How does beating a fighter who is moving up a bad win for some?

[ßringer]

would you say De La Hoya was a Super Featherweight because that is the divisio he started in? NO.. at least Marvin Hagler fought dudes who moved up ONE division or TWO..
Bernard Hopkins fought DLH (who as stated earlier, started his career @ Super Featherweight) That's pretty pathetic.

Bernard had to weigh in at 156 for Oscar. That's basically Junior Middleweight.

The division Oscar has done best in since his 147 days.

He had two fights at 130... and then he was a 135 pounder. In fact, he started at 135.

Duran had like 60 fights at LW, right?

Yeah, uhhhh, I'm not really sure how you can make such a huge deal about one guy on Hopkins's resume if your favorite fought Duran. I don't care that you already said that was not good for Hagler... you clearly aren't making as big of a deal out of itas you are the Hopkins-DLH fight.

Duran already KO'ed a horse that mf'er would probably fight the gorilla that Tyson wanted to clash with

Duran would show up in the middle of the pacific ocean with his gloves on calling out the largest whale.. he'd prob. ko it and eat it after balooning up 20+ pounds.

He did fight someone bigger and younger. His name was Antonio Tarver.

ONE name? woooooooow!!!!

I wasn't aware light middleweight was Oscar's "best"..

ONE name? woooooooow!!!!

He was the recognized Light heavyweight champion of the world. Sugar Ray Robinson one of the greatest middleweights ever failed to win the LHW title in his one attempt in that division.

It isn't just ONE guy on Hopkins resume.. it's a ton of them.

John Mugabi was a Jr. Middleweight

Sugar Ray Leonard was a Welterweight.

Tommy Hearns was a Welterweight.

Roberto Duran was a blown up Lightweight.

Marcos Geraldo was a Jr. Middleweight.

But you have to take into account what those guys did for the rest of their careers. Cant really say that most of those guys didnt belong in the ring with him. They all went on to stay competetive at that weight or higher. Maybe not all but you get the point.

It's not like Cotto hasn't taken advantage of guys moving up in weight either.

Mosley is a former Lightweight.

Judah, a Junior Welterweight.

Urkal, a Junior Welterweight.
