Bernard Hopkins has never fought a bigger man

[KingTito]

Jones and Tarver are bigger. Glen Johnson has been at LHW for some time.

Hopkins walking around at 190, are you crazy? When hopkins was middleweight he walked around at middleweight. He stayed in shape 365 days a year which is why he's still active at age 44. Most of his fights he came in less then his opponents did. It's rediculous.

Sure, if he WANTED to weigh more he could have, but thats true for EVERY fighter. You're going to fault a man for being in tremendous shape? That's crazy that's like saying Marvin Hagler was a cheater because he was a gym freak and was constantly in shape (no surprise that hagler is bhop's hero either).

This is honestly ridiculous. Hopkins fought who ever was put in front of him. Trinidad was knocking big middleweights out and most thought tito was gonna beat hop, and then once hopkins beat his ass people started to claim that he was beating a WW. Honestly Hopkins weighed in at 157 pounds the same weight as Tito, and when he fought DLH he came in at 156 pounds. I f a man can comfortably make weight and preform at the level Hopkins has for the last 10+ years then it is honestly insulting to claim that he is fighting the smaller men when he weighs the same or less than then inside the ring as well as outside of it year round. He may be taller than some of his opponents but he certainly isn't the bigger man, since it is safe to say that Ricky Hatton walks arund at higher weights that hopkins.

I say you ARE whatever weight you can make... If Hopkins had little trouble making Middleweight, he was a Middleweight! If you locked Hatton in a room full of Guiness and Little Debbie snacks for 3 months, he would weigh as much as a small airplane.... that doesn't make him a natural heavyweight.

Bernard Hopkins has never fought a bigger man than himself. He's mostly gone after smaller men (Trinidad, De La Hoya, Wright) or a few the same size (Tarver).

His recent opponents - Pavlik, Calzaghe, and Wright - were all moving up from smaller weight divisions.

Roy Jones defeated John Ruiz at heavyweight. Why has Hopkins always picked on little guys?

Antonio Tarver.

cmon Tunney you knew that.
