Comments Thread For: Bernard Hopkins Willing To Face Froch or Bute Next

[frosty-g]

He would have to be the dumbest genius in the history of mankind. He thought Australia was in Europe FFS.

I believe he is on drugs, but really that is beside the point. Why does he mention Froch and Bute but not Kessler, Ward, or Kovalev? Because the former have wide looping punches that are telegraphed and the latter throw straight short punches.

and?
can't blame him for wanting to take the easy option, when that easy option is froch or bute

If froch fights Hopkins it's officially the greatest resume ever lol froch is s beast

[bravestone]

I hope it's Bute then because I'd go for sure. I was at Hopkins/Pascal 2 and it was AMAZING. Hopkins loves it here and we love him

Froch v Hopkins won't happen, froch is a natural supermiddle and won't move up. Bute however is fighting pascal at 175 and although I fully expect pascal to stop him, if bute wins Hopkins could fight bute, which would be a very interesting match up.

good choice of opponents hopkins is calling out, although it would have been nice if he included ward in those plans...

What I told before?
Up there, in Canada, they would make more than $2 million, each...
And don't write Bute out, yet.

Right -- Froch is a natural SM...
... And Pascal can't stop Bute -- Pscal is not a pressure fighter. But Bute is able to stop Pascal.

Except he publicly declared he'll never fight Ward due to their personal relationship (which I think is a smokescreen for him knowing he can't beat Ward).

Ward would beat B-Hop easily -- they have the same style, with Ward far too young for Hopkins. Plus a very boring fight and no big purses involved...

Froch is a natural SM, he's been fighting there his whole career, doesn't put on much weight between fights or after the weigh in, he genetically just doesn't put on much weight like myself.

You don't need to be a pressure fighter to stop bute. I think Pascal stops bute early.
