Seriously....
If you take this generation of fighters into account who from 147-154 could have beat the 157 pound version of Hopkins that fought De la Hoya?
He'd be too big for many....
A lot of things would have had to go right for anyone to beat him...
It'll be interesting to see if anyone can name a person....
Actually he weighed in at 156. Oscar had a secret clause in the contract that both boxers had to make 158 or suffer a fine of millions of dollars. I guess Hopkins wanted to make damn sure he wasn't fined all that money so he came in at 156 and he fought well at that weight. Nobody could have defeated him that night. He started off slowly but by round 4 he was in total control and wasn't going to let Oscar finish the fight standing up.
