Thread: B-hop to face Bute in march?

Just reading sky sports and it says that B-hop wants Bute in march? What happened with the final decision with Dawson is it final that Dawson won by TKO? Who wins B-hop - Bute?

If B-Hop still has something left and his shoulder is okay then I say he schools bute with the angels and movements. Plus the straight right would disrupt butes rhythm all night...

Very risky fight for Bute IMO , I dont think he should bother at all with him. He's got a lot of work to do at 168 and there are so many better match ups for him than B-hop.

I think this is a bad move for Bute. I know everyone wants to be the one to finally make Hopkins look old, but Bute's much better off just staying busy and waiting for the winner of Froch - Ward.

This would be a horrible move. First of all, moving up in weight when Bute can comfortably make 168 is a bad move and then to do it against Hopkins who has a track record of breaking down up and coming fighters is just dumb. No way he makes a decision of who to fight next until he sees what happens on December 17th.

I don't agree with you guys. I think Bute at this point of Hopkins career, is too much for B-Hop . Bute can maintain the tempo Pascal brought on early for most of the fight, and is much faster and stronger. Bute could even ko Hopkins i think

Hop needs to finish the business with Dawson, that's my take.

Is the great Hopkins trying to duck Bad Chad now?

Not again old Hopkins, what's it going to be this time,
I can see it now Bute, hit's him with a jab a summer salt
and a back flip down he go's the ref count's 30.
It's all over the Winner Bernardo ref disqualifies Bute for
mugging an OAP.

No body wants to see B Hop with Chad the first time never mind the return.

Bute would be crazy going to light heavy he should force Hopkins down at 168lb.

i think more that he's likely to fight Froch the next time around even if Froch loses against Ward. The reason? It would be the hell of a promotion to compare how Bute would do against Froch vs Froch against Ward. The table would then be dressed to unify the belts (would Froch loses against Ward) and people would see what Bute really worths compared to the other guys from the super 6. Hopkins would be more of a B plan if the fight against Froch doesn't land.

Also, from a practical viewpoint, Ward can take care of his mandatory against Anthony Dirrell.

Id just like to see Bute fight any live body and Hopkins isn't going to cut it..

He needs to face a young elite fighter.. No more gimmie opponents cuz it's getting disgusting..

That as well, Anthony Dirrell vs Ward could be an interesting fast and furious type of match, I am afraid that Ward would play quite dirty though.

BHop a gimme opponent? Behave. No one has ever beaten him convincingly (apart from Roy)
