he had da potential to be an excitin fighter! cos he used to stalk each n every round but den turned in2 a patient accurate counter puncher!

i think he did this to preserve his age

[SquareCircle]

is it true he went to jail for strongarm robbery?

ha ha ha, it's funny that Otis Grant was listed as one of that guys scratched opponents, cuz Grant would have schooled the guy too. Talk about having management that doesn't know how to pick tune-ups.

so hopkins fought more then a few of his first fights at light heavyweight.

so hopkins went down all the way down to middleweight to challenge smaller fighters, wow


wow, the hate for margarito? oh, thats right the pretty girl is at welterweight and we want to keep the pretty girl pretty, what a joke

Hopkins walks around at a fit 165-170 between fights. 160 is probably his ideal fighting weight. It's not like he's weight-draining 20 lbs so he can fight smaller guys. To go up to 175, Hopkins is force feeding himself to get enough protein to put on the extra muscle.

I think Hopkins first fight was light-heavy. His conditioning obviously improved and he settled into a more natural weight-class (middle-weight) when he got into shape.

the guys ripped at light heavyweight which leads me to belive he is a nautral light heavyweaght or at least a super middleweight but for him makes middleweight that shows great conditioning and dedication. but im just saying why then the hate towards margarito when margarito is a natural welterweight

and let me add that for hopkins to stay at middleweight for all these years it was a must, for him to be in shape 24-7
