    Edit: Oh boy, do I feel stupid. I accidentally took the fighters that Hopkins fought. My bad.
    when u got multi/title/weight titlists, hof and atg in your list, do you not get that your joke is on yourself? It surely must have dawned on you before you hit the return key.

      I love monzon but I can't look over the fact that they were much smaller men and fighting in a weight class they weren't the best at.

        just because Canelo created a fictional version of middleweight doesn't mean he has no experience at MW. Esp. since he fought at super middleweight earlier, and also my no means does he look small at 165. It wasn't like when Oscar fought Sturm, and Oscar just looked like a pudgy welterweight.

          When did he fight them and when did they get made into HOF'ers?

            If you can't see Hopkins resume is vastly superior then you are blinded by fanboyism or just don't know boxing.

                Literally 90% of his resume but its not worth pointing out or debating at the risk of his rabid fanbase following you derailing your threads nonstop.
                It's not worth it to point out because it's such a stupid observation to make. I could make this about any fighter.

                Guess what: boxers usually have long careers in boxing. Not uncommon for someone who started professionally boxing as an 18 year old to gain a lot of weight from 21-30.

                  Joe Lipsey.
                  3 x Robert Allen

                  Or do you mean Joppy who had 2 fights in 3 years, and one of them was a loss, and another one very close with a domestic fighter.

                  Or Morrade Hakkar?

                  Or inactive Keith Holmes?

                  Or maybe you mean Steve Frank?

                    Because they are ignorant

                    And Griffith was a natural welterweight too, and he fought with Monzón with several wars in his back

                      Yup. A lot of guys moved up to fight Hagler.

                      (I guess HE sucks, too.)
