    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.
    Bute would be easier than Dawson....Bute is a one handed fighter (we watched in Hopkins history what he does to one handed fighters). Calzaghe didn't give Hopkins the worst loss....Hopkins lost a controvertial split decision.
    Roy handed Hopkins the clearest loss imo.Nobody else has really outclassed nor convincingly beat him.

      That's why it seems he's so eager to fight Bute.. HE ALREADY GOT DUKE FIGURED OUT.

      Dude is a true mastermind man.

        Agreed. It's also why he wants no parts of Dawson.

          I have to sadly agree with you man (Dawson and BHop are two of my fav fighters).

          But I think BHop really has nothing more to prove so he can fight whoever the **** he wants.

            True. But it's not as if he just began avoiding Dawson. He avoided him until he found an excuse to fight someone else (Pascal). And even now looks to continue. That's really the only fight at LHW I'm interested in. Watching Hopkins batter the highly overrated Bute does nothing for me. Actually, whis win Saturday did little for me too. I just hope Bernard gives in and we the fans get to see a real treat between a wise old technician and a young student of the game.

              Yeah I know Bhop been avoidin Dawson for a while now.

              A lot of people think the reason Bhop been avoidin Bhop for the longest is that Dawson has absolutely no drawing power (which I semi-agree with).

              But you're right in that Bhop should fight the best contender available and maybe go out on his shield.

              I honestly think Bhop wants to become the oldest to defend his title, THEN fight Dawson and go out wit guns blazin. (if true) I would not mind that AT ALL.

                I'm not convinced. Hopkins check doesn't change from Bute to Dawson. And the way he avoided Dawson during the first go-around tells me he has no intention of making that fight. He has to. He just has to. I respect him a great deal as a true ATG but I'm not buying what he's selling (Pascal, Bute, etc). Let's go, Bernard!!

                    I honestly did not like the quote from him saying."I think Canada would like me to fight Bute".

                    It kills me man.

                    Bhop being my #1 fav fighter and Dawson being my #2 fav...

                      I think he beats Chad in a ugly boring fight tbh....but I'm no fool...he does come across like he wants nothing to do with Chad....I just hope he dances with the young bull to satisfy the hardcore boxing heads....thats the fight he will have to take before its all said and done imo...I hope he feels the same way
