BHOP offers to fight Paul Williams

[TheMacMagician]

I've listened to a great interview with Williams a few moths back, and if he is to be believed i reckon he'd be up for this. He even said in the interview that he'd love to fight Joe Calzaghe, so i reckon he'd take on B-Hop. Its a big jump. I'd say if Hopkins has the power to put Calzaghe on his bum, all be it flash, he stops Williams..... The only fight I wanna see B-Hop take are against Dawson or Adamek...... Personally I think Williams should work on cementing a light middle / middle place just for now....

I think BHOP wins this.. With that said, this would be the UGLIEST fight, possibly EVER!.. BHOP will have to tie up Williams non stop so that he doesn't wear himself out.. Williams will not be able to find a rythm and eventually i think BHOP will start to pot shot some points.. If BHOP doesn't get disqualified or get 2-3 points taken away from him for holding, then he wins a UD.

Im ignoring conventional wisdom here and going with Williams.. He has the frame to carry 170 and I doubt it hurts his output. If anything he might be stronger with his punches.

I dont like it because if Paul will have to making a living at 160 and above

Plus hop will offer a 5%-95% purse to williams anyway

Sounds like typical tongue-in-cheek from Bernard. It's a dangerous fight both guys, with the consequences for losing outweighing the rewards for winning. Still, I wouldn't mind seeing this fight happen.

hopkins all day long

PW was fighting at 147 not 15 months back, moving up to 170 is a whole different world and every punch hop threw would be like a hammer
