Funny De La Hoya Self Ownage regarding catchweights

[Franco2012]

Hopkins was 156 on that day.

De La Hoya should STFU,cuz Hopkins never fought at 156 in his pro career and he is pro since 88 or something like that!

It was actually 156 pounds not 158.

It was actually 156 pounds not 158.

On wikipedia it says 158:

Although the fight was at a catchweight of 158 pounds (72 kg), many thought De La Hoya was too small for the weight class, and Hopkins was considered a heavy favorite.

Oscar still and will always hate Pacquiao for embarrasing and sending him into retirement.

I'm pretty sure it was a catchweight of 158 but Hopkins weighed in at 156 just to prove a point.

Like larry merchant if hopkins really wanted to he could have made 154 back in those days.

158 is a more prestigious weight class than 150 in Oscar's eyes, I guess.

Good find D33p. I've always thought Oscar was an idiot. Glad to know he's still working dilligently to prove me right.
