Bernard Hopkins vs Paul Williams

What weight are they fighting at?

It doesnt matter. Williams chin has not been tested at 160 or 175. For all we know Hops can knock him out with the first straight right he lands.

Williams is a volume puncher but I dont think he can handle the physicality that would be involved in fighting hopkins.

One way to beat Bernard Hopkins is by punch volume which Williams has.

On the other hand, Hopkins is a great fighter.

So, who wins?

lets get through pavlik first... then we'll have a common opponent to compare with..

Agreed. We have no idea how Paul will react to a strong middleweight, let alone Bernard Hopkins. I will say that Paul has the workrate to outpoint Hopkins, but would he be able to use it?

hopkins would rough the hell out of williams

Hopkins knocks him out. Williams can be outboxed if you have good stamina. Paul would look like a child lost in the woods.

Hopkins destroys him and this fight might happen.. Williams is a little man

If they fought at 160,right now the Punisher wins!!But if they fought when B-Hop was primed,B-Hop beats him up!!I won't comment on the fight over 160 because Paul hasn't fought that high as of yet!!But at the end of his career,the Punisher will be an ATG!!That's my belief!!
