Mayweather fought Oscar, so why did he never fight Hopkins during that time period?

Hopkins has always been in a higher weight class than Mayweather.

He fought Oscar at Light MW. Oscar couldn't handle a 160 body shot from the Alien.

Yeah, I dunno about that fight. I don't think Hop could have made 154 at that time or really ever. Hopkins is a pretty big guy, the weight difference betwen the two was just too much. Actually, I think it was Hop's style that really scared lil Floyd away, that sounds like a better answer anyway.

Actually, I always wondered why Felix Trinidad never fought Evander Holyfield.
