    Trinidad and De La Hoya where not middleweights. As for Tarver, Pavlik and Johnson? What about em?

      Hopkins was too inactive for the first 8 rounds of both fights, he should of listen to the HBO team after his first fight with Taylor who also had Taylor winning

        TS I agree with you. Hopkins doesnt have that many great wins.

        He gets praise for being old and still effective, but in reality he aint a top 50 ATG I agree

          It's not about their skills... their speed slows down, their power isn't as effective against larger guys. Going up in weight is a lot harder to do.

          Unless your name is Manny Pacquiao... going up in weight makes a difference.

          It's a historical fact.

            He beat nobody of interest at his own weight for a really long time. Now he's fighting a second joke fight in a row and knowingly ducking Dawson.

                history has shown that Tito and Oscar were not great MW, their prime division is WW. Johnson is a journeyman, Pavlik and Wright have achieved nothing at LHW

                    trinidad moved up to MW and won the WBA MW title, And Oscar Moved up as well and won the WBO MW title, as of Pavlik,Tarver and Johnson.. Pavlik Beated JT who beated hopkins twice and B-hop was the first man to beat pavlik and tarver and johnson were the first guys to KO a weight drained jones jr where as bernard Beat Johnson by TKO and Tarver on UD and was also the first man to Knock Down Tarver..
