Still reckon Bute will somehow scramble out a stoppage victory late in round 1, after an all out war for the ages.

You certainly have to give him respect for not dodging anybody. I mean, this coming on the back of a tough fight with Contender quarter finalist and former junior middleweight prospect Jesse Brinkley as well.

Certainly his countryman Jean Pascal should take notice. With fights over Carl Froch, Adrian Diaconu and Chad Dawson, he's now taking on a 45 year old man in Bernard Hopkins and is in danger I think of losing credibility when you compare his level of opposition with Bute's.

He needs to start fighting top tier opposition like Bute is. Someone like Ovill Mckenzie who gave Tony Bellew all he couldn handle before getting stopped last weekend. You know Bute wouldn't hesitate to fight someone of McKenzie's calibre, and that to me is the difference between the two men.
