    So Hagler and Duran were within a lb of each other? Here's another thing, Hagler was like Hopkins and Mayweather, he fought around his walking around weight. So Hagler was normally around 160-165 lbs anyway. Duran consistently got heavy between fights and always had to cut a good amount of weight no matter what division he fought in. He never fought above his walking around weight, that's for sure.

    So i guess leonard has a stain on his rep also being that he won 2 titles in 2 different weight classes at a catch weight?

    Cant see the difference? Floyd fights around his walk around weight, Pac doesnt. Floyd has more then likely never even wieghed above 155 in his life let alone fighting at 160.

    No doubt, people still use those as examples of disgraceful weight stips 30 years later. But SRL has a lot to fall back on, wins over multiple ATGs

    floyd's been doing that for years, but its pretty clear that fighting at 154 is his limit. if anything makes the canelo fight interesting, its that it is new territory for floyd

    I agree, 154 is his max, He is 36 he is not going to get heavier now.

    I doubt there would be a 15 pound difference, wasn't the fight made while there was still same day weigh ins?

    This, coupled with the fact that he is unbeatable at 147.

    You can bet Duran was comfortably outweighed in the ring. Hagler would rehydrate to 170 - 172.
