Scroll down to the section regarding Hopkins and De La Hoya. He did come in intentionally low, but it was still at a catchweight.

The fight was at a catchweight homie.

the fight was a middleweight title fight but they had an agreement in the contract that hopkins would come in lower than 160.

Have I said it before

[Mr. Fantastic]

Fight was a catchweight.

[Thread Stealer]

The contracted weight was 158. It was common knowledge at the time.

DLH was even interviewed regarding the catch weight by ESPN after the weigh-in (which was a pretty lively one).
