dude, you are obtuse about the whole tito welter weight issue..... it is a KNOWN FACT, that tito would drop down 40+ lbs to fight at welter weight....
if my math is right, 147lbs + 40 lbs = 187lbs..... that was tito's walking around weight in between fights sometimes higher..... how in the **** can you say he was a legit welter weight??? because he ****** up so much weight to make 147 or because that was his natural weight for his size..... NOT!! HE DROPPED ALL THE WEIGHT TO HAVE AN ADVANTAGE over guess what!?!?!?! OVER SMALLER GUYS!!!
DLH dropped 35+ lbs to fight at 135, is that fair? because the bigger guy can make weight and beat up smaller guys?? no, it holds no weight.
now the guy that maintains their weight THROUGHOUT their career, is much harder to do than to move up after you ****** up so much weight.
if you're sucking up that much weight, YOU DO NOT BELONG IN THAT DIVISION........
hopkins started his career at 175, made adjustments after his first loss, and realized that he needed to be in top shape, and being in top shape was maintaining his weight at 160lbs, so he made the adjustment, and HELD IT DOWN FOR 11+ YEARS..
holding your weight at the same weight as you get older is harder and far more tougher to do than to move up out of a division as you grow up and older, gaining weight along the way.... it's easier to move up weight classes when you're 3-4 divisions below your walking around weight.
hopkins stayed at the 160 division because in order for him to be in optimum shape and condition, thats the weight he had to maintain in order to be in PEAK condition......
if more fighters followed suit they would have better longevity in the sport.....
don't be blind to the REAL facts, these so called welter weights were natural 160 lb'ers at the very least 154 lb'ers, but they took their fitness to the extreme to fight below their natural weight ot have nothing but the bigger, stronger man advantage in the lower weights....
if tito and fighters like him throughout recent boxing history, if the fight was the same day as the weigh ins, he and they would not have fought at the lower weights, at the very least, they wouldn't have fought at those weights for as long as they did....
but since they were able to hydrate one full day, we get this semi legal cheating tactic in dropping weight and weight classes.
hopkins never walked around more than 12 lbs in between fights........ he's closer to being a natural 160 lb'er than tito or dlh being a natural welter weight........ well at least by common sense terms, who knows what you tito sycophants or flat out hopkins haters think and believe...... or make up.
