Newsflash: 39 years old 158 pounds Hopkins beats De la Hoya and looks great

You mean to say Canelo and Hopkins are on the same level ? atsch

 

Stupid thread.

How bout this for a question: How do you feel that soon enough the best Puerto Kneecan fighter will be a gay dude?

 

Floyd is attempting to drain Alvarez. Is it hard to understand?

 

canelo is 23 and been fighting blown up fighters and exhumed bodies.

 

I'll just repeat my reply from the other thread. This is a good example. But Hopkins wasn't really considered big for middleweight.

Historically, this looks like an outlier. Most of the catchweights I can recall have benefited the smaller fighter.

It would be cool to make a list of notable catchweight fights and their results, though.

 

yep people dont get it! Canelo is 23, gonna have no problem at 152, people making lame excuses when a 39 yr old did it when hes been a middle weight for 15 years!!!!!!

 

Hopkins when he was at 160 he always walked around his weight he never had to lose much weight to make 160 and he didnt gain much weight after the weigh in, He was similar to Mayweather at 147 in that regard, while Canelo walks around 175/180 and has to lose 20 or more pounds just to make the 154 limit and then gains something like 17 pounds after the weigh in, him and Hopkins couldnt be more different in that regard and i think the comparison between Hopkins and Canelo is not a good one cause both take different approaches to weight and weight making.

 

Different fighters ,different ways of doing things, Hopkins was much more disciplined than Canelo who if he continues to do what he does to his body wont have the longevity someone like Hopkins or Mayweather guys who do things the right way have.

 

He's just trying to make it some what fair. Canelo will be 170+ on fight night

 

this is true but the fact of the matter is, is Hopkins was fighting at middle weight for ever!! Then was asked to come down 2 pounds, was he weight drained?? wouldnt it hurt a older fighter more then a younger fighter??
