          Hopkins was just like Hagler and barely rehydrated. They came in on weight and never had stamina issues for the most part.

            That is a lie.

              Bernard made 160 late in his 30's and that's pretty amazing to me. At 6'1" although not a heavy bodied man he was a big Middleweight. I saw Bernard weigh in at least twice and saw Hagler weigh in probably 3 or 4 times and Bernard at 160 fought at around 172-75! Hagler may have re-hydrated 8 to 9 but not more than that.

              I remember being on a Hagler card in Maine and everyone had birthday cake for Marvin after he dispatched some kid from Cincy. The kid he stopped enjoyed the cake too!

                Hopkins had one of the smallest waists I ever saw.

                  Trying to trace the heavyweight title as far back as it goes. From ancient Greece to AJ. It's going to be called "A History of Violence"

                    well if this is true he has a 4 lb weight advantage not 15. I always figured both these men weren't big weight cutters.
