    Bute is 2 Fast For Bernard

    Bernard should be careful when calling guys out. Bernard's worst loss of his career is to Joe Calzaghe, and that was because Joe was faster and outpaced, outthrew Hopkins.

    Bute is also a lot faster than Bernard, and Bute also is aggressive and will go for KO. He's tremendous bodypuncher.

    I really feel Bute beats Hopkins, either by decision or late round KO. I can't see Bernard beating Bute. I also think Bute is the worst matchup for Bernard due to Bute's speed and movement.

    To be quite honest I think BHOP would have a better time fighting Froch, Ward, or Dawson.

    Bute is a bad matchup for Bernard and Bernard will get outboxed and lose the fight.

    Hopkins takes care of Bute decisively. Dawson is a different story.

      Realistically, I can see Bute becoming the first to KO Hopkins, or atleast win a decisive decision.

      Bute is the *worst* matchup for Hopkins due to Bute's combination of speed and power.

        it isn't speed alone that beats hopkins.

        bute has never fought anyone as crafty and smart as Bhop. He would have a lot more trouble than you realize.

        Bute looks great against bums but lets see him in the ring with a true vet.

            Hopkins will do better with slower guys. Ward, Dawson, Froch are all slower than Bute. (Not to mention Bute also hits harder than all of them).

            Hopkins will do better against Dawson, Ward, Froch than Bute.

            Bute is the worst possible match for Bernard in my opinion.

              Yeah that's why Bute will duck Hopkins.

                At this point in time, Hopkins would school God and KO Superman. On the same night.

                  Bute is so overrated. I like him but he has beaten absolutely nobody.

                    I think Bute is a style-nightmare for Bernard.

                    However, I doubt the fight would come to fruition due to TV contract differences (HBO for Bernard, Showtime for Lucian).
