Hagler And Hopkins In the 1940s/50 s?

Also be interesting to see how far up in weight classes B-hop would go as he put on weight as he did in his career finishing at 175.

 

Well, Hopkins was still fighting (and well) in his 40s and 50s.

 

I used to think that but Hopkins would have probably been done by the age of 30-35 if he was having to fight every 2-3 as opposed to every 9-18 months , I honestly believe the boxing culture was more pure in those days with fighters knowing if they won THE world title the money would come as opposed to these days where the fighters can earn millions by holding a version of a fragmented title .
