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

[Stoppage]

This fight won't happen at 165 pounds.

[Jim Jeffries]

wait

so when in this universe did 170=168?

Well 168 is closer to 170 than 165, don't you think?

[-Hyperion-]

lol at williams calling the shots like he is someone.........hopkins already said 170 is the lowest weight he can make.....

[ИATAS]

If 170 is too much for Williams 165 is definitely too low for hopkins. This fight wont happen. Bhop vs Adamek in January. Williams should go after Sergei Dzindziruk

Williams Hopkins at 168lbs period. Williams said anybody from 147-168 Hopkins can drop 2 lbs and fight him at the 168 mark. Williams is not getting any other big money fight this year. The GHOST has been busted for a while now with his period or whatever he claims is keeping him from making the fight. I think Williams can get the same money for fighting Hopkibns plus it may even be PPV for him. If he wins or the fight is a good one than he could land some other big fights in 2010. To me Hopkins is no longer relivant or should I say he does not fight often enough to be relivant in any weight class and at this point it is for $ and legacy to him. Williams has a name and a rep right now and Hopkins could take out Pavlik the way he did at his age and get in there with another dangerous fighter and do the smae does tons for his legacy. All this blown up stuff has got to stop. the man is 6'2 and has a big frame he can carry 168 or he wouldn't be sayign ANYBODY FROM 147 TO 168 THEN. if B Hop gives him a boxing lesson he gets his dues from me....Lefty

So it's ok for Paul to move up and beat Hopkins where he's best at but the same doesn't apply for Paul? 165lbs is fine and for Bernard to say he'd fill in should mean that he's willing to come down to 160lbs or not volunteer. Paul should go to 154lbs and clean up there. Martinez and Spinks would be easy belts for Paul to get.

i agree 100%...

hops is my dude, just like williams, but let's be real - hopkins came out and challenged williams after the pavlik fight fell through. all williams is doing is making a counter offer. hopkins can either come back w/ one of his own, like 168, or just say no, and fight the winner of johnson-dawson, like mangler said.
