would the win/historical aspect have been slightly tarnished since oscar demanded a stipulated catchweight below the middleweight limit?

I dont remember there being a stiuplated catchweight. Oscar looked like a tall pillsbury dough boy at the full 160 and came in around 155 while Hopkins was saying he got down to 156 so he was prepared to chase DLH around if needed.

The contract weight was 158.

It would have been tarnished somewhat, but not to any significant degree. A win over Hopkins would have been historic.

What a nightmarish World that would have been. Oscarsexual males all over the Planet would have disrobed at "Oscar Fight Parties" like a gay ass named "Boogieman" I know, and either started mastrubating publicly, or even copulating with each other in public places like Sportsbars. Drag Queens such as Te Tumbo would have been comfortable walking around at Nightclubs and bars naked, save for a pair of heels, and perhaps a thong.

The entire Earth would have been affected by the Stench/Plague of Oscarsexuality that would have swept around the country. The film "To Wong Foo, thanks for everything, Julie Newmar" would have had a massive Resurgence, and would be shown daily on HBO and Showtime. Rupaul and Culture Club would have made a huge comeback. And Wham. There would be drag queens everywhere, and all of a sudden "Gayness" would be the in thing. I'm sure that Relentless and Beware could have gone public with their marriage.

A simple "yes it would have been tarnished because of the weight stipulations" or "no the weight stipulation means nothing" would've been fine.

Since the Golden Fishnet lost anyway, to a bigger man, should Culture Club have performed "Karma Chameleon" since Oscar beat so many smaller guys in his career?

Not really, the fight was still at middleweight below the limit weight of 160 lbs. And even then Hopkins was 156 lbs at the weight in.

If DLH would have gotten the decision he would have still had become the middleweight champion.

The answer is no.
