Everyone's physical capabilities vary, Hopkins has exceptional genetics, he fights better as an old cunt than he does being dumped on his arse by Seguto Mercado, a colombian scrub, during years closer to an age where most fighters are enjoying thier physical primes , Paul Williams is another gigantic fighter who obviously malnutrifies himself to make welterweight, but he too, can remarkably recouperate by fight night, just like Hopkins, (Who's bigger than any Supermiddleweight out there),...and that's rather an 'odd' phenomenon for a "natural middleweight" don't you reckon?.. Same day weigh-in's need to return promptly, otherwise you'll always have the odd slippery weavel, with puffer-fish genetics, rorting the system .
