I said he was making 160 easy and the fact that he made 158 at 39 supports this. I admit the word easy is an understatement as only a man like Hopkins could make it easy due to his life style... But that's Hopkins. Everyone is different. Its no contardiction to say, for example, that Vargas couldn't get down to 154.
Its all down to the individual. Cotto was struggling at 140 and has thrived at 146.
Back to Hopkins. Also the MANOR in which Hopkins went about moving up to Light Heavyweight strongly suggests that his body was fine at 160. He looked fine in his fights against Taylor.
