    Yea I could be wrong, just an observation, I could be wrong though, maybe he was really hurt, judges had Hop winning up till that point, Id have to watch it again.

      Because he was 7 years older then when he faced Tito?

        Taller Pavlik Tarver Holmes Mercado
        Same size Taylor


        So whats the difference again?
        Not sure what point youre trying to make. Try finding someone who will agree that their are more welterweights the size of Margarito than their were middleweights the size of Hopkins and you will be out of luck.

          That fight was in 2001, Calzaghe and Tito pressure is different, Hop doesnt have the stamina anyway like he once did.

            Look you said B-Hop is bigger

            Yet Tito weighed more fight night

            You said "He knew not to impose his size, cuz no one would go toe to toe with Tito"

            So IF and IF Cotto were to ever beat Floyd. Would it be fair for me to say "Cotto beat a smaller Floyd. Who moved up from 130" Would it?

              I just looked at some of Hopkins opponents going as far back as 96.

              I listed the ones who were bigger.


              Guess what, the rest weren't.


              So, who are all of these same sized middleweights that Hopkins fought?


              What division has bigger guys is irrelevant. What matters is who each respective fighter fought.

              Hopkins, like many great champions, was the bigger man in most of his contests.

              Are you going to try and argue facts with me?

                Yes I will argue with you, are you basing size on weight or what, body frame? Which is it ese.

                  Try listing the fighters who were the same size or bigger than Margarito, you cant have it both ways.

                      William Bo James was 6'0, Glen Johnson was the same size really if not bigger, Eastman is 5'11 about the same size.
