Bute takes a UD after some ugly moments caused by Hopkins if this goes off but I don't see it to be honest unless GBP offers some big big money...Butes people are looking for the winner of the SSix
You give a LOT of credit to Bute, who fights a lot of chumps. I mean he's not a cherry picker, but He doesn't exactly beat anyone on the road... ever. And my guess would be he thinks hes a big enough attraction to get the winner to meet him in Canada. And, he gets knocked the f*** out. He's not really that good. When he tires he is downright sloppy. http://www.saddoboxing.com/boxingfor...ies/tongue.gif

But Hopkins? I think Bute beats him soundly. He's got enough skills to make him look bad. Hopkins will have to really work to win on the road against this guy.
Other then the Andrade fight when has he tired? What other fight did he show he gassed? None I can think of......So we will take 1 moment and that was the 12th round of a tough tough fight he was dominating.....In the 12th yes he tired horribly but again how can 1 time be used as the measuring stick?

Fighting Chumps?

All of a sudden Bika is a chump? Bika has been one of the most feared contenders in the SMW division for years now great fighter as in Elite no but he has never been walked over Calzaghe wanted nothing to do with him again...

Andrade is a chump all of a sudden? Wait I know he lost to Kessler who lost to Calzaghe and Ward so Kessler is third rate and since Andrade lost to Kessler that makes him 4th rate regardless of the fact he is one of the divisions most durable fighters and has only lost to 2 of the divisions best fighters in the last 10 years....I guess the KO of Andrade must be because of Librado's glass chin?

Zuniga lost to Inkin, Pavlik and Santos swhen Santos was something the guy is certainly not a walk over since it took Pavlik 9 to stop him and the fact it was Pavlik when Pavlik was the most feared contender from 154-175....

He beat Miranda who has been stopped before but had just put Ward to the limit and is still one of the best 1 shot KO artist in the game....Bute beat him effortlessly...

Berrio is a chump as well I suppose...Former title holder who gave Mack his first loss and current WBO champion Stieglitz...Add in his 80% KO ratio and it makes him a true chump....

The wins that Bute is getting even at home judges can not help you score the KO....

Funny how Calzaghe had people making every excuse in the world when he stayed and fought at home 90% of his career...

26-0 with 21 ko's....Explain how the hometown advantage scored him the 80% KO ratio?

If we broke down the SS participants and their opp before the tourney only Kessler and AA can claim better opp...maybe....Both fight at home a hell of a LOT....Are they chumps as well?

Ward is a chump because his last 2 were at home yes?

C'Mon man back up ypour arguement or at least check your facts before you popst things
