:bart their resumes are not comparable. B-hops clearly has the superior one. and no, he didn't make his career solely on taking on the smaller fighter, but he did become better noticed.
Floyd cherry picks somewhat, but I disagree with the OP that it is not so much on size. Hopkins however has only Taylor, Taylor, Calzaghe, RJJ and Tarver that were same size as him and he lost four of those five fights.
Castillo was smaller?, Corrales was smaller?, DLH was smaller?, Baldomir was smaller?, Judah was smaller? Hell even Hatton wasn't that smaller and when he was approached at 140 he turned it down and claimed he needs more time. Just keep hugging Calzaghe's balls because once he retires it doesn't look like you will have balls to hug and for a long time.
