Was Hopkins more impressive at middleweight or light heavyweight?

    I'm split on this one. I actually think he's very underrated at 175.

    His middleweight legacy to me is more about his longevity and number of title defenses

    But I feel he fought more dangerous opponents at 175, often spotting them 10 years or better. Not to mention he was a two time champion

    If you ask me, both careers on their own are HOF worthy, one without the other
