    nah man.... bhop is too old for williams... hes sitting in his mid 40's ..

    joe c made bhop reveal his true age because of joe c's fighting style
    kelly pavlik made bhop look like he was still in his 20's

    now think about how paul fights and you tell me how good bhop would look against paul williams

    if we are talking about who would beat who.. p4p and all that ****. pw should be at the top or chad dawson

    if were talking about the best TECHNICAL fighters.. bhop should be at the top

    actually i just read your whole post and thats waht you said

    :good

    shut your stupid ass up ***** boy.....

    bernard is in his mid 40's and joe calzaghe made him look rediculously old and exausted because of joe c's activity

    paul is just as active as joe c and probalby more physical ..... as long as paul could eat bhop punches im pretty sure paul would win a decision

    comon man Hopkins did really well against Calzaghe who was alot better than Williams. 42-0 undisputed SMW champ at the time. Sure they both have crazy workrates but the comparison stops there. Calzaghe was bigger, faster, stronger, more experienced and smarter imo

    paul is taller & longer
    arguably faster
    arguably hits harder based on his technique (joe c a lot of light punches vs paul a lot of med level punches mixed in with hard ones)
    experience obviously goes to joey
    smarts eh... i mean joe has more experienced but paul is a pretty well polished natural fighter... just really comfortable in there

    hopkins fought a good fight but his AGE showed in the fight and thats my point.... that fight was about a year and 2 months ago... bhop isnt getting any younger... every day that goes by he is just getting older & older... and paul is getting better every fight that goes by.... I personally think paul beats bhop in a decision in one of bhops last fights ... every one just says bhop is old and washedup .... thats my assessment

    Good thread.


    **** Intentional *******.


    Anyway, it has to be PW at this point. The mere fact that you guys are trying to match a supermiddleweight with a welterweight.... and the fact that all the other guys in his division that are listed won't fight him because he's too big of a "risk" tells you all you need to know.

    All this talk about PW vs BHop is just WWM having a wank

    its a mismatch imo

    There is no argument Paul Williams is faster than Calzaghe. None. Not even close.
