I would be more impressed with a win over Williams than Dawson, especially judging by their last fights. Williams with a great win over Winky where as Chad put in a very average, boring performance against Tarver
I think Williams is excellent but surely a win over Dawson does more for Hopkins. In success terms Williams is still a welterweight who stepped up and beat a Winky Wright who hadn't fought in two years. Its a shame that you couldn't just pop old Hopkins in a deep freeze for a couple of years and let Williams fill out a little more into a solid 160 fighter then just have him and Hopkins duke it out....
I think Williams is ready to roll at Middleweight.Frame and range alone for me.Do think Hopkins would be on the heavier side when ever they fought.I think this is Hopkins politicing,opening doors and options and should Dawson take care of Johnson he'll have no problem with making a fight with Dawson.Whatever happens,I think Hopkins gets slighted should he face Williams just as he has with all of those "jr middleweights" he faced
