    Very true.

    Hopkins is a legend at 160 but his resume is vastly overated. It is great nodoubt but there was a lack of superstar talent at 160 pretty much like today in which we have solid yet not spectacular fighters at 160.

    Also if people remember Hopkins biggest victories at middleweight came against a fighter who started at 147 and a fighter who started at 130, which is ironic considering the hate Golovkin is getting for chasing Cotto and his WBC belt.

    Lemieux would have zero chance against DeGale or Jack

    Agreed.


    Lemieux at 168 however wouldn't look drained, and Abraham-Lemieux could be a barnburner.
