    Came in the lightest for their weight classes?

    Napoles coming in at 153 against Monzon?

    Didn't Henry Armstrong defend the welterweight belt at featherweight status a few times?

    I've always found it interesting that both Hagler and Hopkin's dropped down extremely low in weight to fight Hoya and Duran respectively. As if to say they didn't HAVE to be the far bigger man to win.
