No but there are some who must be smoking the Sherms because they seem to think Paul can go to any weight & be a ass kicking machine.

I personally think he can be the top man at 154 and 160. But that has more to do with the lack of fighters in those divisions. Outside of Martinez and MAYBE Santos, I think PWill handles all of those fighters with ease. 168 is a whole different situation. Them guys can fight. Abraham, Froch, Ward, etc would be a tough task for Williams to tackle. He's not ready for that division yet.

Bring on The Klitschko's!!! Hopefully Williams bony arms can act as a spear and drive their chins and teeth fragments through the tops of their skulls... How's that Stevenski??

Pwill vs X would be an interesting fight. X had problems with Slappys workrate and quickness.

B-Hop would make Williams look silly and have him out in 10 rounds. P-Will throws alot but he doesnt have as fast of hands and doesnt have the movement of Slappy.

I agree. Flaws and all Williams beats everybody from 147-160 unless Mayweather comes back with a Sugar Ray Leonard kinda killer instinct. It would be an uphill battle for him but he could be trouble for Williams as Williams would be trouble for him and once again you gotta give credit to a fighter NO ONE seems to wanna fight it says a lot about that fighter. There is nothing to gain from a Hopkins fight but a loss for Hopkins and more excuses on why he loss. Williams should be in title matches from here on. Hopkins needs to make the Adomek fight then retire if he cant get Roy again. Im not remotely saying that Williams is unbeatable but unfortunately there's a lack of competition out there right now.

Besides more entertainment what does Williams have to gain by beating B-Hop? Nothing but a win over a great fighter at the end of his career. If the Winky fight didnt satisfy most why would a B-Hop fight? Proper management wouldn't be interested in a B-Hop fight for less than 4-5 mill other than that it's onward and upward. Let's rule 154-160 and if anything look to fight the winner of the 168 tournament. Let B-Hop ride off into the sunset so the next generation can do their thing

Hopkins would take Williams apart.

Everyone Williams fan would be surprised when Williams was suddenly a whole lot less active, and being countered all night. Beating Hopkins at 170 is a whole different animal than beating an inactive Winky at 160. The Wright win was a good one, but nowhere near what a Hopkins win at 170 would be.

if williams beat hopkins, that would be huge for him. hopkins, regardless of his age, is one of the biggest names in boxing. if he were to beat him it would make him legendary, at least for the moment. but that being said, hopkins watches the blueprint that quintana laid out and embarrasses him. williams is a huge talent but he's still green. and just like williams is a nightmare for winky stylewise, hopkins is exactly the style that causes nightmares for williams. he'll pick him apart.

Of course it would be, but these Williams nut huggers are scared shitless that he'd get beat up, so they try and skirt the prospect of the fight by saying the fight is meaningless, that it would only mean a loss for Hopkins. IF that's the case, it would be some legitimate exposure for Williams and a CAREER HIGH PAY DAY.

No Nuthugger here but please tell me where Williams goes after beating Hopkins cause I think he would outwork boring Bernard? Out of his range to Dawson? 168 too soon? Williams should fight at 154-160 unless there's a lot of money involved with Bernard and Bernard comes down. Bernard should be gunning for Dawson, Adamek or Roy.
