Another one would be Willie Pep.
Two more would be Aaron Pryor and Kostya Tszyu. Some fighters find that their body type and fighting style mesh perfectly at one particular weight and stay there. I don't necessarily agree that ATGs have to move up in weight to prove anything.
Pryor did move up though. Some suggest he peaked as a Lightweight before finally getting shot at the title when he moved up.
Pryor is known and ranked for his work at 140. If I'm not mistaken, GGG ahead his first few fights at 154, so by your logic he had moved up already. Point is, if he destroys everyone and completely cleans out his division, that is enough for ATG status. Same with Hagler, Tyson, Louis, Pep...etc.
But the difference is Pryor worked at Lightweight for three years. He was avoided so moved up and got his shot because of his top 10 ranking at Lightweight. Golovkin has made his name thus far as a Middleweight.
Pryor's career at Lightweight adds to his legacy. As mentioned some believe he peaked as a 135lber he was that good...

LOL..... you know I love ya, Brock.
But your hate for GGG comes out of your pores. ;D
IMO, GGG is neither the overhyped untested charlatan you say he is..... nor the second coming as some on here claim he is. He is a very good, unbeaten MW, with some big fights ahead of him. He's ducked no one that I know of..... takes on all comers.... and is a welcome sight away from Floyd and his boring style. He's by no means done yet.... and it remains to be seen how he'll do against the very elite competition (if it ever comes to pass).
