    So you're saying he'd have been better served... say going on a European tour in hopes of someone at 168 fighting him, rather than establishing a legacy at 160?

        djtmal was exposed as hopkins #1 hater a long time ago, I'm surprised people even reply to him. If you do a search for his name on google, you can find anti-hopkins posts on various websites that go back 4-5 years ago. He's quite dedicated to his hate, it's almost impressive if it wasn't so sad.

              If anything, Hopkins-Wright is more of a LHW fight since B-Hop's magazine title was at stake. Whereas Hopkins-Pavlik was just a regular catchweight fight.
              Where in any of my posts do you see me say Pavlik fought B-Hop at LHW?

                Nope. Here is a post from 2005 full of bhop hate on a different boxing website.



                You can search even further back if you wanted to. My quick search reveals that probably 90% of his posts on all boxing related websites are Bernard Hopkins related, and that includes this site. So for the past 4-5 years, 90% of his boxing related talk is b-hop hate! lmao, who hurt you man?!? What did bhop do to you? lmao

                    So you said three of those fighters moved up two divisions, explain yourself.
                    I know your point was to disprove that three of those fighters moved up two division (and you're correct). I was just saying that Wink and Pavlik fights are the same exact scenario - either they both moved up two divisions, or they both moved up one division plus 2 lb. (170 catchweight).
