Has everyone read what Ward said about facing Hopkins? He said that it didn't make sense to face Hopkins because if you beat Hopkins, the critics will say that Hopkins was an old man, and thus, the win doesn't mean much. If you loses to Hopkins, the critics say you are overrated and should face a young gun. So, what's the upside to Bute facing him?
