Comments Thread For: Hopkins vs Bute Clash In Talks For The Fall, Says Schaefer

I want it to happen just so Hopkins gets stopped. I don't want some bull**** though like a fight at LHW. Bute's the arguable p4p guy with huge marketability, he should be the one making the demands for this low reward fight.

Another fighter coming up for Hopkins. Dude is a great boxer but his greatness is overrated as fuck.

u do realize he fought at 160 for 15 years and he now is a 45 year old man.

I would like to see this fight. To see how good Bute really is, Bernard as we know is ancient but he is still a very difficult guy to fight and could well do something simular to what he did to Pavlik. We havent seen Bute fight a real world class boxer-puncher yet, But that's not really his fault. Aside from the Super Six there isnt really anyone out there. I think Hopkins would be an interesting fight, But im not sure if Bute's people would want to make it. He doesnt gain much from this fight, but Hopkins is a big name and a win over him would make Bute more well known.

Hahahahahaha! But Ward wouldnt be able to fight him until like 2012 anyway, So Bute has to keep busy until then. I think he is very skilled but still untested on the elite level, Meaning I wouldnt be hugely suprised if he lost between now and 2012.

Ive always wanted to see Hopkins get his ass kicked, but never actually picked anyone over him until this. Hes too old for this level of fighter. This guy is no Pavlik. I never thought Pav stood a huge chance, but this guy may KO BHop.
