Did Hopkins Fought a 2 Division Lower from His Division?

[Flawless 2]

IMO Bhop is a natural LHW... The only guy he fought that bigger than him is TARVER...

Define "natural weight"

How the hell are they Jr WW. Tito couldn't make 154 or 147 when he fought Hopkins. He out-weighed Hopkins and before the Hopkins bout he KO Joppy at MW.

Oscar is a WW I agree on that one

Don't forget. B-Hop gave it his all to try and K.O Joppy...he FAILED. Joppy has a really good chin

I meant at a point in thier careers, like say all in the 1990s, Trinidad was a welterweight or less while Hopkins was a Middleweight.

More than anything, its just he beat fighters who all had thier best success, at lower weights than him. Some of these fights were even the first time they had even been at the higher weights.(Wright,Pavlik,pretty much DLH)

Just a point, im really not trying to take anything away from him.

Man people are really clutching at straws with these weight/size difference excuses, give it up you losers, you were wrong. I also thought Pavlik would win a decision too but I can admit I was wrong and that B-Hop was amazing on Saturday night. Do the same and move on.

When Bernard was Kelly's age he was fighting at Middleweight so how is he the naturally bigger man? Plus anyone with eyes can see that it was actually Pavlik who looked the taller in the weigh in and the fight.

Kelly has already admited defeat, maybe its time everyone else should as well.

He did start his pro career at LHW.

He did start his pro career at LHW.

Yes, his first bout. What does that prove. His loss. He realized he needs to cut more weight to be more effective, correct. Don't all boxers do that.

Where is he fighting right now? 160? 168? lol he is a natural LHW trying to starve himself to fight in the lower weight class..

Hagler fought the smaller Hearns, lost to the smaller Leonard, went the distance with the much smaller/blown up Duran

every great fighter in HISTORY is guilty of fighting a guy who fights at a lower weight...
