Hopkins vs Bute in talks for the Fall, says Schaefer

[BoxingGorilla]

But, I agree no one is knocking Hopkins out. In fact, that is the only way this ends well for Bute becaue if he beats Hopkins by decision, people will chalk it up to Hopkins being passed his prime. Hopkins never is an easy opponent and makes for boring fights. The only impressive thing Bute can do is knock Hopkins out, which I feel is impossible.

I'd tell Bute, "set the old man on his ass or go home a loser."

Bute is about as good as he will ever get. Hopkins is practically a senior citizen.

"Bute, this grey beard has been in decline for a decade. If he hangs on you like a cheap suit it's because your mama never taught you how to dress. Impose you will on this has been and KNOCK HIM OUT."

Then I'd slap Bute in the face with a bag of ice and call him a mouse turd.
