Team Paul Williams: "We'll Fight Hopkins at 165-Pounds"

[SHB]

Hopkins wants the fight at 170
Williams wants it at 165.

Yeah, can't see where this will end up ...

[Silencers]

Just do this at 168. I think Hopkins can make the weight and Goosen has said Williams can fight there too.

Yeah the supper middlewieght limit is resonable, that way B-hop could come in at 168 and hydrate to 177. B-Hop will destroy him at super middlewieght.

B-Hop would destroy Williams at any weight as long as it's healthy for him.

Gutted about the Pavlik fight being off, was really looking forward to it. I think PWill should've tried to get a date from Pavliks camp to se if they could re-arrange for a reasonable date in November. I think fighting Hopkins would be a mistake, not a lot to gain from it. Also if Williams is having so much trouble getting fights he probably needs to go to Top Rank or Golden Boy

If Bernard Hopkins is serious about a fight with Paul Williams, he will have to move down to 165-pounds to do it. George Peterson, trainer and manager of Williams, says the fight can happen at 165 but has no shot of taking place at Hopkins' requested weight of 170-pounds. Peterson says Williams' walking weight, right now, is around 150-pounds. [details]

Pavlik, Hopkins, Winky (after 2yrs lay off),.......... What's up with Santos, Dzinzirukasdkfdsf, Martinez or even Clottey? They avoiding him too?

I think that's what will happen. Them saying 165 is so Hopkins doesn't want 175.

P Will is a 154/160 pounder, and not long ago was fighting at 147. Sure he's big, but the extra weight put on would affect how he fights and it just gives b-hop more of an advantage. I wouldn't go above 165 if i were P Will.

Agreed, Why go above 165 when Hopkins isnt a champion in any weight??? If Hopkins was to come down to 168 and one of the corrupt organisation put a belt on the line like the Diamond/tatanium linear WBC belt then yeah go to 168 to fight hopkins if not 165 or no fight period.

Schaeffer has said Hopkins is willing to do 170, I think he'll budge to 168 if push came to shove.
