    Marciano could make 175 if he dehydrated

    And that would likely be Evander Holyfield.

    He might be better than that old shopworn version that Marciano faced.

    Not very plausible.

    Certainly not as a heavyweight.

    What did Hopkins come into the ring at?

    The same "shopworn" Charles that steamed through 12 opponents before facing him? Who won his last two fights against Wallace and Satterfield by KO? That's not shopworn, but he certainly was after Marciano got through with him.

    the weight is a little too high for Bernard. Not really a good fight for him but I think he lasts into the mid rounds.

    This may or may not be true, but it doesn't strengthen the case for Hopkins.

    It doesn't matter.

    The bottom line is that he never fought north of light heavyweight.

    You want me to quote what his contemporaries thought of his skills at that time?
