    Agree with Floyd. Just goes to show how much bigger B-Hop is. He started as a LHW didn't he.

    no what it shows you is he put his ass on the line its harder to move down and be effective than move up.... because most fighters walk around bigger so its less that they need to come down.... to make the fight

    I never even heard about Hopkins doing a catch-weight! Thats how much of a soldier that dude is! No excuses came down and did the job!

    Yeah, Oscar did that on the sly. He fought Sturm at 160, and then demanded a catchweight against the real champ. Unlike most other fighters, Hopkins is extremely dedicated. The guy was walking around in the 160's, and made the catchweight with no problem. He weighed in 2 lbs. over the JMW limit, and knocked Oscar's ass out; in a MW fight.

    i don't agree with what floyd said about B-HOP. b-hop is one of the greats of this era of boxing.

    Floyd needs to accuse BHOP of roid use now too. When Floyd cant explain why/how someone is winning and looking good, they are on roids.
