Comments Thread For: Pascal's Promoter: Bute Excuses; Hopkins Offer is Made

[jvsnypes]

I respect Hopkins' accomplishments and reputation, but he is done as a fighter. There is no need for this fight. In his prime, he would have an easy time with Pascal. But at 45,Pascal's speed and flurries will be too much for the aging lion.Its one thing to beat up a slow fisted flat footed Pavlik and another to face a fighter with blazing speed and good movement.It was Pascal's speed that threw Dawson's whole fight plan off.It made Dawson respect him and focus more on defense. Well you could see that Hopkins was intimidated by the speed of an old Roy Jones in their last fight. What could he possibly do with this type of athlete at this stage of his career?

Bute will fight the winner of the Super 6 and he will beat him, the fight with Pascal is the last option, they both have many fights already planned.

I bet he moves up to LHW. He's not going to sit around and weight until the tourney is over.

Bute is super talented, but if you look at his list of opponents, you will see a trend. His promoter appears to be playing it safe with him for some reason. I really want to see the Bute/Pascal fight. That would rejuvenate the sport here in Canada.

He has 2 fights already planned before the end of the tournement, he will stay and fight in his division. I heard that from Bute...

I knew cherry picking ass Hopkins would wait for Dawson to lose.

We hear these fighters say a lot things. I'm not convinced he's going to fight the winner. We will see....

You should know by the events of this year that you can't really believe in what everyone says...

I also don't see the reason why to "plan" to fight the Super 6 winner when he had the chance to actually join the tournament, but didn't take it...

i have a feeling he will fight b hop next. kinda interesting since hopkins is pretty old. man when i was in highschool i was thinkin DAM B HOP STILL FIGHTING? he old! LOL dam man

[Davros?]

Bute vs Pascal would be a bit awkward to make as Bute has a fight lined up in 2months time so the fight would not take place for something like 6months, unless Bute cancelled his next fight.

its gonna be a snooze fest 12-0 Pascal man
