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

[Santo Domingo]

I'm a big fan of Paul Williams, but the most feared man tag he has is exaggerated I'll have to admit. That award would have to go to Glen Johnson. HBO had to pull Dawson's fingernails out with pliers for him to take that rematch. James Kirkland, Chad Dawson, Bernard Hopkins, Allan Green, Sergei Dzinziruk, and Clottey have all expressed interest in fighting Paul Williams. Even though Clottey's call outs hold no weight because of Arum not putting up any money for the fight, I still have to give Clottey credit for mentioning Paul's name.

That only underscores Paul's point. A bunch of guys in much higher weight classes mention his name. Chad Dawson? Allan Green? Allan Green has fought at LHW and SMW his whole career. And he is calling out a guy who s a Welterweight or Superwelterweight.

There is some serious ***** ****.

[Hiram Joel]

B-hop is gonna end Paul W. Career. He will never be the same. lol

[Pugilistic™]

Hopkins can't get below 170 at this stage.

[PittyPat]

I thought they said PWill could go as high as 168?

[djtmal]

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

why is hopkins always trying to beat up on fighters two and three divisions smaller...

no wonder why this guy has never been knocked down or ko'd...

can somebody retire this old fart already...geez

[djtmal]

Hopkins can't get below 170 at this stage.

please man his last fight was at 170...whats the problem with coming down 5 lbs...especially if williams is moving up roughly 16 if his management is telling the truth

[THE REED]

Paul walks around at 175 at least.

Where do you even come up with that number?

Even for his middleweight fights he came in at 157lbs.

He doesnt walk around at 175lbs. Some people are just NATURALLY skinny.. whether they are tall or not.

[Ravishing]

Hopkins aint coming down below Super Middleweight

[Jim Jeffries]

Where do you even come up with that number?

Even for his middleweight fights he came in at 157lbs.

Reed. Paul came into the ring in the first Quintana fight at 165.
Fought Margarito weighing 164. Fought Winky weighing 166. A walk around weight 9 or 10 pounds above your fighting weight is not out of the question.

Paul is 6'3" and while he looks emaciated at the weigh ins, he's not that skinny in the ring:

[Jiddu Dali]

this fight is meaningless
