Bernard only weighed 157 (or 1 pound more) when he fought Trinidad in '01. He weighed 158 at other times. Hopkins had plenty of fights where he came in well below 160.

The Hopkins-DLH fight was a legit 160 pound middleweight championship fight. There was no clause regarding a reduced weight limit.






Absolutly true...In the Sturm fight was the worst I ever seen DLH look physically...he had flab on him....I am sure for the hopkins fight he wanted to be in the best shape he could....I don't think it is that big of deal Hopkins did not come in at 160.....160 is the limit not what you have to weigh...
