    Hopkins was a larger MW, Monzon too Tiger try as he might always fought tooth and claw with the scales a SMW in the wrong era I consider him the biggest of the four despite being only 5ft8.... As for Reggie I dunno honestly.

    they kind of all weighed in under the same rule set that their competitors did. So yeah, that sounds like the definition of normal. They were normal sized 160 lbs...unless you wanna call them weight bullies lol.

    Hopkins and Reggie were big because they fought post-Eubank-Watson II so post-same day weigh-in.

    Monzon was huge for his time but would be average today
