BHOP offers to fight Paul Williams

I wouldn't mind seeing a Hopkins/ Williams fight! I'd have to go with the old man in this one though...

It would be great if this fight happens, specially after Hopinks being very close to his retirement at his age. However, I choose the 45 years old man to win this fight. Certainly a great match up, if it happens, so promoters start doing your job!!! ;D

You know all about that with negotiations and you get that done to where you're at the point of announcing a fight in NYC and you pull out. This isn't the first time this happened, but it seems odd that this happened and Paul Williams is out of a major fight for this year. I have an interest in promoting good fights and making good fights, so I'm working on both ends and I have a solution to come up with that could change the sadness into happiness. Either way I win, because I feel like I accomplished making the Pavlik-Williams fight happen and if Paul Williams wants to fight at 170 like he told you so many times, I'm here and ready. I'm four or five months away from being 45

I Highly doubt this fight could happen...Jumping from 154 to 170 just to knock a old man out for cash would be good if your body - speed and agility don't get affected.. we all know Williams would dismiss BHOP with ease if the factors of speed and agility in the ring do not change..

Bhop may be older but he is a very clever counter puncher. After watching him pick Pavlik apart I would not put anything past him. Williams will need to come in with his head screwed on. Not just go for it but try to pick his punches only putting power into them when he has a sure punch. If he over swings and misses too much, Bhop will keep countering him and slow him down.
