    Hey I gave Margarito credit for beating Cotto, I said it was a great win for him. But Margarito didn't win on skill lets be honest. He won because he was the naturally bigger and stronger man therefore he was able to take Cottos punches and not be effected. Is that a fair assessment?

But 147 is Paul Williams best weight that's what I was saying. And just like Margarito he really shouldnt be fighting at 147 but unlike Margarito he has skills to move up and still be successful because he actually has skill other then to just overpower his opponent.

      How are you just going to lie like that homie?

        Uhhh what are you talking about? Hopkins went up to 175 from 160 and beat Antonio Tarver who was the man at that division. You also seem to forget that he is really a middleweight which he fought the majority of his career as. Let's not act like he's a full fledged Light Heavyweight.

            I'm not talking about RJJ am I? You bitched about Hop fighting smaller guys but overlooked your idol doing it over and over. How big was Forbes? 140 maybe 147 and again hypejob made him go to 154 for the fight. Before you criticize Hop look at DLHs record of fighting smaller men.

              Yeah did i say he JUST moved up in weight? I'm talking about him moving up in General from 147 by fighting at 160 and then at 154, That's moving up isnt it??? Obviously I have to write every little detail out for you to comprehend it.

                Tarver is the only lightheavy he fought. Everyone else, came up to fight him, Winky, Kelly, and Joe.

                    No, because he started his career at MW.

                    Hes bounced around.

                      I'm not overlooking what Oscar has done, but if you're going to hate on the guy, hate on the rest for being just as guilty.
