    I'd be willing to agree with that, but Adamek would have a much better shot at hurting Bernard than Williams would.

    I am actually surprised by the results in this thread.

    I would have imagined more people picking Williams.

    People probably figure Hops is too strong, too smart for Paul. I think he'd give Bernard a run for his money.

    Usually, when a fighter has a performance like Williams just did, people would pick him over God in a 12-rounder.

    :lol:

    True! Margarito after Cotto and Pac after ODLH were perhaps the two worst in recent time.

    Hopkins is too big, too strong, and too smart for PW. He would be all over PW. He would keep the fight in close ranger and lean on him. B-Hop by TKO

    He wants nothing to do with Hops... Have you ever seen anyone throw a 1000 punches verses hops no... Cal beat him but cal is a bigger and nore experienced..

    He'd fight him regardless.

    Hopkins capitalizes on the openings if he fights like he did against Pavlik, and wins a fairly wide UD. If he gets more cautious, ala Winky or Calzaghe, he gets pointed.

    Yep he would fight him .. I rate PW he will fight anyone.. But if I was his manager I wouldnt let him Close to Hops...

    I just dont think it be fair.. But If he won he would be P4P number 1... actually could you imagine him vs pac at 147

    I think Pac's awesome but how could he beat that
