hopkins vs bute

[kenso]

is this a bad idea for bute? hopkins appeared to be on his way out of the sport in his last fight, but i read about this being a possibility. i still think hopkins is a threat to anyone, and we all have counted hopkins out before and been horribly wrong.

however, bute is a big step up from pavlik and roy jones. how do you guys see this fight going down? i want to pick bute to take it, but idk man - seeing b-hop dismantle pavlik when everyone thought he was finished, just makes me wonder...

bute beats hopkins..bute isnt one dimentional and slow like pavlike..to much speed and power imo,,i think hopkins needs to retire asap

hopkins is dangerous but not against someone like lucian bute.

Bute isn't technical with his boxing at all. You will be shocked son.

hopkins looked terrible in his fight with roy..im a hopkins fan but he needs to retire before he gets hurt

I think Bute would take a UD.

Hopkins isn't as old in boxing terms as most men his age, but he's clearly several years past his prime. The Pavlik performance was great, but even that was almost 2 years ago. Bute is big, skilled, fast, hard-punching and has good footwork. Hopkins might make him look bad but he wouldn't win.

It'd be Calzaghe-Hopkins all over again, with the latter crying about another dirty SD loss for years to come.
