    Hopkins started at 175. He's probably the biggest MW champion ever.

    Broner, 135 to 147. Dont think he stopped at 140 on the way? The Maidana fight is also one of faves from recent years

    Lee McAllister jumped up 7 divisions to HW and beat the man who beat Mike Tyson and McAllister was coming off a 5 year layoff too.

    Beat that. I'll wait

    True. Not the biggest, as for instance McClellan was huge, and don't forget about JCC Jr.

    Hopkins was probably ever bigger than McClellan. We all know McClellan was a huge MW and possibly a legit 6'2" with long arms. But he was not muscular or powerful build.

    Hopkins was literally a LHW height and build. He had the shoulders and upper body of a LHW.
