    That's exactly how I see it. Hopkins is just a horrible fighter to watch these days and he seems to have slipped badly over his last few fights, which isn't surprising given his age. Bute will get caught a couple times, but Hopkins won't be able to hurt him with anything about that his head and it will turn into an ugly, foul-filled (mostly from Hopkins), clinch-fest which Bute will win.

    Hopkins needs to go away.

    Well it seems to be the continuous agreement....I mean it is impressive that Hopkins can get inj and still not be made to look a fool by anyone but his own antics but he is absolutly a zero when it comes to having any real effect on the title scene picture...

    He is turning himself into something he need not be because he really is an ATG without question and unlike Holyfield etc he is not coming back for slaughter after slaughter in the skill department when he faces the younger guys but instead he has become an actor..

    I guess when you are a partner in GBP it makes it easy to push yourself into high profile bouts...

    Only until people refuse to watch those fights, which I think is coming soon for Hopkins.

    This sounds just like the feedback on hopkins before the Pavlik fight after him losing to Joe! I think Bute should avoid this fight he doesn't need it.

    Yea I would definitely pick Bute to win this but I would urge him really really strongly to NOT take this fight. It would only make him look bad and Hopkins would be in his kitchen all night where Bute isn't comfortable. Bute just wouldn't look good and no way he would KO Hopkins.

    I feel like a piece of crap for saying it.....but i'd actually like to see this fight. Shit if andrade could beat this guy that first time then i'm pretty sure old ass irritating hopkins will find a way to if nothing else make it close. My call would be hopkins would loose a wide wide uni decision but then act like he can still fight and act like he won afterward.

    I don't think Hopkins SHOULD fight again, he looked his age against Roy practically. Thing is people wont stop watching if he were to take actually take a fight like this, can you really tell me you wouldn't care to see it? I think the fact that he is seemingly in such decline and clinging on sort of makes it all the more worthy a matchup given how dangerous Bute could be... Fighting a guy like this is pretty much the only way Hopkins can still get the spotlight, and how shit he's been lately won't really matter if they do this fight in Montreal, it would be huge.
