Bhop UD12.

[BEEHOP]

b-hop would win, then be criticized for a fighting a blown up featherweight in Willliams

[Bushidō]

I think Williams would have a great shot at beating Hopkins

[MANGLER]

Bhop. Is this thread serious? Pwill don't belong above 160.

[tocayito1]

bhop would make him look like a fool....all pwill can do is throw punches he cant fight on this inside and cant box he gets destroyed by bhop

B HOP would win

B Hop beat Joe Calzaghe who has a real hi output, more than even Williams, B hop by Late TKO or UD.

You really think Paul Williams would be a tougher fight for Hopkins than Chad Dawson?

I do. He has better stamina and hasn't been rocked like Dawson has despite fighting at lower weights. I think it's close though because Dawson does have good boxing skills. But I remember that time of where everybody wanted to Calzaghe to fight Pavlik right after that controversial decision that Dawson got over Johnson. I think Dawson would've been the tougher match up for Calzaghe than Pavlik though. But that decision in the Johnson fight rubbed some people the wrong way about him, and it did me too. Johnson is a tough nut to crack, but if Dawson is as good as people make him out to be, he should win the rematch handily. Because that is what his most hardcore supporters are claiming he will do.

[Sorbetero]

this is an interesting match

[Bhopreign]

Hopkins would win.

Hopkins approaches the fight like it's a Philly street fight and roughs Paul up all night long with the rright hand, left hook, and inside dirty boxing techniques.

If order for Williams to be effective he needs room to throw his shots, Hopkins would land the right hand lead, ties his ass up, and rough him up in the clinch over and over and over again.

Paul's chin is also always there to be hit, and he hasn't even proven he can take a shot at 160 yet, let alone against a prime 160lbs version of Hopkins, or the older Light Heavyweight version.

Calzaghe's chin is better than Williams', and Hopkins put him down. Though that was obviously more of a balance issue than anything else.

Which brings me to my next point.....

Calzaghe's balance is better than Williams', also.
