The idea of De La Hoya-Pacquiao in 2008 at 147 was laughable. DLH hadn't fought at 147 since the Gatti fight, more than 7 1/2 years earlier, and Pacquiao had never fought above 135.
This is boxing; it's possible. If Hopkins wins impressively vs. Murat ("impressively" will be a very relative term here, guys), SHO and GBP will push for it, guaranteed.
Both fighters were younger, and De la Hoya was dropping down ONE weight class...and it hurt him.
Bernard CANNOT make 160. I am 100% sure. He drops to 160, he will be a skeleton.
Floyd likes names on his resume and he don't mind if they are bloated up to fight him, weight drained, or past it his history proves, so I see no reason why he wouldn't fight BH.
