I think he looks good in the division. His arms are a good deal bigger (Arguably to big) but overall I think the weight suits him.

Boxing Monthly had it that he was struggling to make 160 and this division is a natural for him. I hope he fights Calzaghe, I don't give a shit how far past their best they are meant to be, that would be a great fight.

hopkins has that ability to use his basics exactly to his advantage using the jab ,the right uppercut and trained skills he does so well. remember he is clinically flat footed hasnt got the natural talent and is in his 40's and showed how he could change the belief that older than 38 is still a competative age.

as george foreman said "old aint old anymore":good

Yeah many people were surprised he did the dehydration to make 175. They were expecting him to just barely come in at 175.

I was predicting a Tarver win all along due to size differences until I seen the weigh in pictures and everyone was surprised how natural looking and filled out he was at that weight. After I seen that, I knew Tarver was in trouble.

and to think Jermaine T was as strong or if not stronger than B-Hop. I wonder if he will move up in the future.

yeah, sure you did. you saw it all along, huh?:patsch

um read what i posted again. I said that leading up to the fight i was expecting tarver to win. I thought he would be just too big for hops.

Then everyone seen the weigh in photos of Hopkins and he looked like a real 175 pounder, he was huge. Thats when myself along with many others on the board were like damn, Hops is going to pull this off.

I think you misread what I posted.

I was so damn certain that Tarver was just going to massacre him, even after BHop looked great at the weigh in. I think what happened in that fight shocked me more than Antonio.

At 175, I would guess he weighs 175 lbs.

But at LHW fight, might be 2 or 3 lbs over.

If he is weighing 182-185, he is putting on the same sort of weight as he did at 160.
