Bernard Hopkins vs Paul Williams

[Fights]

What weight are they fighting at?

Super Middleweight.

[Fights]

How about they fight at 168?

[Jim Jeffries]

I'm sure this poll would swing the other way if Hopkins is forced to drop to 165.

I like Hopkins in a phone booth affair. It's obvious BHop would make it ugly. Williams strength is keeping you almost at arms length while he runs up the score. The kid fights ok in close and prefers to brawl, but he does his best scoring when he's getting some extension on those long arms.

That's what the Williams camp wants.

I don't see how Hopkins can win this fight. Paul Williams might be the best OFFENSIVE fighter in boxing. He's deadly accurate and he throws punches from every angle possible (similar to manny pacquiao).

We all saw how easily Paul handled Winky Wright. That was the same Winky Wright that fought Hopkins tooth and nail to the final bell.

Williams would force Hopkins to fight all 3 minutes of every round and even a PRIME HOPKINS hated to do that.

Why do you think Hopkins could never expose Jermain Taylor's terrible stamina issues? Because Hopkins doesn't like to push it himself.

I got P Williams beating the brakes off Bernard Hopkins.

Paul throws a lot of punches in one round... Bernard is a veteran... This should be a good one. It depends on what weight they fight at. Bernard is no pushover.

I'm surprised at how many are picking Hopkins.

Williams is too young, too fast, too long, and throws way too many punches for Bernard.

You think he had trouble getting off against Calzaghe, watch this one.

Likely Williams would win a close UD or SD and Bernard would cry robbery. I mean can it really happen any other way for BHop?
