    Hopkins has done "mayweather" twice with Pavlik and Winky

    Yet Pavlik was one of his best wins? He made Pavlik move up 10 lbs to light heavyweight and did the same with Winky.
    Both from 160 to 170.
    Why doesn't he get blasted for this like Mayweather has? A little feedback please.

    But ppl and betting places made Hopkins the underdog against Pavlik.

    I don't remember Floyd being the underdog against Marquez or Hatton.

          Tito was a middleweight champ and the DLH fight was at what 156?

            Not really. I agree with Pavlik and Winky. But, with Pavlik he was the underdog. The Winky fight really was shameful

            But, you can't compare Oscar and Trinidad. With Floyd-JMM...

                Not comparing them really, just stating that Hopkins biggest wins came against guys moving up from lower weight divisions. To call out Floyd, who has moved from 130 to 154 in his career for only fighting smaller guys, is hypocritical when you look at his resume.

                  I know, im just saying those were smaller fighters.
                  The DLH fight was a shame and a disgrace.

                    I wouldn't have a problem with the JMM fight if JMM was proven at 147. That is my problem with it. Tito and Oscar yes they were smaller but Tito KO'd the #2 MW at MW... And, Oscar-Hopkins fought at a catchweigh where you would think that Hopkins would weak and drained.
