    Why? He won his title away, stopped Ruiz who had been one of Americas best HWs for the past decade

    Hopkins fought in a bunch of Catchweight fights.

    DLH,Pavlik,Wright & Calzaghe.

    DLH fight im sure is DLH's terms but the other 3 Hopkins had leverage over.

    I did forget that Marquez was involved in what was supposed to be a catch weight fight with Maywheather but Maywheather didnt follow those rules so Marquez could come off of this list

    Haye won WBC WBA WBO Ring CW titles and the WBA HW title all in around 24 fights and has won titles away.

    What are you banging your head for. Did you think of Morales when you were trying to give words of wisdom a few pages back? No, you didnt contribute anything, so dont waste time on this outstanding thread

    What was Martinez idea to fight Cotto at that weight, Cotto like the idea of the fight but Arum apparently not.

    :rofl the list of non-hypejobs (the majority) is extensively long so it might be easier to mention hypejobs einstein:lol:

    Please also educate us on where exactly you cross the line between a fighter that's a hypejob and a fighter who is very good and proven but loses to a/the better fighter.

    Well, if you place Morales there, you have to put in Barrera. He is still ''active'' after all.
