    Why does everyone bring up Hagler to defend Hopkins, or any other MW? Hagler fought his entire career at MW. Hagler is listed at 5’9”. Meanwhile, Hopkins at 6’1” began his career at CW and boiled himself down to MW, before eventually moving up through the ranks.

    Could this a weight bully tactic on BHop’s part?

    Glen Johnson was 32-0 and had only faced 6 or 8 fighters with winning records, he then couldn't cut it at 168.....hang on to that if you want.

    160 was weak when Hopkins was champ deal with it.

    Until he was 40 when he was still under 170 at fight night?(verifyable fact)
    Weighing in at 156 at 39 years old vs DLH?
    Nope no real weight bullying.
    He was fresh out of jail when in his first fight he was probably just lifting weights in there.

    Hopkins was never 6'1.he doesn't even look taller than Jones when they first fought



    Hagler fought his entire career atMW and also retired 7 years younger than Hopkins was before he moved up, what's your point.

    Nobody can drain themselves for 15 years until they're 40 and still be the best in the division for most of that time

    Hard to see Hopkins record ever being broken. Maybe today was the last chance at it.
