      Hopkins can KO Williams in the first 5 rounds and people will whine that he's fighting a welterweight. "JUST ANOTHER BLOWN UP FIGHTER FOR BERNARD"

          I don't like this counter offer by Paul Williams. Just say you don't want the fight period if you're not willing to fight Hopkins at 170. Bernard is going on 45 years old. Beat him at his best so you'll get credit for it. Hell, I'm getting ready to do something I don't want to do now. And that's give Pavlik a little bit of credit for fighting B-Hop at 170. I hate it when one fighter tries to tip the playing field so much in their advantage. This is the reason that Pacquiao gets bashed. And Williams is going to follow suit? I thought he was better than that.

          Your point/arguement doesnt hold any weight, Hopkins at 170 what weight is that???? Hopkinsweight??? Pacquiao wanting to fight for the 147 belt at 143/144/145 is totally different from Williams asking Hopkins to meet him at 165...for NO belt..

            also, hopkins is the one bein the ***** here. if you dont wanna come down in weight, then stop pickin on smaller guys and fight someone ur own damn size


            Simple logic thank you, Some idiot like the poster you replied to dont really understand the way boxing works, So Williams is suppose to jump at the 170 offer just like that according to some???

            If Hopkins cant come down then he should fight someone else..

              Calm down ray.

              I was referring to pwill's fanboys saying that pwill would take on anybody up to 168. I know full well how negotiating takes place.

                Lol did actually know it was you sorry, but dont let fanboys sway your post..I get what you mean though, I dont like the Williams is the "most feared man" BS but people should expect him to fight Hopkins at 170 when 170 isnt an actual weight division.

                  Unless you mean Jr Middleweight your wrong...

                  And no I don't think Bernard will drop to 165 which means I doubt it happens...

                    Dude's like 6'1 or 6'2.

                    How is that even possible???

                    I'm 6'1 and I walk around between 185-200.

                    I can't imagine being 150.
                    I was thinking same...even 160 or something like clottey...150 is ridiculous

                      That is unrealistic for B-Hop, just 5 pounds from middle wieght, and its all **** talk from Williams Promoter.
