he has to get by Jean Pascal first.
