Should a win be discredited if they are fighting in a lower weight & smaller opponent

[ImAhUstlEBS]

Man a win is a ****ing win and i dont think a boxwer gives a **** if dumb ass fans like some of you dont give him credit... Odlh V Hopkins was a good fight, Tito V Hopkins was a good fight Pac V Odlh would be a good fight period.. You make the weight you get paid/12

the reason i voted no, is because every fighter has to live with the decision they make.

for example: cotto/margo. cotto moved up and fought a fighter that has been at that weight his whole career, and that fighter has no problem what so ever making weight.

2nd example(but really the same): tito/hopkins. tito moved up and fought a fighter that had been at that division his whole career.

so i say no, only cause if you are afraid of fighting fighters that are bigger, then don't move up. only fans will discredit. the fighter in most cases lives with the choice to move up.

Although I don't give B-Hop much credit for beating DLH I do give him credit for beating Tito. He was just a huge underdog at the time and we can't just ignore Tito's power at MW as we've seen in the Joppy fight.

I think Donald Curry is a good example in this situation.

Moves up to 154 and loses to Mike McCallum, it's considered one of McCallum's best wins because Curry outgrew 147 and was a natural 154 pounder at that time.

Curry moves up to 160 and loses to Michael Nunn, not much credit was given to Nunn for that win because Curry was just way too small for him.
