Ummm. Joe Calzaghe? And if he couldnt keep up with Joe's pace, he'd struggle with Paul for sure. And comparing Margarito to Hopkins is the most ridiculous contrast I may have ever seen. They couldnt fight more different if they tried. I think this fight would be a barnburner and potential FOTY candidate if it happened.
I really cant see BHOP getting any punches off...Calzaghe put him on the defensive with those slap punches and Paul W doesnt slap punch....plus Paul will hit him on the outside as well as on the inside...BHOP would be looking to just get off one big shot the whole fight while Paul Williams cruises to a UD
I'd really hate to see this fight happen. Hopkins would knock Williams out COLD by the mid rounds, and that would take all the shine off a Pavlik/Williams fight.
If this fight happens, I am leaning on William's maddening workrate to harass Hopkins for a decision. As has been in his previous losses, Hopkins can not deal effectiively anymore with a mover with decent workrate.
Pound for pound , i see williams winning a convincing decision but at the sm wt i might have to go with hopkins he might be to big and williams might be biting of more the he can chew.if williams could be as effectie at sm than he has the right style ,cuz i agree that a punching machine style like williams is the perfect foil for hopkins, jus t dont know about the wt differance
